The Big Turbo "still running" Motor club (Evo X only, please)

Sooo.. Stayed up late reading "The blown Motor Club" thread on evoxforums, and let me just throw a shout out to X-Factor for making an excellent thread! (Click here if you haven't seen it). And for someone like me, who just installed an FP Black on a stock motor, some poo came out while reading haha.

Anywho, it got me thinking, what about the other guys that have pushed their either stock or built motors to the edge and are still running strong?!

So in contrast to X-factors thread, Post up your cars Year, Model, Mods, Tuner (only if you want), how much power you're making, how long you've been making it, and driving styles (ie frequently autox'ing, spirited daily driving, or Captain Slow driving for you Top Gear fans)
I want to see bigger turbo's, anywhere from an FP Green, Black or a PT6262.

If you can, include the type of dyno as well.

Now the reason I say "bigger turbos" is because I don't want a million posts of stock turbo guys with bolt ons saying my motor is still intact, it should be! Although there were a few too many stock turbo blown motors in x-factors thread. But lets just call those a rare case. However, if you are seriously pushing your stock turbo with e85 or what have you, I'd love to hear from you as well!

Thanks for your time guys, hopefully this thread is as successful as X-factor's so we can get the best of both worlds!

Thanks!

This setup has been on the car for 8 months. But I've only put about 1000 miles on it since the tune was done. I don't drive it all that much I tend to take my DD around since it usually has all my work junk in it.

2010 GSR
Stock Block
Stock Clutch
Stock Cams
AMS 750R kit
Tuned by AMS
Road Race Tune 459WHP/330WTQ
a few thousand miles on it so far

Beat to death on the track twice with this setup
Spirited Driving on at all times

I have not taken it easy on this car to be honest. I built it to be used as it should, not to granny around. I dont launch it (Never have) but i do track it.

I am honestly surprised that the stock clutch has lasted this long (8k miles of track and spirited driving abuse)

I attest the longevity so far to the tune, and not pushing so much tq. Also, not launching has prolonged the life of the clutch im sure.

we just did a retune on a clients X, it made 440whp almost 2.5 years ago with our bbx full, and last friday it came back- bad fuel pump relay- 14.2 AFR at 27psi LOL

after we fixed and pressure tested it, it made 438whp... car gets road raced often, and always on 93 octane, 50,000 miles on it.
