The Stage 2 Oil pump is a cost effective solution that outperforms the market standards. The IAG Stage 2 CNC Ported 11mm oil pumps have shown through lab testing on a Spintron Machine that it will outperform a JDM 12mm.
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 & 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 to reduce 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.
This pump is the highest performance and it will outperform a JDM 12mm.These fit all EJ20 and EJ25 motors, which means 2002-2014 WRX, 2004-2021 STI, 2004-2012 Forester XT, and 2005-2009 Legacy GT/Outback XT.
