would this be a decent upgrade for a 97 wrx which will have a td05 fitted early next year?

will be fitting a larger scoop on the bonnet to feed it enough fresh air

 

What power you after running?

TBH go for the STI8 intercooler for the extra cost. I reckon the WRX TMIC will flow enough to 320-330bhp though.

Love the paintjob on the car. Looks superb.

im running about 320 to 330 through the standerd one and it seams fine

i will be happy with 350 or there abouts. sti8 looks like it will be a right pain to fit to the 1.5 inlet

this wrx intercooler is cheeeep

car looks slightly diffrent now
99/00 spec front end
p1covers
driving lamps
legacy rims
tried to order a v6 sti front lip today but TSL didnt have any in stock

You can have my MY02 WRX TMIC for peanuts if you like........... which it is all it's worth !! The TD05 flows too much air !! Can't Alyn shoehorn the thing in somehow !!

Gus here on Cumbrian scoobs got an STi 7/8 TMIC from somewhere in Ireland dirt cheap, I'll have a look but Ninnybobs should have the web site !!

ps

can Scott lowe help with the lip ??

did you try the td05 with the ic or were you just told it was no good?

 

Sticky

I was advised by Bob Rawle and John Banks that to get the best out of the TD05 that a STi intercooler was recommended......

I'm now running my TD05 with my old WRX intercooler while I get my FMIC sorted and it's all wrong !!

in first and second I don't notice a difference but in third and forth while overtaking on the A69 ......................Pants !!

i also got an sti8 IC from ireland pretty damn cheap.....140 to be presise....delivered, its euro auto salvage, look them up on google and youll get it. If you can handle the crap service and zero communication youll get a very decent part, mine was virtualy brand new!

 

Thanks Neilo.......

At that price I might buy one to keep me going !! LOL

 

just had a thought, i thought the 97 onwards wrx`s were alll 276bhp, i totally forgot about the newer wrx`s not being that powerfull

 

Mine came from the same Irish breakers, £200 all in.
Few words, but rapid delivery!
Sti8 into Stiv3 Facelift is NOT a bolt in job, but the butchery is nothing compared to a FMIC.
If interested, look at 911's project thread....
