what's the max power we can achieve with the original intercooler?

thanks

Approx 340BHP i would say. IT may be a bit more but i wouldn't chance the air charge temp.

 

about 320ish, but i have heard 340 as well

 

I was producing 335 bhp and 333 lbs/ft. Fitted with a charge temp guage the ACTs were shooting past 70C, the range of the guage in a sprint from standstill to 100 mph.
Not a lot past 300 bhp and it is time to look at an FMIC on the STi3 and 4.

 

thanks all for the infos. actually i run about 330bhp/330lbf with all the mods.
For Harvey, sadly here in Belgium we can fit a FMIC if the car has a TMIC as OEM.

The Brussels Bureaucrats, eh?

 

Prior to fitting the FMIC I had an STi 8 top mount. To get it to work properly you need the big scoop from an STi 8 and I got an aftermarket scoop from David Reid Motorsport. You also need the under tray.
This is a partial solution because it is not as good as the FMIC.
