Hi All

I'm thinking of upgrading to a FMIC over the next few weeks. I have a hawkeye 06 wrx, hopefully hitting about 350bhp in a few weeks when Duncan has finished working his magic.

I have a STI TMIC at present - I know this is enough for the power. But I'm like a kid in a sweet shop and have seen something a bit sexy.

I've been advised never to buy a cheap intercoolers system because of bad pipe designs, hope fully with this I can get custom pipes made.

My main questions are:

Has anyone used Mishimoto?

Does anyone see a problem with the size 27.5" x 11.75" x 3" ? (I understand the bumper will need cutting a bit)

And general advice too please.

Thanks, Gez

 

Sorry cant help at all but it looks like a dam good bit of kit

 

Well its tube and fin so thats a good start, but the short answer is thats a generic intercooler.

You need to do a search on here for Harvey selling Hybrid intercoolers, as used in very big power apps and many more normal ones.

 

No idea I think you're mental though unless your getting flow matched headers/uppipe and a quick spooling turbo Lag is no fun at all

 

Funnily I've just bought my new turbo off Harvey

It sounds like you think its gonna be really detrimental to the engine power, last thing I wanna do is ruin what I've got

 

What spec is it going to be ?

 

it would go on my WRX hawkeye - in a few weeks time it should be around 350bhp (not sure on torque). Its got a total de-cat afterburner system, 255 fuel pump, cold air feed and a TD05 18g turbo. with STI TMIC

 

Too soon, wait till you've re-built the gearbox, sorry forged the motor, and bought a bigger turbo !

dunx

 

Sounds fine to me, leave it alone

Put the money towards a turbo blanket and a 6Speed

Do you have the STi scoop and undertray ?

 

scoop is the same on the hawkeye, haven't got the undertray yet. Was gonna hold out until i've decided about intercooler - Think I'll get the zero-sports undertray, heard good things about it and its virtually impossible to get the sti undertray
