Super Pro Engine Pitch Mount for 02-07 WRX & 04-07 STI

Posted on by

A very popular modification for Subaru WRX and STI owners is improving the engine/transmission rigidity by changing motor mounts, transmission mount, and the engine pitch mount( also known as an engine pitch stop or dog bone).

One of the most readily available upgrades is the Subaru Group N pieces. A few Subaru dealerships even stock these pieces.

I’m trying one mod at a time, starting with the Group N motor mounts. These mounts definitely increase NVH( Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). That lumpy boxer idle is even more pronounced at idle. To me, it’s not a big deal- I kinda like it!

I then tried out the Group N pitch mount, and although the rubber bushings are harder in durometer over the OE piece, I wasn’t so thrilled about the OE-like plastic arm stamped STi- I always thought it was a reinforced(still plastic) piece. Oh well. I’m no engineer. So if it works, it works. Initial impressions- same amount of NVH, as far as I can tell. No real change in driving feel.

Anyways, in conjunction with some other mods I have on my car, especially that massive APS Top Mount Intercooler which makes underhood clearances as tight as it possibly can be, I noticed under hard acceleration that quick shifting causes the intercooler y-pipe to hit the firewall bracket supporting the pitch arm, slightly. Not a very comforting sound.

Removal of the Intercooler is necessary to access the Pitch Mount. 2 bolts and 3 hose clamps need to be removed, as well as a few hoses from the breather assembly.

Just recently, I got my hands on Super Pro’s Aluminum/Polyurethane engine pitch stop(p/n SPF3205). Nicely finished in a blue anodize(which will sadly go unnoticed thanks to my Intercooler), this piece looks more like a con-rod. The poly bushings are also a nice snug fit into the firewall bracket and motor bracket.  Easy enough to install, save for the shoehorned intercooler as an obstruction, it’s just two bolts to loosen/tighten.  Total time with a standard intercooler should be no more than 20 minutes. For you front-mount intercooler owners, even quicker.

With the intercooler removed, the pitch mount is clearly visible.

Initial impressions- not much NVH than the Group N pitch mount, and definitely no contact with the y-pipe and firewall bracket under quick shifts, as mentioned earlier. Great! Goes to show that some small changes can make a difference.

Comparison of the Super Pro and STi pitch arm

The Super Pro mount is a snug fit. A little grease helps fit it into its bracket.

Installed.

In retrospect, starting with this piece  would’ve been a better start. I’m only guessing that this piece would’ve reduced the chances of the y-pipe interfering with the firewall bracket from the beginning. Next install is the Group N transmission mount. A bit more NVH to deal with…. yay.

Enjoy!

SuperPro Roll Center Adjusters

Posted on by

TEIN is the exclusive distributor for Australian made SuperPro brand of polyurethane bushings. We recently got some SuperPro roll center adjusters in stock. One of the guys here with a new EVO X decided he wanted a set so I took pictures of his install. Since the front lower control arms needed to come off this was the best time to also upgrade the front arm bushing as well.

Here is a picture of all the new parts.

SuperPro RCA for EVO 8/9/10, Part # SPF-FPR-004

SuperPro Polyurethane Bushing for front lower control arm – front inner, Part # SPF2418K

Remove ball joint to hub bolt, disconnect swaybar link and two bolts securing the inner points of the lower control arm.

Pop the dust boot off and remove the C-Clip. An extra set of hands makes things easier.

Easiest and safest to use a hydraulic press to remove the OEM ball joint. Other option is a rent or buy a ball joint tool kit. Note that on the underside of the arm a small ring of aluminum may break off or stretch when the ball joint is pressed out – this is normal.

OEM ball joint removed. Cleanup any heavy scratches to the arm (there should not be any if the press was used properly).

Here you can see the OEM ball joint next to the new SuperPro unit. The SuperPro unit has a taller base instead of a taller shaft like other manufacturers. This makes it more rigid.

Press in the new RCA. Make sure the RCA sits all the way in which will make the groove for the C-Clip flush with the top of the arm.

Install the C-Clip.

Pressing out the front inner bushing. Takes a little creative positioning to get everything to line up perfectly.

Cleanup the arm from any scratches and install the new SuperPro bushings. Use plenty of grease and insert the two bushings first. Then grease the pin and use a vice or press to push it in.

Arm installed. You can clearly see the height difference. Make sure to torque all bolts to factory settings.

This bolt should be tightened and torqued while the car is at 1G so that the bushing’s natural position is at ride height and not full suspension droop.

You will notice that the SuperPro kit does not include new taller tie rod ends. According to SuperPro engineers new tie rod ends are not needed but due to high consumer demand SuperPro will be including new tie rod ends in the near future.

Lastly have an alignment done as both camber and toe will have changed.

*JUST RELEASED* DEFI Advance BF

Posted on by

TEIN USA is the exclusive North America Distributor for the DEFI brand of products. We just received our first shipment of the new DEFI Advance BF line of gauges. These units replace the current Link BF line which has already stopped production.



The Advance BF meters still feature the blacked out lens and come in 60mm Metric readout. Available colors now include blue alongside the popular amber and white. Advance BF feature more LEDs for a brighter and more vibrant display which make them easier to see in daylight. The lens is now flat which improves the visibility at any angle, and DEFI has increased the number of increment markings (ticks). Other features include warning set, peak hold, record, playback, dimmer, and audio-able warning.

The new advance series replaces the popular Link BF series. The new Advance series features a wired remote for the control unit, more durable plugs and a host of features.

DEFI’s Advance series is the evolution of the Link Series. They will be releasing new compatible products in the near future which will now be available for use with the Advance  series control unit. If your looking to purchase a set of accurate and reliable gauges to protect the investments made into your power-train, you should definitely consider the DEFI Advance series.

If a blacked out face is not what your looking for. The Advance CR series is also available in 52mm and 60mm Metric readouts which are available in traditional white or black face.

Visit DEFI’s US webpage for more details. Defi products can be purchased through any TEIN Authorized Dealer. You can find a link of all dealers HERE.

DEFI Advance CR Install with Modified magazine

Posted on by

We just finished up the installation of the new DEFI Advance CR into Modified magazine’s project EVO X. Chief editor, Peter Tarach, picked the 60mm black face meters which match well with the EVO X’s OEM cluster. He also decided to add the visors to the 3 gauges sitting atop the dash to aid in blocking glare. Billet ALFiT water and oil sensor adapters were used to complete the install. Pickup Modified magazine to see the progress on this EVO X build.

The new Advance CR meters feature: a wired remote control, ability to switch illumination colors, electric sensors, stepping motors, daisy chain technology, and much more. Available in 52mm and 60mm in black or white face. You can learn more about the new DEFI Advance CR meters HERE.

DEFI Advance CR meters and accessories are available now through any Authorized TEIN Dealer, click here for a list of dealers in your area.
