Lateral and longitudinal forces from turns, acceleration, and braking, especially in drifting and road race vehicles, could push oil around the floor and up the side of the pan, starving the pickup under high-rpm/high-lateral g conditions. This is a common problem for high-performance engines. The Subaru EJ engine is notorious for oiling problems. From spun rod/crank bearings to occasional faulty oil pickup units, this engine has been begging for an aftermarket fix to prevent such mishaps from occurring. Killer B Motorsport out of Waynesboro, VA, specializes in aftermarket Subaru components. KBM offers a number of upgraded oiling parts, including a more robust oil pickup, oil pan baffle, and larger-capacity oil pan.

It goes without saying that if this car were never built, you wouldn’t be reading this feature. What’s perhaps less obvious is that if this car were never built, you probably wouldn’t have read any feature I’ve ever written. I know that might sound daft, but if you’ll bear with me everything will start to make sense. The following is an unconventional feature story about an unconventional enthusiast. A story about friendship, mistakes, dreams and shared experiences.

You are not allowed to know whom these cars belong to. You are not allowed to know the owner’s name, age, exact location, occupation, hobbies, or what motivated these ridiculously amazing builds. Seriously. Why? Well, because that’s how they want it. Quite out of the ordinary, I know. You better believe that it would take quite an extraordinary set of circumstances for us at Import Tuner to even give this type of situation a second thought much less actually go through with it. But sometimes you just can’t say no. Sometimes the situation is so captivating and the car (in this case, cars) is so sick that you are willing to make an exception, throw convention aside, and just do it anyway. And this, my friends, is one of those situations.
