INCREASED OIL FLOW EFFICIENCY - Oil pickups are a common failure point in the FA20D engines, especially when pushing your car to its limits. The factory pickup can lead to severe engine damage or catastrophic failure due to the screen dislodging under high oil pressure, allowing debris and even fragments of the screen itself to enter the engine. The OEM design is notorious for restricting oil flow, potentially causing oil starvation. Our pickup is designed to solve these issues. With an enhanced design that improves oil flow and durability, it offers a dependable solution to the common problems associated with OEM oil pickups.
PERFORMS UNDER PRESSURE - The OEM strainer screens are the weak link. The tack-welds that hold the screen in place block part of the screen, obstructing oil flow, while the heat from sloppy welding on the screen's surface causes it to become brittle & prone to break. Our design addresses these issues by adding robust mesh screen that is pressure fitted between a 2-piece housing cast from premium quality 304 stainless steel. Additionally, we've eliminated the retaining ring, which increases the surface area by nearly 32% over the OEM version. Whether your FA20D engine is modified or not, ours is built to stand strong against the pressure of the most demanding driving conditions.
INCREASED OIL FLOW EFFICIENCY - The IAG Performance Oil Pickup is designed to enhance oil flow efficiency in your Subaru's engine, featuring a larger inner diameter oil pickup tube that significantly boosts oil flow capacity compared to the OEM version. The pickup tube's thicker walls provide increased strength and durability over the factory design. Unlike the OEM Subaru oil pickup, which has a restrictive 45-degree bend, IAG's design includes only a slight bend, ensuring unrestricted oil flow. Additionally, the rearward position of the pickup tube inside the oil pan provides more direct access to oil, optimizing flow to the engine and improving overall performance.
