DBA One Size Fits All For Subaru Impreza STIs!

Over the past 12 months Disc Brake Australia (DBA) have been successful in testing the introduction of a 10 stud hole pattern disc brake rotor to suit the Subaru WRX STi range of models combining two sets of PCD’s together on the one disc: 2002-2004 – disc rotor stud hole PCD (pitch circle diameter) = 100 mm 2005-2009 – disc rotor stud hole PCD (pitch circle diameter) = 114.3 mm

DBA have now combined both PCD patterns into one disc rotor.

*The benefits:*
* Universal fitting
* Eliminates variations in part numbers
* Reduced stock levels

One part fits all.

All other rotor dimensions remain the same.

Skunk2’s Pro Series Cam Gears for Honda’s B-series engines are now available in an exclusive Black Series finish.

An engine’s camshafts must be set at their proper positions relative to the crankshaft in order to maximize horsepower. Pro Series Cam Gears enable serious tuners to optimize horsepower and torque by being able to adjust camshaft timing, allowing them to tailor the power curve appropriately. Thanks to laser-etched timing and directional marks, precise camshaft adjustments can be made quickly and easily. Pro Series Cam Gears feature precision-machined, hard-anodized teeth to reduce premature wear with a signature, six-bolt design that eliminates gear slipping. Skunk2’s lightweight design and CNC-machined, 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction reduces rotational inertia, resulting in increased engine response and acceleration. Skunk2’s adjustable cam gears have also been proven on race cars in the most extreme conditions for more than a decade.

K&N Cold Air Intake For Turbo Soltice & Sky!

The Pontiac Solstice upon its release has boasted impressive styling, highly respectable performance, and excellent control, all for an economical budget. This model was Pontiac’s first design of a two-seater roadster and with its formidable ingredients of a powerful front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a fully independent suspension, 18 inch wheels and a near perfect weight distribution. This vehicle has certainly gained drivers’ attention. The Pontiac Solstice 2.0L Turbo adds to this repertoire of performance features by increasing acceleration and power, turning this economical compact into a top-down road-ripping machine.

K&N has released a newly engineered Typhoon Air Intake System (69-8433TTK) for the 2008 Pontiac Solstice 2.0L Turbo to boost its already impressive performance. This cold air intake also fits the 2008 Saturn Sky with 2.0 liter engine. This intake has a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube with a black powder coated finish. This K&N intake systems replace your vehicle’s restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing, replacing it with a precisely designed intake and filter assembly (RP-5182) for outstanding performance and a great horsepower gain. As in all K&N intakes, the new 69-8433TTK is designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction resulting in additional power and torque.

The 69-8433TK system redirects the intake filter to deep along the passenger side of the engine compartment allowing it to draw in cooler air for better performance. By isolating the filter, fresher, outside air can enter your air filter resulting in more power.

K&N air intake 69-8433TTK is specially designed to increase horsepower in the 2008 Pontiac Solstice and the 2008 Saturn Sky with 2.0 liter engines while providing outstanding engine protection. Dyno testing for the Pontiac Solstice revealed an additional gain of 10.98 HP @ 4900 RPM.

Installing a power gaining air intake system on your Pontiac Solstice is much easier than many would think. A typical installation takes less than 90 minutes and requires common hand tools, and K&N provides detailed installation instructions which make adding more horsepower quick and simple.

Skunk2 New Pro S II Coilovers!

Skunk2’s completely redesigned, fully adjustable Pro-S II Coilovers have arrived. Similar to Skunk2’s industry-leading Pro-C Coilovers, Pro-S II Coilovers now feature double-adjustable ride height and a state-of-the-art mono-tube design. Thanks to threaded shock bodies, Pro-S II Coilovers now offer height adjustments independent of spring preload, which results in ride-height changes as low as three inches without sacrificing shock travel or ride comfort. Quick and precise ride-height adjustments can now be made for dialing in corner balancing as well as for improved handling, responsiveness, and overall balance. Skunk2’s track- and street-tested Pro-S II shock valving offers the perfect balance between daily driving and track performance and its all-new, shortened shock bodies and reduced shaft strokes help maintain adequate suspension travel on lowered vehicles for improved performance without sacrificing comfort.

