Get it right and the EVO X is a very fast and stable car ..... it's an easy drive!

 

 

Congrats and nice build! Good to see an Evo x laying down some hurt.

 

Is your wiring harness and ABS still in the factory location? What are the ambient temps when you run on track? What is that black piece that is in the center of the strut bar?

 

We can run the car at an ambient of 40C/104F; but anymore than that and we start to run into oil temperature problems.

The last event it was 38C/100F.... after 5 laps the oil temp was 135C/275F, even with twin HKS oil coolers, cut fenders etc .... so we do what we can, but there is a limit!

The "black piece" is a duct that channels air from a modified front scoop to the turbo location...... it is one of our many cooling mods.....

 

Very cool! I got to run Yas Marina last year in the Formula Yas cars and it's an incredible track. The prices and availability to use the track for anyone seemed great too. Nice work!

 

Thanks for the feedback. Did you guys relocate the harness and ABS? I can't see it in your picture.
