Subaru WRX Blow Off Valve

If you own a Subaru WRX, investing in a WRX blow off valve can help regulate pressure in your car's engine by letting air escape when necessary. By doing so, it keeps the engine running smoothly and minimizes the risk of engine failure. A blow-off valve is usually used in a turbocharged engine, making it perfect for your Subaru WRX. It helps prevent boost creep (a condition where too much pressure builds up in your vehicle's engine). Too much boost can lead to turbo or engine failure.

The turbocharged engine of your WRX  is often subjected to high-stress levels. Getting a WRX blow off valve helps regulate that pressure and extend your engine's lifespan while ensuring it runs smoothly.

Aftermarket Blow Off Valve Maintenance Tips

Whether you’ve chosen the JD Muscle Subaru WRX Kompact EM Series Dual Port Style Blow Off Valve, our Subaru WRX (FA24F) BOV Kompact EM Plumb Back Blow Off Valve, or our Subaru WRX RFL Series Hybrid Blow Off Valve, keeping your blow off valve for your 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, or 2021 Subaru WRX STI clean is ultimately about adopting some basic maintenance tips.

Given that your blow off valve encounters a lot of dust, dirt, and grease, maintaining a regular maintenance schedule will go a long way to ensuring it works efficiently, and doesn’t stick or get clogged with debris. If not properly cleaned with a regular maintenance schedule, a clogged or obstructed blow off valve can lead to an overheated engine.

When done properly, cleaning your blow off valve will ensure it lasts for years to come. Depending upon your driving habits, you may need to clean your blow off valve for your 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, or 2021 Subaru WRX STI once a month, especially if you’re driving in wet terrains and environments. The JDMuscle team will be more than happy to answer any questions about cleaning frequency based on your driving habits and conditions.

Start by removing the cap on your 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, or 2021 Subaru WRX STI blow off valve and removing the spring. Next, take the piston out. You can clean the piston with mild, non-toxic, and non-abrasive soap and water. When wiping the piston from your blow off valve, use a microfiber, lint-free cloth.

Once the piston has been removed and cleaned, check the surface of the piston to ensure there are no micro-scratches, indentations, dimples, or dents. After inspecting the piston, it’s always good to inspect the inside of the blow off valve to ensure there are no debris or surface scratches. After removing the O-ring, check the O-ring to ensure it’s not pinched or torn.

Finally, ensure you’ve quickly checked the O-ring groves and do a quick clean of them before reassembling everything.

How Turbo Blow Off Valves Work

Whether you’re purchasing a blow off valve for your Subaru WRX STI or looking for one of our 2015-2021 Subaru WRX Turbos, the JDMuscle team is always willing to provide insight on maintenance and upkeep. Think of our Subaru WRX STI blow off valve as a mechanism that helps to release pressure from your Subaru WRX STI Boxer engine that comes from shifting gears.

That build-up of pressure within your Subaru WRX STI Boxer engine can impact your engine’s performance and damage its parts. A blow off valve helps to release that pressure, ensuring your engine performs at peak efficiency so you can enjoy a more comfortable ride. Ultimately, without a blow off valve, your Subaru WRX won’t reach its full potential or attain its peak horsepower.