Pro-S II Coilovers feature vehicle-specific valving dialed in by Skunk2’s suspension engineers, carefully selected springs designed to dramatically improve handling, and a race-inspired, mono-tube design for superior performance. Skunk2’s micro-polished, mono-tube design, combined with its precision-machined, oversized shafts and pistons, ensure that each Pro-S II Coilover is both responsive and durable. The results are unmatched cornering grip, reduced body roll, and a feel of vehicle control and stability like no other.

Like all Skunk2 Coilovers, its Pro-S II Coilovers feature hard-anodized, CNC-machined, forged 6061-T6 aluminum spring perches and CNC-wound racing springs manufactured from high-quality, SAE9254V spring steel. Each spring is designed to optimize the balance between comfort and performance and is custom-matched to their respective shocks. Pro-S II Coilovers offer ride-height adjustments as low as three inches for an aggressive and sporty appearance.

Just like the entire Pro Series lineup, Pro-S II Coilovers set the benchmark for suspension performance. Similar to how Skunk2’s Pro Series Camshafts and Valvetrain revolutionized Honda engine performance, its fully adjustable, Pro-S II Coilovers do just that for enthusiasts who are looking for high-performance suspension components at an affordable price. Based on more than 15 years of racing and suspension tuning experience, Pro-S II Coilovers feature the same technology Skunk2 uses on its own championship-winning road racing and drag racing cars.

Like all Skunk2 products, Pro-S II Coilovers feature a one-year warranty and are designed to provide years of enjoyment for the life of your vehicle. Never wait for a coilover rebuild again; Skunk2 stocks large quantities of replacement dampers that, in most cases, cost less than a typical coilover rebuild. Purchase your replacement dampers directly from Skunk2 to minimize downtime.

Omni Power 3, 4 & 7 BAR MAP Sensor For STis!

Omni Power USA 3, 4 & 7 Bar MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensors use state of the art bipolar op amp circuitry with thin film resistor networks built into each micro chip. Pressure changes are calculated on a true linear 0-5 volt scale via a specially designed silicon pressure sensor that also compensates for temperature changes. The unique ability to compensate for temperature changes allows the Omni Power USA 4 Bar MAP sensor to remain a minimum of 99% accurate from 32 degrees F to 180 degrees F through out its range of scale. With the true linear pressure vs. voltage scale there is never a need to re-tune at different altitudes as with other sensors. Competitors sensors on the market don’t have true linear scaling which can cause your engine to go out of tune with elevation changes, often resulting in idle problems, poor drivability, and catastrophic engine damage. Omni Power 4 bar MAP sensors can precisely calculate boost pressure from 1-43+ psi (7 bar 1-80+ psi,) while still allowing smooth stock OEM drivability at any boost level. Conveniently packaged in an OEM dimensional housing for easy install and an OEM look.

Key features:
•Cases are designed to withstand in excess of 130 PSI without leaking
•-40 to 260 degrees Fahrenheit temperature operating range
•Able to respond from 10% of the pressure scale to 90% of the pressure scale in .001 seconds (the fastest response time of any MAP sensor on the market).
•Automatic temperature compensation.
•True linear scaling for perfect drivability at all boost and vacuum levels.
•Compatible with all aftermarket engine management systems.
•Minimum of 99% accurate over full scale range under all conditions including temperature, altitude, and humidity changes.
•Allows smoother engine operation, higher boost levels, and better drivability than competitors turbo MAP sensors.
•Direct plug and play for an easy install and an OEM look.
•Dimensionally identical to the stock MAP sensor.
•Each sensor is hand assembled, pressure, and function checked in the USA for unparalleled quality control prior to shipping.
