The Official: How Many Miles On Your Modded EVO X Motor Thread

The purpose of this thread is to to gauge how many miles people are getting on their modded 4B11T motors.

Please post the following:

Power mods
Mileage when the mods were Added
Were you tuned for your mods?
Total Miles since mods and/or tune were added
Driving habits: ie spirited street driving, track days, autocross, etc..
Any problems/reliability issues
If you have experienced an engine failure, cause of failure?


I currently have a 2010 GSR with bone stock motor. I am considering bolt ons and a pro-tune in the near future

I have searched for a comprehensive thread covering this info, but none turned up that covered this specifically. I apologize if this is a repost.

I got my intake and exhaust on within 3000 miles.
Yes I am tuned for them
Total 21000 miles as of yesteday
Car has been through 5 track days and countless 50-100 mile spirited drives.
No problems yet, the transfer case did go out about 5000 ago but the dealership said it was a defect.
