Custom made radiator for Air to water IC setup. This core mounts to the front of a WRX and was custom made. It has a huge cooling area and is perfect for someone doing an Air to water setup. Can be used as an oil cooler as well but its very large. It would be over kill for a street car. Would also work as an Auto trans cooler perfectly. $60

The Crower cams are out! These cams fit EJ heads and are drop ins for US castings. Will also fit JDM heads but you will lose AVCS. These cams are made from new billets. NOT regrinds. Crower makes quality and these cams show that when held in your hand. Recomended is the Titanium Retainer kit and spring kit as noted on some of the cams listed on this spec page. All cams are $850 for all four which makes them a great value. Most people will choose the Stg2 or stg3 cams. SStg4 has a pretty rough idle about like JUN 272's. There is no longer an excuse to use crappy stock cams when building your motor up. Let her rev!

Perrin Fuel rails. Tons in stock. Ready to ship. We have a stock of WRX in black and silver for STI versions. Same price for both.
$350 shipped
I have been running fuel rails on my personal WRX for 2 years now. It solved problems for me back then and they are still offer a big advantage today. The stock rails run an inline configuration which dead ends. Fine for stock power cars but not the best when power is the goal.
Since I tune EFI and have tuned over 350 WRX's to date I have the experience to tell you that the power stops when that one cyl starts to det. Since we dont have the option of individual cyl fuel and timing adjustments with the low cost EFI solutions for the EJ motor, anything we can do to raise that detonation threashold will make and add safety.
I have tested cars with and without rails with multiple EGT probes. I learned what Subaru already knew. #4 cyl flows more air. This is why JDM STI engines came with a different spark plug in #4. This problem was solved with the V8 intake manifold. The older two piece V7 style manifolds had air flow issues which caused more air to hit #4.
Another added benifit of the Perrin fuel rail kit is an increase in total fuel flow. Its typical to see a car enrich a full AFR point with the addition of this fuel rail kit. My own car increased over a full point. Because of this you need some form of engine management to reduce injector pulse widths back to the correct AFR for your application.
What you end up with is a big margin of safety in the form of reduce injector duty cycles, equal fuel flow to all cyls and not to mention they look cool. Its my opinion that anyone building a car that needs larger fuel injectors needs fuel rails. At this price its a no brainer.

Tons of Walbro GS342 fuel pumps in stock. Direct drop in for WRX and STI.
The stock fuel pump in the 02-04 WRX is barely enough for a stock car. I have monitored fuel pressure on lightly modified stock cars and found the pump to be the first real limitation. Here is why:
Stock fuel pumps can produce about 55 psi max in most cases. Since the WRX and STI both use a Rising rate fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure increases with boost pressure. Base fuel pressure on both cars is 43 psi static at idle. The FPR raises fuel pressure in a 1 to 1 ratio. This means for every lb of boost you add you gain 1 lb in fuel pressure. The reason fuel pressure increases is not so much to provide more fuel on boost but rather to combat the pressure the injector tip sees in the intake manifold. let me explain:
The injector is being fed with 43 psi of fuel pressure and fuel sprays out into the intake tract at 43 psi. If you add boost of say 10 psi you now have 10 psi of pressure forcing fuel back into the injector. The injector is now fighting the boost pressure to inject fuel. This is differential pressure across the tip of the injector. The overall actual pressure is really 33 psi now. Since we have a rising rate fuel pressure regulator we gained 10 psi in fuel pressure as we created that 10 psi of boost pressure. The injector sees 53 psi of fuel pressure now due to the rise. Since the injector tip sees the 10 psi of boost we have an actual pressure of 43 psi.. In other words the pressure stays the same due to the increase in fuel pressure by the FPR.
Why do I need a fuel pump upgrade? Some of you have done simple math based on stock pump fuel flow and that math has told you that your stock pump is fine. Its not so much the flow that you need in many cases. Its the inability of the stock fuel pump to run at high pressures. I have documented stock fuel pumps topping out between 55-58 psi. This is because the stock pump has an internal bypass valve at that pressure. Lets do some math:
43 psi static fuel pressure + 13.5 psi of boost (factory boost setting) = 56.5 psi. This means a stock car is just about maxing the factory fuel pump as far as pressure is concerned. Most stg1 and stg2 type cars run 15-16 psi. Can your stock pump produce 59 psi? Do you feel lucky?
Why do people get away with running stock fuel pumps if this is true? Because the power level of these cars is low enough in most cases to not max out the injector. WRX's come with a rich AFR to begin with and we have some added headroom which makes running the stock pump possible. I like to install pumps on stg2 cars and past. The reason is that you gain alot of headroom in the fuel system. This is a nice thing to have when you consider changing loads from fuel level, cargo, pass weight and outside weather conditions. A setup on the edge could work perfectly all summer. Winter comes along and you decide to pack in 5 people and you might be well over that safety margin.
The walbro pumps are a georotor design and have been around for a while. The 342 unit does not have a bypass regulator. I have ran them up to 65-70 psi of fuel pressure. Which means they work well on most setups up to 20-25 psi. If you have over sized injectors you can get away with more... I have a 342 in my personal car and its seen 30psi over and over and over. Bottom line.. More pressure, more safety, more fuel flow.

Agency power SS braided clutch line. This is a high quality Stainless steel braided clutch line with anti shaffing cover. Adding SS lines to your hydralic system reduces the flex and expansion in the factory rubber lines. I added one to my car and was suprised at the results. The pedal pressure was lighter and the take up was a bit more abrupt. Great for launching at the drag strip. If you are doing a clutch upgrade you might as well complete the job with one of these SS lines and a fluid flush.
$33.99

Next up is the new B&B JDM style Catback exhaust for the WRX and STI. These systems are full T304 Stainless steel in construction. Made in the US in Arizona but with JDM style. The quality of these systems needs to be seen to be believed. If you are tired of cheaply made exhausts with thin pipes and no engineering then you will really like this system. The flange bolts up to stock and aftermarket Downpipes including the perrin and B&B for example. The muffler section joins with a slipfit system to ensure its going to fit your car perfectly with no leaks. The muffler is 6 inches round overall and has a 4.5 inch tip. The muffler can is mounted at a slight angle like most JDM systems. The noise level is moderate. Very livable and very deep sounding. Its a system you can live with. This system made 12whp on a stock car on the dyno. The entire turboback system made 20whp.
Applications:
2002-2004 WRX
2004-2005 STI
2004-2005 Forester XT (new)
Price is $675 for the complete cat back system.

Intercooler temp gauge. These gauges where in high demand. I sourced them and have 20 instock. These gauges include two Temp probes and fittings and the electronic meter. You install one probe after the turbo outlet pipe and one probe before the throttle body. There is a three position switch. A position for before the intercooler and after. The middle position shows the difference in temp between the probes. Very usefull on finding the best and most effiecient boost setting on your car in the ambient temps you are in. You will also noticed trends in temp rises with TMIC's while at lights ect. I love mine. As I push boost higher and higher I found that past a certain amount of boost air temp out of the turbo shot through the roof.
$250 each blow out price

Brand new VF30 turbo $599 plus ship. Customer ordered and backed out. Turbo sitting on shelf ready to ship.
More products uploaded all the time. Check back. If you have questions, post, PM, email or Call me at the shop. 602-795-3036. Advice is always free. Glad to help.
