STI v4 intercooler
:wonder: Hi could someone help me will a Sti v4 intercooler of a 1998 wagon fit on my Uk 1995 wagon and how much work would it take to fit. thanks:thumb:

I don't think there is room on the V2's with the slant mounted I/C. Most people opt for frontmounts for good reason I believe.:)
|
Thanks m8 for the info
|
I have a V2 and it would be much easier and cheaper if it did fit :)

A V4 or 3 TMIC will fit on a V2 car but it requires a bit of work.
Jonny Gav who is Vice chairman of Tyne Tees Scoobies has fitted a ver 6 STi to a ver 2 WRX and I am sure he will give you a first hand account if you contact him through TTS. Personally I would be thinking about a Hybrid GT FMIC which is far better in terms of performance and ease of fit. |
Fairly straight forward to fit, I've just done mine.
Trim 5mm off the cooler outlet to T/B and off the T/B itself. This gives a bit more clearance. I also chopped of the corner of the cooler and had it welded back up with an adjusted outlet for the dump valve take off (£15) If you use a later flanged cooler this would not be reqd. Then is a case of just fabricating a couple of brackets. I also made a tailored undertray to suit the new cooler as the std one now doesnt fit. I'll post pictures a little later as im on my way out.

Stu : Your photos would be interesting to a lot of people I am sure but what you have done sounds like a lot of work and not everyone will have access to the facilities you have needed. Hence the suggestion that a FMIC will be easier to fit and achieve better results.
BTW I have an STi 4 TMIC for sale, cheap. |

BTW I have an STi 4 TMIC for sale, cheap. At this time i wanted a more factory look, mine is used for trackdays and has been built on the cheap to some extent. All in its cost £100ish and thats out sourcing the ali welding and buying the cooler, all in all it fits my needs ATM. Given time i intend to design my own, with the shortest runs possible as per the WRC cars. But I'm in no doubt it means a custom water radiator, reversed inlet and no air-con etc etc amongst other things so ill monitor temps and see how it goes. For info i actually never saw above 45C on track with the std small slanty type, dont know if other have bothered to measure temps themselves or not?

On an STi 3 at 335 bhp the ACT just before the throttlebody would run off the guage at 70 C from a standing start sprint to 100mph.

I should have said, some nice and impressive work there. Unfortunately not everyone has your skills and facilities. I know I struggle to get alloy welding done when I need it.
