Intercooler inlet and outlet are placed in the factory location to mount up to your stock piping or aftermarket. Within a split second, the tires lost traction through a sweeping turn and began sliding towards the cliff,” says Narvaez.Record-setting research and development! The ETS intercooler for Evo X is available with your choice of core thickness and choice of color anodizing, with or without the ETS stencil logo. “The car was running solid sector time and was looking good as I entered the fastest section of the climb, a few turns before entering Devil’s Playground in fourth gear.

Roy Narvaez, driver and owner of the Hulk Evo, recalled the tragic moments just seconds before the crash. Walking along vendor alley at this years MOD, we were surprised to see the Narvaez Racing Evo 8 on display at the Whiteline booth, along with a slew of body parts retrieved from the wreckage. Pikes Peak Photo Credit by Yoshiaki AoyamaĬompetitors entering the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb ( see our coverage here) understand the risks of racing up the treacherous 14,110-foot summit in a test that pits driver and racecar against the mountain. This vehicle build delivered such an impact at the event that it received the People’s Choice award. While taking photos of the car, I peered over my lens, expecting Mel Gibson to come barreling out from the driver’s seat. I’m not sure whether to call the owner of this monstrosity a true visionary or just plain crazy but regardless, this EVO looked perfectly altered down to the tweed-wrapped dual side mirrors. The show-stopper at this year’s event was none other than a vehicle dubbed the “Mad Max Evo X”. It will be interesting to see how light we can get it,” says Aaron O’Neal, English Racing’s tuner. “Before the subframe swap, the vehicle was weighed at 2,590 pounds with an empty tank. For 2016, Magnus Motorsports aided the project by providing a rear tubular subframe to help reduce weight. It also currently holds the half-mile record for the 4B11 at 200.3 mph, and is second on the EVO half-mile record list to one of the company’s other Evo 8s. This year, the plan is to switch fueling to M5 methanol, a mechanical fuel pump, 8 injectors, a Motec M150, and a larger Precision 8385 turbocharger. The Drag X has reset the quarter-mile record to 8.59 at 172 mph. This Evo X is currently sponsored by Competition Clutch, which has allowed the ER team to push it even further. The vehicle currently owns the bragging rights for the highest-horsepower Evo X, with 1,033 wheel horsepower on E98, running 49 psi of boost supplied by a Precision Turbo snail. The car sat for a few years, and then an agreement was reached between ETS and English Racing to build the car into the fastest X in the world. In June of ’09 the Evo became the first X in the 9s with the owner of ETS piloting the car to a 9.94 elapsed time. The car started life as a 2008 model that was transformed into drag racing duty by ETS right away. Just a few feet away stood the world’s fastest and quickest Evo X, built in-house by English Racing. The team expects to debut this newly-updated vehicle in the near future. Additional specs include a tube-frame front end, Graf Autohaus 5-speed dogbox, Competition Clutch triple disc clutch kit, and a Ron Piercy-fabricated 10-point chromoly rollcage. To quench the thirst of this methanol-fed beast, the Evo is engineered with a set of eight Fuel Injector Clinic 2,150cc injectors. A custom designed ETS turbo kit with T4 twin scroll 1.28 housing and PTE 7285 Gen 2 turbo is mated to a ETS 6-inch intercooler, which subsequently force-feeds a Magnus V5 intake manifold. Engine specs include a solid fill ER 2.0-liter engine with Wiseco 11.0:1-compression pistons, GRP aluminum rods, GSC S3 camshafts, Kiggly valve springs, and an ER race ported cylinder head.
