im in bournemouth mate-yours doesnt look much bigger than my unit tho-is it a wrx one from a facelift?

 

Is yours the slanty one that's fitted to early WRX's?

 

yes it is-thats why i need 2 find out if i can change 2 a bigger tmic with only limited space-does anyone know if i can?

 

Yes you can fit larger i/c's.
Many people with the slanted type will change it for a larger version.
They do fit but can need some gentle persuasion around the bulkhead area.
This is my new one - made a massive difference to intake temps.



Fitted

 

thanks 4 that-what make is it or is it a oem unit and i c u have modified the fixing bracket-did u do this yourself or did u buy new bracket?

 

Can't remember what model the i/c is off, someone local to me was putting his back to standard so we swapped them over one morning. Brackets were just modded from the original ones with a little bit of clever thinking.

here you go have a look at this

step by step (by carl davey) for a v8 sti top mount.

 

ive got a 2003 TMIC fitted to my 95.

i had to re-shape the bracket the clutch support bar attaches to as the intercooler hit it and i am now just about to re-shape the lip on the bulk head as it hits that as well,not massively but im picky and i can hear it at times on sharp off throttle or reversing quickly etc when the engine moves

they do fit,but if you dont re-shape the clutch support bracket it will vibrate

 

some pics.throttle body and intercooler opening trimmed also to allow fitment

thanx 4 the info folks-i dont think i will go 4 a newage intercooler tho as i dont want 2 get rid of the strut brace so will go 4 a classic sti intercooler and adapt that 2 fit
