Building a 600+HP Engine In A Day - IS the BMW B58 TRULY Bulletproof?

►When we last saw Michael Essa's BMW 340i turned Drift Taxi, it was shredding around Gridlife events with its essentially OE-spec engine. It handled all of the abuse that Essa threw at it for the season but suffered an issue while waiting for the next one, causing rod knock. To make matters worse, the failure occurred just a few days before the Taxi needed to be at an event. With little time to waste and FCP Euro HQ at his disposal, Essa decided to pull the turbocharged B58 straight-six and rebuild it better than ever. Watch along as Michael Essa and Tyler Pappas of Tyspeed yank the engine out, strip it to bits and rebuild it stronger than ever while giving you an inside look at how BMW built another stout performer. A last-minute engine build is quintessential race car stuff; it doesn't get any more real than this.
