If you had a newage wrx with a standard tmic and replaced it with an sti tmic,or you had an sti and replaced it with a "hyperflow"tmic, would your power increase without any other mods??? or would you need a re-map before you got any gain. Sorry for the silly question,I`m a bit of a

 

it wont exactly gain you power,it keeps the charge temperatures cooler,the standard intercoolers are good for 300-350 bhp mate.

 

So if I fit a hyperflow into a sti, I`m not going to gain anything unless I do "supporting" mods too. The decrease in air temperature alone wont gain me any more ooomph?

 

ok i know this is not really related i had a few scoobies but never worked on them and am trying to do alot myself any advice is welcome i have 2003 wrx engine conversion in a 2001 classic sport its 270bhp at dastek but trying to get over 300 im fitting fmic with t piece for vta valve so i got turbosmart fine and new silicone inlet/induction hose do i just bung where the hose went to the recirc on tmic before? as theres no where for this now? im just unsure after i got this on its going to dastek next week for bigger injectors,7b plugs and a vf35 turbo then its booked in to andy forrest on 5th for re-map just dont want to make an **** of it masel lol and yes i have to now as its on axle stands outside ma hoose completely dimantled before you all say dont bother lol any guidance would be appreciated im new on here and unsure where to write and how to get in to bits lol cheers grant

 

it may gain u a very small amount,but not really worth doing unless u get supporting mods.

post your own thread about this, you'll have more of the knowledgable people see it, and get your answer

 

Depends on the intercooler to an extent. You may get some benefit from a more efficient intercooler, meaning less pressure drop as the air passes from the turbo into the engine intake so you get more out of the turbo. A less restrictive intercooler may help spool up times. I don't know the hyperflow, but I fitted a Process West TMIC to my WRX without a remap, and found the engine to be a little bit more responsive and with a little bit more power. I may have imagined it though!

Cheers for the advice

 

The standard newage tmic is already very efficiant and good for upto 400bhp
Spending money on a hyperflow tmic just seems a waste of money and you may end up losing power.
Whenever you fit a new intercooler its always advised to get the car remapped to get the most out of it, and also for safety reasons
