intercooler conversion DIY :-)

old intercooler (crap1)


Ally weldin on the STI6 intercooler


Cutting down the throttle body (did not enjoy that bit)


The finished artical

 

nice onemate. looking good

 

does it not knock on the sturt brace? did you make custom brackets?

 

custom brackets and no it does sometimes vibrate against the bulk head

 

you should try straightening it up

 

nice,want to do this....what version ic?

 

version 6 sti. it sits better as it is, looks bad in the pic for some reason.

 

yeah,try n straighten it up a bit, if it hits the bulkhead,you need to adjust the bracket above the clutch support bar a bit more with ya hammer and turn the lip down a bit on the bulkhead itself

in the end, i reshaped mine loads and used some washers to raise it even more on the brackets so it sits up more rather than laying flat.

looks good tho,better than before

 

You sure thats a sti6 tmic? The 6 has a bolt on dump valve, the 3/4 has the right angled pipe. Also, the bottom is different, see this:
