In a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru, the FR-S/BRZ delivers an aggressive body style coupled with a rear wheel drive platform to cater to the true sports car enthusiast. The engineers for the FR-S engineered this sporty legacy with excellent weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. When you combine Subaru's 2.0 liter flat four boxer engine and Toyota's port and direct cylinder injection which supports an incredible 12.5:1 compression ratio, the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ is no slouch off the line. Drivers from all over are clamorring to test drive the FR-S/BRZ and driveways are filling up with this performance addition, so in order to stand out from the crowd, aftermarket modifications will be in demand.

The same levels of precision engineering and product development offered in the FR-S and BRZ, can be can be found in AEM's air intake system which delivers substantial gains in horsepower and torque. AEM 41-1408DS is an Electronically Tuned Intake (ETI) system engineered specifically for 2013 to 2016 Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models with the 2.0 liter engine. The AEM intake system can be installed in around a half hour using simple hand tools.

AEM determined the engine could see performance gains with a larger diameter intake and less restriction so a larger intake duct was used in conjunction with an AEM ETI module to correct the mass air flow (MAF) signal to the electronic control unit (ECU). The ETI module allows the ECU to maintain the calibration as the factory intended it to be and eliminates a check engine light activation.

Allowing more air to the motor is important for improving power, but the air needs to be clean. AEM includes with the system a Dryflow washable and reusable air filter (part number 21-203DK) offering excellent filtration efficiency against harmful dirt particles.

The 41-1408DS ETI system also utilizes a unique closed airbox design to insulate both the air filter and the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ mass air sensor from engine heat. CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis was used extensively to ensure maximum flow into the intake air box and to provide even flow distribution around the filter in the air box. Overall the FR-S/BRZ produced an estimated 10 HP and 8.3 lbs./ft. torque @ 6500 RPM when dyno tested with the AEM intake installed.

"AEM has big plans for the company's FR-S," stated AEM Brand Manager George Hsieh. "The FR-S has a rich legacy that makes this car unique for today's drivers. With the three iterations of this model being the FR-S, the BRZ and the Japanese GT86, drivers everywhere are getting excited about this new application." Hsieh also went on to report more information about AEM's Scion FR-S. "We have been taking the company FR-S to shows like SEMA and races all over the west coast to show the great modifications that are becoming available for this vehicle from AEM and other aftermarket manufacturers." The AEM FR-S was used extensively for testing and development of the air intake AEM offers to all drivers.

AEM air intake 21-9227DS was designed for 2011 and 2012 Ram and Dodge Ram 2500 models with the 6.7 liter turbo diesel engine. The intake system uses the OEM air source to provide the coolest air possible for the engine. AEM inlet air temperature testing helped finalize a design that supplies near ambient temperature to the engine. Due to the proximity of the air intake to the turbocharger, an advanced polypropylene material with a high heat rating was utilized to keep incoming air cool. The custom airbox, of AEM air intake 21-9227DS, comes with an attached filter minder, which lets you know when the air filter requires service. The intake tube also provides for the factory MAF and IAT sensors. AEM research and development was able to produce an estimated gain of 8.5 horsepower and 19 ft lbs of torque at 2100 rpm.

AEM's Dillon Van Way Starts 2013 Rally America National Championship with a 2nd at Sno*Drift Rally

Van Way's 2nd in the 2wd Class and 9th overall gives him a good deal of momentum heading into the 2013 Rally America National Championship season.
Van Way's 2nd in the 2wd Class and 9th overall gives him a good deal of momentum heading into the 2013 Rally America National Championship season.
The first running of the legendary Sno*Drift Rally was back in 1966, to celebrate its 47th anniversary the 2013 installment included 130 miles of twisting, tree-lined, ice and snow covered roads in Northern Michigan's Montmorency County, near the towns of Atlanta and Lewiston. The annual Sno*Drift Rally kicks off the 2013 Rally America National Championship battle, and for AEM's Dillon Van Way, his second place finish in the two-wheel division and ninth overall, marks a extremely promising start to the season.

Logic would dictate that studded or spiked competition ice tires would be the way to roll here, but they are not allowed in this event. Of course if logic came to play this wouldn't be the one rally of the championship series that takes place in the most brutal part of winter and on glassy, frozen roads. However, ignoring common sense is the very reason by this rally has been so compelling for racers and fans for nearly half a century. The fleeting traction exposes holes in driving skill and confronts patience.
Dillon Van Way says his atypical approach to racing on the snow is why he's never finished out of the top-three at Sno*Drift since starting there in 2009.
Dillon Van Way says his atypical approach to racing on the snow is why he's never finished out of the top-three at Sno*Drift since starting there in 2009.


