​Always striving for the highest quality engineered products and affordable to the masses, we here at LIC Motorsports have been working with CSF Radiators​ for almost a year now to assist in bringing a fantastic option to market for these cars.  One that not only meets others standards but exceeds technology in its class.  We are honored to be a strategic partner on this venture and we feel that it will be a product you won't want to be without!

CSF Radiators and LIC Motorsports are proud to announce the release and immediate availability of a new line of unique and innovative All-aluminum race-spec radiators with built-in oil coolers for the Subaru WRX & STI platform. 

Now available in limited quantities for both the 2002-2007 (Manf # CSF 3076O) and 2008-2014 + 2015 (Manf # CSF 7042O). * 2006/2007 WRX has a much tighter fitment due to different factory oil cooler and exhaust manifold combination.  To make this work with these model years, you will either need to remove the factory oil cooler and cap off the coolant line coming off the water pump and at the block and/or run aftermarket headers (as it'll have less of a fitment issue).*
 
Technical Specs:

• These radiators utilize a 2-row 42mm core that feature CSF's exclusive B-tube technology, as well as an ultra-efficient 6.5mm multi-louvered fin for maximum surface area contact, heat dissipation, and extreme performance capabilities.  
• Equipped with an all-aluminum racing style drain plug for quick and reliable fluid changes
• CSF 1.4 Bar (20 psi) radiator cap
• Engineered and designed to be a complete "drop-in fit" install. Works with all the OEM brackets, fittings, AC condenser, hoses, and fan shrouds (only minor trimming needed at fitting locations)
• Featuring a robust 4-plate liquid-to-oil plate-type oil cooler built into the bottom endtank. A liquid-to-oil cooler is much more efficient than a conventional air-oil cooler. Lab tested in CSF"s ISO certified in-house lab testing facility to reject heat better and at a faster rate than a 10 row air-to-oil cooler. In addition, by being placed in the bottom endtank, the oil temperature is regulated by the thermostat of the cooling system. Never have to worry about operating temperatures not warming up fast enough in cold weather climates. 
• Complete with 2 AN-10 male fittings and is compatible with many popular aftermarket engine and exhaust manifolds. 
• This kit comes complete with a machined thermostatic sandwich plate made by Greddy and forged right angle -10 fittings made by BAT.
• Topped off with the industry's finest 1 hour hand polish "mirror finish" for a look that matches the performance.

For those that didn't see...we will now be offering pinned mains on cases as an option on bigger builds. This isn't something that is necessary for everyone but anyone over 400whp and 25psi of boost, its something that should at least be considered.
 
 
What does this do and why would I need it?

The issue at higher horsepower and boost levels is what's called shuffling. This is where the two blockhalves come together, it literally starts to move around, this is caused by pressure/heat/torsional stresses/etc.

By pinning the mains (aka anti-shuffle pins) a more robust and rigid environment is achieved. This custom pinning work can now be done through LIC Motorsports.
 
Price: $500.00 (does not include shipping to/from)

Turnaround Time: 2 weeks (once in the schedule)

We thought it would be fun to let you guys in on the making of the LIC Motorsports Adj. Idlers.  Often times one never really thinks just how something is made, albeit that it never crosses one's mind, too busy to even think about it, and/or just downright don't even care.  Well we know some do care and would be interested; so this article is for you!
 
The chronology is like many other designed parts...which has a chain of events that must occur

• Figuring out before hand if the idea will even work  
• Lots of math and calculations to get length/width/height/offset/back spacing correct
• A one off handmade test piece will be made for test fitment/functionality purposes
• Next finding out what material is best suited for the intended part(s)
• From there it goes to a test production product (a one off final production piece)
• Tolerances are confirmed or adjustments are made if needed
• Then subjecting the test piece to different temperatures to see expansion/contraction rates
• Testing the test piece in real conditions (this was 2 years before we moved onto the next step)
• Figuring out hard costs vs. retail (and if the market will support it)
• Production is setup (batch ordering is always best for cost effectiveness)
• Items are run and double/triple checked for tolerances
• Product is given a name/description/part number
• Images, install instructions are made, item fitment categories are done
• Content gets uploaded via website
• Promotions begin

 
The process seems fairly uninvolved right?  Well let me break it down a little differently and a bit more product specific.  This is what it takes to make 1 idler bearing (which is only 50% of what comes in the kit).

