Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 3:44Upgraded rods and pistons form part of the plan to reach the engine's horsepower target.
  2. 13:01Ivan explains how diamond-like carbon coatings protect finger followers against wear.
  3. 22:47Stacking connecting rods on wrist pins provides a way to check for bending.
  4. 28:01Custom billet aluminum valve covers address rubbing and spark plug seal problems described by Ivan.
  5. 46:45Tavarish presents a higher-torque dual-clutch pack intended to prevent clutch slip.
  6. 49:19The build plan includes higher compression, high-octane fuel and a reversed McLaren Senna intake manifold.

Making more power is only part of Tavarish's McLaren P1 problem. Getting it through the transmission matters too, and his October deep dive eventually moves from exposed engine parts to a high-torque dual-clutch upgrade intended to prevent slipping.

2varish posted nothing new this week, leaving that engineering session as its busiest upload right now. "Building The 1,400 HP McLaren P1 Engine That Everyone Said Couldn't Be Done" has reached roughly 1.6 million views. As we reported here, this is the detailed side of the project, with Ivan at Cannonball Garage explaining the hardware rather than simply presenting a finished supercar.

There is plenty beyond the horsepower target: Ivan demonstrates how bent connecting rods can be checked for alignment, while Tavarish later unboxes custom turbos and outlines a reversed McLaren Senna intake manifold. Those are plans and components, not a completed speed record. The video also includes a sponsored supplement segment.

The channel's subscriber count stayed unchanged over the week, and daily viewing is well below its usual level. Nearby motoring channels High Peak Autos and Royalty Auto Service each collected more than two million weekly views, giving friendly context to 2varish's quieter stretch.

Older discoveries remain active too: the McLaren F1 parts upload featuring Rich Rebuilds is drawing more daily views than the Ferrari SF90 Spider junkyard find. For 2varish, the workshop explanation is doing more of the work than either treasure hunt.
