Need a shop here to see WTH is wrong

Hey everyone. First and foremost, I see myself and pretty damn good mechanic. I worked on every from BMW E46’s to ole school mustangs. I got a 2010 Mini R56 and I’ve put a lot into it. When I bought it from Coparts, I know it had a mechanical issue but figured I could find out what it is. It’s the infamous “Crank but won’t start”. I’ve replaced any and everything minus the injectors and the CAS. My mini would be considered a stage 2 with the mods so that gives you and idea of what has been done. When I say I’ve replaced everything you can name, I mean everything out for of pulling the motor. The car will crank and even backfire but nothing else. Any ideas of a good shop I can take it too or if any members that can lead me to what it might be, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks everyone!

Touch base with Open Road Mini (Nicolas Scalisi) in the Ft. Worth area. Nick and his crew might be able to help.

Behavior suggests a fueling problem. Backfire through the intake is a sign of insufficient fuel or too low fuel pressure. Backfire out the exhaust is a sign of too much fuel.

Thanks RockC. The only thing I haven’t replaced are the injectors. I replaced the HPFP, Fuel Pump and Filter. You think it might be the injectors?