• All of the above mentioned bullet points
• Steel round bar makes its way to the CNC lathe
• Underside of product is precision cut on CNC lathe (what is now called a slug)
• Product then makes its way over to the CNC mill
• While in the Mill it will be: precision drilled, trimmed down, and engraved
• Once out of the Mill it will be cleaned and placed in a box
• Tolerances will be double checked to ensure they do not exceed 0.005 - 0.001
• Parts go from this box to a table
• Each part is hand cleaned
• Assembly of LIC idler insert and bearing will happen one at a time
• Next it gets tested to ensure it rolls smoothly and functions properly
• After all that, it gets cleaned yet again and small amount of rust protection is placed
• Item is placed in packaging and is now ready to sell
• Total time from steel round bar to inside box = 30 mins (15 mins per Idler)
  
• Last but not least, this product is: PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA

For more than 29 years of continuous exhaust development and technical expertise are drawn upon to develop the ultimate Milltek Sport range of performance products, offering an ever-expanding comprehensive selection of performance exhausts which build on the successes of key marques like Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW and Nissan. As of just recently Milltek has been taking off in the Subaru marketplace.

Whereas the factory saw fit to endow the car with a system diameter of just 53.8mm, careful testing
led Milltek’s engineers to arrive at a bore 15% larger at 63.5mm, reducing back pressure and
improving performance. Mass was also a consideration from the outset, with the team seeking to
trim excess weight from the OEM set‐up – despite the desire to run a larger diameter bore
throughout. The results have been astounding. Two systems will be available upon launch; a
secondary cat‐back design that is some 10.5lbs (23%) lighter than stock, and for those that refuse to
compromise, a primary cat‐back design that saves more than 17.6lbs (27%) over the standard part.
On a car that is about refinement and light weight, these figures are encouraging – but they mean
nothing without tangible power gains to back them up. Thankfully, the numbers here are equally as
impressive. Under independent evaluation, the test mule recorded 168.2hp / 141.6ft‐lbs as standard
at the wheels. With the Milltek Sport secondary cat‐back system, it increased to 175.4hp / 144.6ftlbs
– an increase of 7.2hp (4%) and 3ft‐lbs (2%). With the primary cat‐back system, the car was able
to produce a much more impressive 180.1hp / 153.4ft‐lbs – an increase of 11.9hp (6.6%) and 11.8ftlbs (7.7%). For a normally aspirated car, these numbers are astounding.

With the ‘weight’ and ‘power’ boxes ticked, Milltek’s designers were also keen to ensure that the
system packed an aesthetic improvement too. A pair of beautifully crafted 4.5” GT115 single‐skin
tailpipes was the ideal finishing touch. Balancing a more aggressive demeanour with an ‘OEM+’
attitude, they are the perfect visual balance.

In a similar sense to the Y‐Pipe on the Nissan GT‐R, replacing the BRZ’s over‐pipe with the Milltek
Sport Over‐Pipe is one of the simplest performance modifications that you can make. This is mainly
down to the OEM part featuring numerous crushes, dimples and changes in pipe radius. The Milltek
Over‐Pipe not only features smooth‐radius mandrel bends and optimal pipe routing but it’s also
manufactured from a larger‐bore pipe – 63.5mm versus the OEM’s 53.8mm. Despite this, the Milltek
part is actually 33% lighter! Evidence again, if it were needed, that Millteks’ attention to detail on
the development of this system has been extremely thorough and complete.
​
The Milltek Sport Over‐Pipe has been engineered to fit both left and right‐hand drive vehicles and is
fully interchangeable with the OEM exhaust system and the Milltek Sport system.
