So I've owned my EVO X for about a month now (my first EVO) and I'm slowly building her up to be track ready (brakes, suspension, etc). I'm not even through the break in period but plan for her to ready in a month.
My first track event will be with NCRC late March and I'm planning on tracking her once a month. I'll be having Brian at GST do his magic with just a pill/drop-in/and tune but having had experience blowing turbos in the past, I'm a little worried about whether the new aluminum engine can handle a 14 session weekend of constant revving let alone a monthly tracking schedule.
Does anyone else track their X's and have you heard any horror stories of blown motors, blown turbo's, dead 3rd gears, and fried clutches? I need to know if I should worry and if a tuned motor is safe for regular track use? Are there any precautions I can take? Baffled pan, oil cooler? Who even makes these product?
Thanks in advance.
