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 ...

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...

In our world, intakes are not all created equal. Intakes generally require an ECU retune to compensate for the change in airflow readings. This is because intake manufacturers can use a variety of different style MAF flanges, tubing sizes, and even bends before and after the MAF sensor can all creat...

Cold Air Intake System Design and Testing
Our intake system started out simple using a combination of silicon steel and some other sheet metal parts. In dealing with other cars with MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors we knew it was important to keep diameters and orientation of the sensor similar to stoc...

Everyone has an air filter on their engine (at least you should!) and this goes true for all types of things that that suck in air constantly. Yes even you have a filter; your nose has them built into it as does your air passageway. But we are talking about your car here which sucks in way more ai...

PERRIN EVO 9 Intake Test and Tune
We have been selling our EVO intakes for quite some time now and while we have proven they do not screw up the MAF readings we never did dyno test it. In the past we had to go to someone elses dyno to test things and in the past this item wasn't on the top of o...

We left our rather boring but tuned 08 WRX much faster than it started out but it was dying to get more power. While we were the first to tune the 08 WRX using an AP (not to mention first to tune an 08 WRX period with the Hydra) it was early enough in our development that we didn't have an exhaust ...

We€™re at it again proving more ALTA PARTS! One question we always wanted to answer was €œDo the ALTA parts make more HP than the JCW parts?€. We get asked this a lot as customers are torn between parts they can get at the dealer, and aftermarket parts from us. Our selling points used to revolve...

This test was done on our 08 STI shop car. Before we get to far into the fun stuff, the STI is in our Stage 2 form. This means it has our twin cat downpipe, 3€ quad tip exhaust, and our Stage 2 AccessPORT tuning. With that said we are going to show 2 tests in this article one, the PERRIN 08 intake...
