thanks mate, injectors from a sti work? (they yellow or pink?)


this is where i'm abit stuck atm, the car is a convert (1995), i've trying to work out which year the running gear is atm, with a wet finger in the air i think its a 1997 but its a BIG guess atm

best bet is to post a pic of the engine bay. Classic engines vary so much.

Decat and centre section for sale if you are wanting buddy. Also i might be wrong but i think someone advised me about fitting a newage (wrx) intercooler onto my classic when i was looking to do this. Cheaper than front mount (check this out though as it is a dim memory)

Ok I would have said yellow assuming you have a phase 1 or 2. But since you don't know the running gear I'm not sure myself lmaoooo.

Didn't realise you were from Brum lol. Come to the meets and we will figure it out lol.

it will need phase 2 injectors which i have a full recon set inc seals,. also i fitted a fmic to my current wrx with a 225pump 440cc injectors, simtek ecu ported td05, ported oe headers, hayward up pipe and i get 1bar of boost at 3,400rpm so dont worry about the front mount / top mount debate,.

so a front mount will be fine? i got my eye on the one i want which i was going to pick up next week (toyo sports one as used them in the pass on my old turbo'ed cars)

people have told me that the top mounts car crap as of the heat gets to them

picking up my fuek pump the weekend and de-cat'ed system monday morning.

That is a V3 or V4 (my97-my98) engine you're running. V1 and V2 were slanted intercoolers. You can tell between V3=4 and V5=6 on how the coil packs are placed and the air inlet pipework is laid out .
