Construction & Design:
The intake valve guides are manufactured from high-grade manganese bronze, a material known for its excellent wear resistance and thermal conductivity. This choice of material helps to reduce valve stem wear and manage heat transfer effectively, which is critical in high-revving, performance-oriented engines like the FA20.
Each guide is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a snug fit around the valve stem while allowing smooth movement. This precision reduces valve wobble and promotes consistent valve seating, which is essential for maintaining engine compression and performance. The robust construction also helps prevent premature guide wear, extending the life of your engine’s valve train components.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the GSC Power Division Intake Valve Guides requires removal of the cylinder head and existing valve guides. Due to the precision fit and material properties, professional installation with proper tools is recommended to ensure correct seating and alignment. These guides are designed as direct replacements for the factory components on the specified model years, requiring no modifications to the cylinder head or valves.
Fitment covers the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models from 2013 through 2020, as well as the Toyota 86 from 2017 through 2020, all equipped with the FA20 engine. This ensures compatibility across the popular trio of sports cars sharing this platform and powertrain.
