02 WRX intercooler into 93WRX?
 

Has anyone done it? I have had a measure up and it seems a little tight for space back towards the bulkhead. Are there any other problems I should know about? I realise there is the difference in dump valves nut I was just going to blank over the outlet on the front of the new ic and retain the existing dv location. Are there any downsides to doing this? Any help appreciated.

So has nobody done this? I am surprised, oh well guess i'll have to break new ground then.

Haven't done what you're suggesting, but do have MY02 i/c for sale, if you're looking for one.

i'm looking to do the same thing to my 'y' uk classic...
seen an sti7 one for sale.......wondering the same as you.

someone i know is trying to fit a uk 99/00 and that is too big, so the 2002 model will never fit if the 99/00 one wont

Thanks guys. I don't need one as i've got the offer of one for free.

There is a thread that shows this mod through the stages of fitting the STI8 IC. It highlights all the pitfalls you are likely to come across.

Here it is

It can be done, a few people are running the MY99/00 IC on <96 cars :)

Its a tight fit and you do have to shorten the IC outlet, but it can be done.

daz, i think i know the one you're looking at ;) hope my email was useful :)

like Jay said it can be done on the later models with the phase 1.5/2 manifold as the throttle body & idle control valve are set further forward giving you more room, it would be a hell of a tight squeeze on a phase 1 manifold car, i only just got my STi5 one to fit on my my95
