“Well, it’s paid off, so I should keep it forever now, right?” But far too often the error never gets fixed, because people don’t do the math for themselves. It is always nice to hear people asking this question, because it means one of the biggest financial mistakes in the lives of most people – a ridiculous vehicle choice – is up for reconsideration. What should I do – suck it up and live with my past choices, or fix it? But it’s paid off, and I’m not sure if I should go through the expense and/or hassle of switching vehicles. But I’m still stuck with the relics of my un-Mustachian past, like my trusty (Full-sized 4×4 Pickup truck with V8 engine, Toyota 4Runner SUV, Land Rover LR2 Fake Executive Luxury Truck, etc).
#06 WRX KILLER BEE OIL PICKUP INSTALL HOW TO FREE#
If anyone has questions or would like to place an order, please feel free to contact us.I’ve only recently discovered your blog, and I have decided to change my ways for the better. The units have been pressure tested to 150psi over the face of the screen without issue. The material is 4130 Alloy Steel to further provide an increase in strength over the brazed stamped steel OEM version. TIG welding throughout assures proper weld penetration and quality. Our screen is lightly pressed and welded into place assuring the wire does not gets stresses or heat damages. The screen area has been increased over 31% which reduces the restriction and stress on the screen. Although, we use a higher strength screen material. Like our EJ engine Ultimate Oil Pickup this one too uses a screen to match the OEM spec opening size of the mesh.
The angle of the tube points it directly at the inlet into the block. The ID of the tube has been increased, and so has the thickness. No bend means no restriction, and even better coming from the OEM tube because it uses a more restrictive pinch bend. The obvious big change is the tube has no bend. A means for improving performance was taken advantage of during the design process as well. Of course, our own spin of improvements, besides the obvious had to be made to assure set it and forget reliability that comes with our products. We pushed on the screen of new OEM pickups and several popped wire strands, without a lot of effort.īeing known for making the best Subaru Performance Oiling Products money can buy, addressing this was right up our alley. The other is that the spot weld process embrittles the screen. One is that the screen is creased where the retaining ring is crimped over it. There are a couple of flaws with this process. The OEM pickup screen is crimped in a retainer and that assembly is spot welded into the pickup ‘can’. At the time of failure, I had assumed this was just the kind of luck I had, but after hearing that other shops had similar experiences, we dug deeper. The OEM part had not prevented metal bits and chunks from entering the engine. Why had the oil pump filled with debris? The OEM pickup screen had failed. I’m sure you can imagine the consequences of instant oil pressure loss. As you can see, debris went into th engine and made its way into the oil pump. The engine had blown, but the violence was significantly more than just the bent rod we had hoped for. I came across this many months ago, during turbo kit testing on our shop 2015 WRX. Like many of our other products, this is a solution to a problem.