"I haven't DNF'ed or finished out of the top three at Sno*Drift since I started rallying there in 2009 and I'm not really sure why," discloses Van Way. "It doesn't make much sense that a kid from Louisiana has had any success at all racing on snow, but my theory is that it's my lack of snow driving experience that has played the largest role in my success there."

As counterintuitive as that may appear, it makes perfect sense the way Van Way explains it. He says he approaches driving on snow differently than his competitors who get to drive on it more often. "They tend to use the lack of traction and cushiony snow banks as an excuse to drive a bit more sideways, and just more aggressive in general, which sometimes can work great and other times your luck runs out. I approach snow driving much in the opposite way, where I am more cautious and more reserved, trying to avoid snow banks and drive clean racing lines. This approach isn't always good enough to win, but it capitalizes on the risks that the other guys are taking."
When he's not racing Van Way studies Architecture at LSU.

Van Way learned his healthy respect for clean racing lines and risk management from racing motorcycles. The 20-year-old Baton Rouge native learned how to ride dirt bikes from his dad when he was six. Wasn't long after that initial taste of speed that he was racing motocross with his family regularly, "The speed and thrill of winning races was so exhilarating that I constantly searched for sports and hobbies that would give me that same feeling," he says. This brings us back to how he ended up racing on ice and snow. When he's not competing Van Way attends LSU majoring in Architecture.

"Contrary to the name, Sno*Drift isn't a drift event at all. It is a performance stage rally where cars race against the clock on closed sections of public roads, called stages. Drivers are scored on their cumulative time through the stages and there are typically 12 to15 stages in an event, which add up to roughly 150 competitive miles," continues Van Way.

"My rally car is a 2011 Ford Fiesta that is capable of making upwards of 300 horsepower. It still has the same engine block that the Fiestas on the street have (1.6L) but it is turbocharged. The transmission is a sequential shift 6-speed. Like most race cars the interior is completely gutted and only the essential safety gear is inside."

Van Way says his priority for the 2013 season is definitely stage rally racing, "but I don't think I will ever be able to stop racing motorcycles," he adds. "I don't pursue it as much as I used to, but I still enjoy going racing whenever I can."

"Next up for me is the Rally in the 100 Acre Woods in Salem, Missouri on February 22nd and 23rd. This events is one of my favorites of the season because we are back to gravel and the roads are super smooth and fast."

AEM Performance Strut Bar for 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L Adds Stability

Legendary for its super sports-carlike handling and responsiveness, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X has the capability to carve through the tightest S-turns at speeds leaving some of its more expensive Italian competitors far behind. Backed with Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system which integrates the Active Center Differential (ACD), Active Yaw Control (AYC), Active Stability Control (ASC), and Sports ABS components, the all-wheel drive Lancer Evolution is in-short, capable of carrying a much faster pace through corners than many other vehicles on the road or track. To maintain those furious speeds through turns, a superior suspension and a serious strut bar is needed.

Worrying about a vehicle's chassis remaining stiff at the limit is a thought in most serious driver's minds as they test their abilities with their car. When a car is pushed hard into a turn, if unsupported, the tops of the towers can move as much as 1/8" affecting the camber setting in an unpredictable way, which in turn makes the handling of the car somewhat unpredictable. AEM has engineered a stronger bolt-on strut bar to stabilize the tops of the struts and tie the suspension together to eliminate movement of the strut towers.

The AEM strut bar, part 29-0000, is made of a large diameter, thin walled steel tube to help maximize the strength to weight ratio. In the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, the 29-0000 strut bar is easy to install because it simply bolts up using the existing mounts from the stock front strut tower bar on the firewall and the tops of the strut towers to provide excellent rigidity. AEM performance strut bars are a true racing option and a more professional alternative to many hinged or weaker strut bars on the market.

One unrealized benefit with the addition of a correctly made strut tower bar is that Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) can be reduced as well. With a vehicle like the Lancer Evo pinning you back in your seat while your tires stick like glue through a turn, a driver will appreciate the benefit of installing the AEM strut tower bar..

The 29-0000 AEM Performance Strut Bar fits the following Mitsubishi Evo models:

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L
