hi all,i have a sti 8 intercooler to go on my my99 classic! i have a dump valve on the standard intercooler but this will not fit the sti one! will i just need to buy a newage dumpvalve to fit the intercooler as space looks a little tight to the colipack! i looked at the guide on here but that uses the standard sti recerc valve?

cheers

 

Newage dumpvalve does fit with a little bit of fiddling. Easiest option is to cut the coilpack mount pillars a bit so it sits lower. From what I recall there's a good quarter inch or so that can come off. You'll probably have to drill and tap the holes a little bit deeper, which is easy enough, just make sure you don't go too far and drill down all the way through into the plenum!

 

ideal thanks for that!i have already cut the coilpack mounts down so will just have to get a dumpvalve now!!

 

this is my STI 8 on MY00

going off topic a little now but im also fitting an sti8 tmic and will need to buy a bov but i keep reading that there no good for the engine, but i like the woosh sound to much to just give it up. can you get recirculating bov that still make the woosh sound or is it nothing to worry about

 

thanks darc that helps alot!!is that a standard recerc valve??

as for damage to engine iv never had and trouble and their are thousands of scoobys with them,you hardly hear of trouble because of them!

 

yes mate its the Standard STI 8 Valve

I'm a bit confused by the logic here. Why are you replacing the standard intercooler with the STi8 one?

 

I think you will need a section of rubber return pipe as the oe one won't fit as the d/v outlet is on the opposite side. 35mm dia.
