IAG Performance

Stage 2 CNC Ported EJ25 11mm Oil Pump for ’04–’21 STI, ’02–’14 WRX, ‘05–’12 LGT, ‘04–’13 FXT 

Each IAG Stage 2 oil pump starts life as an OEM spec 11mm oil pump, straight from Subaru. IAG completely disassembles the new oil pump including pulling the rotors, backing plate and pressure-relief valve. Next, the main body is fixtured in our in-house 5-Axis Centroid CNC machine where the inlet and outlet passageways are CNC ported. This allows for a larger, more consistent pathway for the oil into and out of the gerotor internals and helps to prevent cavitation. The oil pump outlet where it meets the engine block is also CNC “port matched” for a perfect transition into the engine block. The inlet and outlet sides of the gerotor are also opened up on the CNC mill to reduce inlet side cavitation and outlet side pressure drops. The pressure-relief valve piston is REM polished, which provides a non-directional, low Ra, polished finish. This reduces friction, heat and possibility of the relief valve piston galling and sticking—a common failure point on the OEM pumps. The piston is reinstalled and confirmed to operate correctly. The rotors are measured and checked to be within the manufacturer's specification—aka blueprinted, and installed next. The pump is then put together with a light coating of assembly lube to reduce friction and scuffing and aid in priming on first start up. Finally, the backing plate is installed. Loctite is added to the hardware, and each piece receives a painted mark after it is correctly torqued. The pump ships ready to install, with all hardware and seals required for installation.

Features:

• Intended for stock engines or stage 1 IAG engines.
• Shimmed and REM polished pressure-relief valve to increase oil pressure.
• Blueprinted and assembled, ships ready to install.
• 11mm oil pump rotors.
• CNC ported to maximize flow and pressure.

The conflict in Ukraine has dominated headlines over the last week, leading to volatility in the commodity and equity markets. The direct impact on the U.S. market is limited, but geopolitical concerns create uncertainty that could impact growth.

According to the most recent “SEMA Industry Indicators” report, the spread of the virus is slowing rapidly and economic activity such as air travel and dining is coming back quickly.

The government plays a critical role in any industry. Businesses are impacted by subsidies, taxes and regulations. Elected officials often determine future laws. The wheel and tire industry is not immune to the impact of government.

From tax credits for small businesses to laws that impact the way wheel and tire products are made, distributed and marketed, and even the impact of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) overreach, the wheel and tire industry is impacted by government actions. The current RPM Act is a perfect reason for you to understand how this affects the wheel and tire industry.  

SEMA Wheel & Tire Council (WTC) members are invited to learn how they can work with elected officials to help their businesses, and why it’s important to fight for the passage of the RPM Act now during a live webinar, March 17, at 12:00 p.m. (PDT).  

Dan Ingber, SEMA vice president of SEMA government and legal affairs, and John Hotchkis, president at Hotchkis Performance and SEMA Political Action Committee (PAC) chair, will explain:  

• What the SEMA PAC is.
• How the SEMA PAC helps to ensure that elected officials support our industry.
• What the new SEMA Individual Membership is, and how it helps defend your automotive rights.
• The importance of bills such as the RPM Act, and why it matters to wheel and tire companies.

While you’re busy managing your business, SEMA’s government affairs office in Washington, D.C., is advocating to protect the industry and your business. This webinar will guide you on state and federal regulations, and the opportunity to make your voice heard on relevant issues that may affect your business.

Held regularly at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the HRIA Builders Panel Education Session took place in 2021, both entertaining and educating attendees about how to thrive as a hot-rod builder. As with all 2021 SEMA Show seminars, a recording of the seminar “Hot Rod Builders Drive the Vintage Segment, Powered by HRIA” is now available at www.semashow.com/education.

The HRIA Builders Panel Education Session that took place at the 2021 SEMA Show both entertained and educated attendees about how to thrive as a hot-rod builder.

The one-hour program features SEMA Hall of Fame member Rick Love as moderator, with an impressive lineup of award-winning builders: Bobby Alloway, Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop; Jonathan Goolsby, Goolsby Customs; Tim Strange, Strange Motion; Will Posey, Big Oak Garage; and Brian Brennan, author, In the Garage Media.

Viewers will hear the panel’s best-kept secrets and advice for running a successful hot-rod business, what they wish they would have known at the beginning of their careers and how they built a successful brand over the years.

“It’s the people in the industry, and that’s what you have to connect with,” says Brennan. “As a builder or a shop owner, you have to be able to connect with that person [your client]. Some are nice, some are not so nice, but you have to decide ‘what can I work with and what I can’t’ because if you’re not true to yourself or your brand, you’re going to screw up big time. Hone those communication skills you have.”  

Pros and cons of taking a build to car shows, finding and keeping quality employees and utilizing renderings when project planning was also discussed.

The seminar recording is one of many available at www.semashow.com/education. New recordings are added weekly. Other recently added seminars include:

• “DSP Fundamentals: Leverage the Power of DSP to Deliver Great-Sounding Car Audio Systems”
• “Black Ink: Cashflow Management Secrets Your Accountant Never Shared”
• “EV and the Accessorization Game, Powered by PRO”
• “Synthetic Fuels: Paving the Way for the Future of ICEs? Powered by ETTN”
