It seems as if it were just yesterday that so many people were banging on the 4b11t in comparison to the 4g63 saying that the 4b11 wouldn't make 400 much less 500 which is why I absolutely love seing builds like this cranking 500+ on the stock block. Keep on fighting the good fight. I love the X.

 

How's your build coming along??

 

This is sick. Good info for when I do my build!

 

any head studs or do the X's hold boost better than the VIII's & IX's?

 

Its back in play finally. Finished the engine and got it back into the car last Thursday. I've been putzing around in the car a bit to give the engine some break in time and am talking with a local shop about installing a standalone ECU to get the tune settled in.

 

I spoke to Victor today

I may be ordering another standalone unit for a special certain someone!!

We wish you guys the best!!

 

You guys have another turbo kit on the way to you

Keep up the good work!

maf or sd ?

 

Would this be a reliable build for a 500whp DD?

 

That's kind of a "loaded" question.

The term "reliable" is in the hands of the owner, like anything else.

We see evo x's come in for the first clutch job with anywhere from 4,000 miles to 30,000 miles,,, What made 1 clutch last longer than the other? Surely all dealer clutches are the same and one is not more "reliable" than the other right?

 

Yes very true.
Damn hard to say then.

 

What type of racing are you into?

 

Im going to get into circuit racing so probably time attack i gotta do some research and find out what events are going on at the tracks by me and when.

 

Check out Fueledmag.com for updates/news on the "Real Time Attack" circuit that many shops are getting involved with in this area.
