Several years ago EDM Speed Projects built Vini the Mini with a naturally aspirated 4.0 L BMW S65 V8 and M-DCT seven-speed transmission. More recently the company built a Subaru BRZ to compete in time attack. Instead of using the factory 2.0 L flat-four, they swapped in a 3.6 L Subaru EZ36 flat-six. Unfortunately that engine broke and it was replaced by a 3.0 L EZ30 flat-six. The car has raced at several tracks since completing the engine swap. Watch the car lap Silverstone, Donington, and Brands Hatch tracks in the videos below.

EZ36 to EZ30, same progression as the Mighty Car Mods guys. They blamed the asymmetric connecting rods on issues the engine was developing.
I believe that caused this failure as well.
