depends on how its mapped (ie boost etc).

How about I/C?

Well if it helps its definitly going to get mapped by Bob from BRD. I/c will be put on at a later stage. Budget cant stretch that far!

if you dont change the intercooler the power/bhp will be well low

Aztec Performance Ltd

what year/model is it?

You wont be going far on std I/C unless its sti7/8.

Best to get it mapped after all mods otherwise you will have to re-map again.

Bob

Its a MY00 P1

I'm not in the postion to get all the mods, sisters wedding coming up so would prefer to do it in two stages. Second remap I have been told is a lot less than the initial one.

Your P1 I/c is worth around £200. A STi7/8 one will cost around £250-300.

A re-map will cost you how much?

stevebt

you will be lucky if you get past 320bhp with that intercooler, its not even worth changing the injectors over

Neilo

true...even my WRX ones bigger than the P1 one eh steve ?

Aztec Performance Ltd

he should be okay for a bit more than that....not much mind you

Bob

P1 RAJ

erm... It looks like its worth changing the intercooler.

question is bigger top mount or front mount???

With this done what will the mods be good for???

Thanks for your reply's guys!!!

400bhp odd with a decent I/C. Will need to change injectors too though (£250-300).

STi8 top mount is meant to be good and cheap too

Aztec Performance Ltd

Not sure exactly how much power the sti8 I/C is good for but AndyF seems to rate it well.

Ted Ed

Has anybody tried the Hyperflow TMIC instead of a bigger FMIC

Its 2.14 bigger than standard and a lot cheaper than a FMIC...looks good too and it's a bar and plate design

I read that AndyF uses a big top mount on his car

Anybody any comments

andyf's tmic is as big if not bigger than some people's fmic

I think Rich W is still using a top mount - but NOT the standard one....

P1 RAJ

So whats the best front mount intercooler to go for???

Aztec Performance Ltd

iTrader: (234)

one of harveys Hybrid FMIC will do or an STi8 TMIC.

markwild

Also, how do you define 'best' ? If its 'easiest to fit', DONT go for the hybrid - I'm not saying its too difficult, just not the easiest...

For Price and effectiveness, I've found it well worth the fitting trouble, but not everyone wants to cut the bumper up etc....

Just thought it was worth mentioning..

Best in terms of performance and cost. As long as I don't lose my AC or driving lights i'm happy.

Is there a problem with lag after you fit a FMIC or can you map for that?

Thanks

I have an MRT TMIC on order from Jap Innovations. It's not cheap but is meant to be pretty good and saves the hassle of fitting a FMIC. I just need a Miltek STi 8 scoop for my classic now

P1 RAJ sorry im off topic here but do you live anywhere near walsall as ive seen a P1 with the private plate P1 RAJ round here a few times, been past my house a few times. Bloody nice lookin scoob is well whos ever it is.

P1 RAJ

Not me Scoobyboy, I'm based near Heathrow. Wouldn't mind that plate though, pity there ain't no way to get in touch with him.

Will check out the MRT intercoolers, cheers Theo

My car made 350bhp with the Original STI5 TMIC, with pretty much identical mods to those you have listed in the first part of this thread!! (MY00 P1 too!)

(Don't forget you will need a Catch Tank, Plugs, and change the Inlet pipe to turbo IMHO too)

The only difference was I am still on the OE ECU using ECUTEK software mapped by BRD. Have changed to a Hyperflow FMIC now, and getting re-map this weekend, so should see that 350bhp rise a little after!

For the P1 lads, i saw a P1 at TSL saturday with 490bhp , Now thats serious power.

P1 RAJ

Pickle which inlet pipe do you have?

490 is crazy power

PICKLE

I made my own using 63mm Samco, and alloy tubing! All it cost me was the samco hose (around £20-25) and the welding of the alloy tubing which SPEC-R did for me!

Wouldn't let myself pay thru the nose for a Samco/MRT type hose!

P1 RAJ

What torque figure did you get pickle with 350bhp?

Cheers

PICKLE

300 FT/LB. That was @ G-Force rollers on a RR day earlier on this year.(1.3bar boost held on plain Optimax)
Have changed a few parts since then, FMIC, Induction tract etc, and will have the car mapped again Saturday. Hoping for a little under 400bhp depending on rollers etc. (Wouldn't like to exceed 350FT/LB as I still have OE STI5 type gearbox!)
