hi all

i have just got hold of a my 98 wrx intercooler. i am planning on fitting it to my 93import in place of the slanty one. i have noticed that everyone seems to cut and weld up the d/v hose on the intercooler but where do i fit my d/v if im using the y shape hoses from the 98 intercooler?

cheers for any help

Use the DV take off on the MY98 IC

Generally the DV take off is cut and welded on the later IC's (MY99>) as there isn't the clearance to fit the DV there on the MY93-98 cars because of the ISCV which the MY99 cars don't have.

 

I used a 93 Samco hose which I cut down retaining my OEM DV had the IC DV pipe cut a welded up

 

WAH thats a sweet job. i think it was you a few months back you sent me some email/pictures?

can you please tell me where i can get that hose from. the one with the d/v outlet on it. i have exactly the same model intercooler as you so what year was yours from? ive rang scoobyclinc and they couldnt help

Hi mate yeah I seem to remember sending you piccys now lol, the hose ( Samco ) came from Roger Clark Motorsport cost of £50.62 delivered, however I had to cut a lot off of it, also ground down the throttle body and the inlet on the IC for it to fit, the IC I fitted was from a MY97/98

 

just called them but i have to call back again in a minute to speek to oli. what did you do with all the ****ty metal filing's that fel into the intercooler when you cut/welded it up? id imagine hoovering then flushing with fuel but what did you do?

I did what you have just said hovered what I could out then flushed it out, the part no for the kit at RCM on my reciept is SH004 !!!.

it's a tw@t of a job to do and something at the time I wish I had never started but all was well once finished, I also bought the undertray for the IC from Grade A which needed a bit of modding and also a 2nd throttle body to gring down so that I have the OEM on still

spoke to the oli from roger clarke. he has records of you buying that pipe in january? but the pipe on the roger clarke site (showing a picture of SH004) doesnt look to have the d/v outlet on it?

aaaargh help!

 

it's defo on there mate I'm looking at it now, do you have msn if so PM me your details, yeah I bought it on the 6th Jan !!!

 

stewartsummers@msn.com add me bud

 

WHat happened to you mate you vanished off MSN ??

 

had to go sorry thought youd gone

ive decided to try fit the intercooler as itis. ill use the inlet hose that came with the intercooler and ill move that elbow to the other side.

 

Go for it mate I know others have done it that way but liked I said more work involved just make sure you find somebody who knows how to weld Ali well

 

ive a trusting buddy at "scratch match" locally who is sorting me out. ill keep this thread posted as and when + ill take plenty of pix and post them too

cheers for your help m8
