Cobb Flex Fuel Upgrades Now Available for the 2008+ Subaru WRX and STI

If you are similar to us here at Vivid Racing then you love horsepower! Gaining those those extra ponies from your vehicle can be achieved through bolt-on parts and proper tuning, but there is an easier way that can really up the power and that is by using a different type of fuel such as Ethanol. Unlike race fuel which is expensive and impractical for daily use, Ethanol is cheap and can be easily obtained throughout the the US in the form of E85. E85 is an abbreviation for an ethanol fuel blend of 85% denatured ethanol fuel and 15% gasoline or other blend of hydrocarbon. The octane rating of E85 is approximately 105-108 Octane points (depending on manufacturer) which is essentially like running race fuel in your car but at over half the cost!

Cobb Tuning has just released their Flex Fuel upgrade kits for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and 2008-2016 STI. These kits contain all the essential parts such as the Cobb Ethanol Sensor kit, replacement full lines, wire harness and replacement fuel lines making this a true plug-and-play solution. They also have packages for vehicles already utilizing a stage 2 or stage 3 setups.

Vivid Racing Employee Cars: Spotlight Evo 8

As you would imagine, interviews at Vivid Racing can quickly turn into an hour of car talk to be sure that we have the right candidate to service our customers with a level of expertise that our clients count on. When the story of  sales representative Arsha’s Evo came out we knew he would be the perfect fit.

Lucky enough to score his low mileage Evo in a wild GM Orange respray the Evo8 was destined for a big build and Arsha did not disappoint.  Keeping the stock bottom end, attention was given to the top end with ARP headstuds, Kelford‘s aggressive 272 camshafts pair with FP Beehive valve springs.  Up front the ETS Short route Intercooler piping and 3″ core helps to keep performance at its peak in our harsh desert environment. Power comes in with help of  FIC 1450CC injectors feeding  enviro-friendly E85, a Forced Performance FP Green HTA turbo and the indestructible Full-Race Prostock manifold, forcing boost through the Skunk2 throttle body into Buschur Racing’s ported intake manifold. Exhaust is removed with a custom 02 housing-back Agency Power exhaust system modified to fit with the JDM rear bumper.

All hands are on deck to keep a solid eye on the important functions of all this new power. Defi BF Series boost, oil pressure, and coolant temp gauges were added in a dash mounted pod. In addition to a AEM UEGO Wideband and Greddy Profec II Boost Controller to keep tabs on all the vitals.

Starting in the front exterior mods  include custom painted Evo 7 Headlights atop an Evo 8 Nose chopped front bumper to remove the Mistubishi emblem paired with a Do Luck Front lip. Out back  Evo 9 MR tail lights were added with the JDM Rear bumper and rarely seen Rexpeed Type-C trunk spoiler. Carbon fiber Ralliart mirrors Mitsubishi Rain Guards round out the mix in an all out refusal to leave anything OEM that didn’t fit the build. Up next,  Rota SVN-R 18×10 +20mm offset wheels are on all four corners with a 255/35/18 tire stretched over them to squeeze within flush to severely rolled and pulled fenders for fitment.  Camber and dampening is handled by Cusco Zero 2-RE W/ electronic dampening control and Agency Power Rear adjustable control arms.
