Often when you’ve heavily modified your Subaru BRZ/ Toyota GT86/ Scion FRS, with track worthy coil-overs, sway bars, wings, splitters, and larger braking components, the anti-lock braking system will become very inconsistent. On our track cars we would notice increased “ICE Mode” events, which feels like you’ve lost your brake booster, resulting in an extremely hard brake pedal with extremely low deceleration. The other issue is that the “Brake Force Distribution” is too slow to react to an advanced driver who could get some front brake lock up before the ABS computer had forced more braking power to the rear brakes. When the ABS system goes into a “Failsafe” the car is nearly impossible to stop safely at track speeds.

Now that's a Honda CRV I would rock! 😍 Totally reminds me of the Pikes Peak Suzuki Escudo from Sony's Grand Turismo

This rally Toyota GR86 with AWD is pretty awesome despite not having a Subaru engine. That engine looks was forward in the chassis however. What do you guys think?

Does the naturally aspirated EJ25 vs turbo EJ25 have different rod lengths and piston deck heights? 🤔 The answer for the latest generation EJ253 SOHC VVT used in the 2010 Subaru models is no!

The myth is that all NA EJs have shorter rods and higher piston deck heights but I'm here to set the record straight. The EJ251 definitely has different specifications and I believe the EJ252 is the same but maybe someone can confirm that on the 252.

So if you have an EJ253 SOHC VVT and building a junkyard booster, then some dumpster STi rods and pistons are a direct swap 👍. That junkyard be**er happens to be my 16 year old's 2010 Forester. Can't be paying those turbocharger insurance rates! 🤣

As you can see, all rods are the exact same length but there are slight differences in the thickness of the forgings that would go unnoticed unless placed side by side. The RA comnecting rods are noticably thicker towards the piston pin. Both STi rods are slightly thicker overall but are also made of a stronger material.

From past testing the NA rods and even the 2.0 WRX rods would bend/break around 400 ft/lbs but the 2.5 STi rods could handle 500 ft/lbs with responsible tuning 😎

The new Element Tuning website is being built but the current site isdown temporarily. Since the last couple of WordPress updates the site had become impossible to secure from ads, bots, etc. The actual "store" was always secure but it's been decided that it's best we move to a better and more secure platform that isn't open source like WordPress. We'll upload a few of the most important pages over the next few days. The 15+ years of technical documents and race content will take a little longer but we'll get it all back up soon!

Have a very Merry Christmas from Element Tuning!

Pure time attack 😎 Radford Motors Type 62-2 Pikes Peak car at The SEMA Show Comment on the specs of this beast as I know very little about it.

time attack build at the booth 😍 Absolutely love these retro-mod race builds.

One of my favorites from the show 😍 Twin turbo, widebody, that won't take very long to hit 88 MPH 🤣

Love some big valve heads for your Subaru 😎 Huge gains for both the WRX/STi and the BRZ. We see +100 whp with cams and a GTX30R or larger turbocharger and +85 whp on the BRZ/FRS with oem cams 👍
