Thinking about getting one, mainly to aid cooling because i have heard the air goes over the top of the early scoops at high speeds. As many pics as you can please guys, and if anyone would like to say where they got it from and how much, feel free

That looks well WRONG! dont do it, its way too big.
Go for the front mount intercooler if you want more air in there

what he said above .....bog scoops (newage) look a bit pants on classics.
FMIC all the way

Cant afford the front mount option, so i thought this would be a budget alternative

What about the sti 7 scoop isnt that bigger ?

Sure, fat ugly girls do get married, but you will always be disappointed with what you have.

Face it, the big scoop on a classic looks terrible.. no matter what your argument for it is. Each to their own though....

My suggestion... if cash is the problem, save for an extra month and buy the Hybird FMIC from Harvey or BOB5 in the Trader announcements/GB section....

Where did you get that scoop munna? Is it the sti8 one? If i do go the front mount option wouldnt i need to get it mapped? And if so i would need an ecu like a power f.c as mine is a version4 so more ££££

Does a Front mount Intercooler increase bhp? Am only wondering this because uprated intercoolers used to increase bhp on Gran Turismo.

My different scoops.

S202 style







S201 Style









Front mounts add weight to an already front heavy car, reduced air flow to the radiator. Unless your making big power, a top mount can support 300+ whp. And top mounts are the real reason why there's a hood scoop, other wise it's rice.

big scoops look really out of place mate tbh go front mount and leave the standard scoop on

I've got the sti ver 7 style scoop from DRMotorsport. Its opening is 1" higher than the standard scoop and retains the standard look so doesn't look out of place.

all true, but a fmic is far better at maintaining lower charge temperatures and not being directly in the engine bay much more resistant to heat soak...you pays your money and makes your choice, I don't like the scoop so fmic for me

J200WRX

if you buy a scoop you will have to paint it aswell £££££££. its pretty much the same price for a fmic anyway.

guys he wants a scoop not a front mount im sure he knows he can fit one but he not even on about a fmi theres a few ways of making your scoop more affective too i think zero sport do a add on under bonnet thats ment to direct flow etc hope this is some help mate

Nickyv4

Fmic means more lag, stick with a top mount, get a sti 8 top mount and for more air flow get a zero sport duct for under the bonnet. i would only use a fmic if i was going over 400bhp.

imo tho

back on topic

you can also use an ic splitter that ensures there is air flow over the entire surface of the ic...have a look in technical, loads of info on this in there

back off topic

not if its mapped correctly...an urban myth perpetuated by tmic users

wrxcraig

i got a hybrid top mount and seems to do the job perfectly.

Nickyv4

its a fact more lenth in pipe work means more lag

munna

i'm fecking confused...i thought the thread was about scoops...its an sti8 one...i think...it was on the car when i got it...

fat girls...i like them big....should see the wife!!!....(joking...shes hot as hell..temper to match..hates the car..hates me...loves my money...just like the impreza!!)

each to their own...had mine standing against another impreza...bothe drivers agreed on the same thing...you can't polish a turd...!

but then the car was never brought for it looks..its whats underneath...just like the fat girls...!

circaisdashiat

Awesome! ive been looking for one of these for a long time.

I have a white classic sti impreza. This week ive just fitted a fmic because i wanted to keep my intake temps down, but im also guna fit a peanut/bugeye carbon fibre scoop for look value. Also a big scoop will draw air over the top of the engine and down the back to the underside. Thus getting rid of hot air. Ive had a peanut eye scoop on a classic before - caused one problem tho i coudnt see the front nearside corner of the car which made parking a bit more difficult. I say go big scoop as the benifits are greater engine and intercooler cooling whereas peoples opinions are just what they think.

OMG! simple question and so many off topic answers! puts you off posting anything up. Clearly he wants a big scoop not fmic.
