Stage 1:
The oil pump is quite literally the heart of any engine. Responsible for pumping the oil through the entire engine, it is one of the most critical parts, but often one of the most overlooked.
Subaru EJ25 oil pumps should always be inspected before installation on any engine build. Over the years our experience shows that the OEM oil pumps are inconsistently assembled by the manufacturer. It is very common to find incorrectly torqued hardware and, at times, rotor tolerances that are not within specification. IAG now offers a Stage 1 Oil Pump that has the rotor tolerances, hardware, and pressure relief valve inspected. Each pump is also modified to increase oil pressure which aids in ensuring proper oil delivery. The pump is then assembled by our trained staff, providing you with a product which is ready to install, right out of the box.
Each Stage 1 pump starts as a new OEM Subaru oil pump with 11mm rotors. The pump is completely disassembled and checked for contaminants or debris from the manufacturer. The pump is then ultrasonically cleaned.
During the modification process the OEM Pressure Relief Valve Piston is REM polished, providing a low Ra surface, which reduces the friction of the component, and greatly reduces the chance of the piston galling or sticking in the bore - a problem that is frequently seen even on brand new oil 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.
Stage 2:
The Stage 2 Oil pump is a cost effective solution that outperforms the market standards. This pump has been extensively tested on street cars, track cars, and on our in-house Spintron to ensure consistent and repeatable performance.
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.
