Go Fast Bits Helps Sport Compacts Reach Their Boosting Potential

Coming to you all the way from Australia, Go Fast Bits is a name synonymous with sport compact performance parts. Rather than creating options for the exhaust or engine, GFB instead focuses on support components that highlight those areas. The brand features a comprehensive line of blow off valves, engine pulleys, short shifters, and wastegates. There are legions of drivers who remain loyal to the products GFB is responsible for and it is evident on dozens of competitive racing circuits the world over. While Go Fast Bits may be from “down under”, their performance accessories are over the top in terms of quality.


Go Fast Bits TMS Blow-Off Valve
A big part of the GFB way is keeping a look out for boost pressure. For car owners who like to punch the throttle, blow-off valves are a critical part of the equation. Mounting air pressure can become an issue when your engine is under constant duress. The throttle body needs to remain healthy so your car can zoom around without restriction.

Go Fast Bits blow-off valves take all the boost that is built up and releases it. The result? Your engine is able to produce with more conviction, the exhaust hums along at a higher level and best of all, the engine is protected against catastrophic failure. But wait – that’s not it. You can grab a blow-off valve that gives your car a hungry underground sound that opens up a whole new level of attention. Whether it’s the GFB Mach 1 or the “Respons”, you can have that “whooshing” noise others notice on the street. There are plenty of other options as well, depending on what stage your car is currently at.


GFB Lightweight Pulley Kit
Reducing weight, any kind of weight, always helps a car unlock a little extra power. So what happens when the weight you remove is in direct relationship with engine output? More horsepower potential! Go Fast Bits engine underdrive pulleys come in different options and the one thing they all have in common is a decrease in rotational mass. Their pulleys are smaller and lighter than the OEM pulleys, which means they draw less overall power.

Instead of being made of clunky steel, you instead get sleek, lightweight aluminum that is both strong and high-performing. You can also get specific. There are pulleys available for the alternator, water pump, and power-steering. They come in full kits, as well, so you don’t have to sweat skimping on one to save on another. Go Fast gives you the ability to do a complete overhaul. And since these are underdriven pulleys, there is more available punch since they rotate slightly slower compared to the original factory parts. By themselves, engine pulleys do not initiate more horsepower. What they can do is make more HP eligible to be distributed to other areas of the car where that power can come in handy! Plus, you will notice hitting gears (especially on the lower end) to be smoother and more responsive than before.


Go Fast Bits Short Shift Kit
In an STI or Nissan Skyline, the transmission is your guide. It’s like a navigation tool. It gets you where you want to go and moreover, helps you get there quicker. If you happen to be a competitive racer on the track or in rally cross, it is even more crucial. You need to hit gears without worrying about overcoming shifting distance or hitting a snag. That is precisely what short shift kits are designed for. Go Fast Bits knows how important it is for you to be able to have a handle on things and going from one gear to the next faster can be a big help.

Short throw kits are the missing piece in the puzzle performance drivers need. The ratio for gear changes is cut considerably, allowing for much quicker shifts. This is noticeable especially going from 3rd to 4th and back down. What will you notice? For starters, you won’t lose acceleration at a precipitous rate, which happens under stock settings. Secondly, the responsiveness your car will emit gives you better control on the track. Is this something your sled needs to hit the next level? We’re guessing it is.

Wastegates

Go Fast Bits EX50 Wastegate
Go Fast Bits knows that the OEM wastegate is not meant for handling all of that extra boost your souped-up ride is capable of throwing. Their solution is opening up the ports and lengthening the springs to account for the increased pressure. Enter the EX50. The EX50 wastegate is one of GFB’s most talked-about offerings. This device helps keep boost in check by restricting the exhaust that flows through the turbo. Pressure remains balanced and flow is opened up.

Each GFB EX50 wastegate features three primary pieces – the outlet port, inlet port, and the pressure actuator. Thanks to the company’s insistence on using top-notch materials, the stainless steel valve body and aluminum housing can stand up to the most extreme elements and still function without missing a beat. There are also three springs that help regulate PSI levels, giving you the power to achieve custom settings for each of your adventures. If you have went through the trouble of tossing in some high-performance exhaust parts and other hardware to give your car some added pop, an EX50 wastegate brings it all together with convenience and safety.

Whether you own a WRX, EVO, GT-R, or a 370Z, it can be tough finding top quality accessories that give your engine the support and punch it needs. And doing so while keeping an eye out on maintenance is also a priority. Go Fast Bits specializes in providing parts for compact performance enthusiasts because they are drivers first, engineers second. All of their products are tested in advance, so you can be sure their fit and function is at the peak of the industry.
