We can make this really simple. If you live on the east coast and/or own a 2008+Impreza/WRX/STI/Legacy and have more than 40,000 miles on your car, you need this part. OEM Bushings Will Fail... Ok being serious now, there are many reasons to want this part. They fail, they are super soft, negativel...

We last left you with the dyno graphs from the stock 2015 STI and WRX. We showed how the 2015 STI spools slower than the 2008-2014 STI,yet still makes more power by about 20 Wheel HP. We were slightly concerned that Subaru may have really pushed the car with the newest ECU tune and there wouldn't be...

STI Dyno Session Pretty much every tuner in the world thinks the 2015 STI is the same old boring EJ25 engine and that it's going to tune the same and make the same power. Well I hate to say it, but they're all wrong (as was I)! Our initial dynoing of the 2015 STI showed something very interesting. I...

Updated from July 2010 post with new pics and new data! When Subaru released the Version 8 STI in Japan we noticed how they moved to a twin scroll turbo and equal length exhaust manifold. This is what inspired us to make our first header for the WRX/STI! Would taking the equal length design of this ...

We are always looking to push the limits of the cars we build parts for. We have made huge power with the STI's, WRX's, EVO's and then with the BRZ using a Vortech SC kit. In all these situations the cars are boosted in one form or another, which makes it really easy to make more power. Now we want ...

By far the most popular setup for the BRZ and FR-S is a header back exhaust system. This consists of a 2.5" overpipe, 2.5" front pipe with cat, and a 2.5" exhaust system, and sometimes an intake system. Its been very well proven that these parts add a decent amount of HP to the car as well as some c...

From the very beginning, we were big on making sure people knew that our BRZ/FR-S cold air intakes were safe, wouldn't throw check engine lights, and/or need a tune. These were very important items to hit on as there are many myths surrounding Cold Air Intakes. Some of these myths are, intakes cause...

We spent a long time designing and testing our BRZ intake system to ensure that when our customers recieve the part, it will make the HP we claim, not cause any drivability issues, and be easy to install. After seeing many intakes with bogging issues, drivability issues, and poor MAF sensor placemen...

It may be obvious to some that you want to keep your oil cool under heavy load and extreme conditions. This keeps your oil from becoming too thin, or breaking down,which makes it less effective and could lead to premature engine wear or even engine failures! Another reason to keep your oil temps dow...

In the first installment of The Vortech Supercharger kit blog post, we covered the basics on the kit, but left you hanging with an initial tune that showed great potential for horsepower. Vortech has put the finishing touches on the kit and we have solidified the final tune! In this installment, I ...

This is going to be a running blog page setup to show off the new Vortech Supercharger Kit for the BRZ and FR-S. We were one of the lucky few to get our hands on this kit to do some final fit and finish testing and of course dynoing! You can also discuss this HERE on FT86Club. Most people first caug...

This was the first time we had tested our headers on the dyno. Based on the things we know about the car and some of its variables, we knew it would be key to do this all on the same day as all the other parts. This ensures that the HP gains we saw were legit. After seeing some peoples dyno results ...
