Intercooler bonnet scoop
 
I have a 57 plate 'Hawkeye' WRX which now has an STI intercooler fitted (with other mods) but still require an STI bonnet scoop - does anyone know which scoops will fit? Does it have to be an STI10 'Hawkeye' scoop or will previous version fit with no problems?

any help or accurate info please

Cheers

I beleive the scoops are the same for the Hawkeye WRX and STi it is the undertray that is bigger on the STi.

they are the same/diffrent undertray

Cheers for the replies, however I have the undertray from an STI (came with the topmount intercooler from a Hawkeye STI) but the tray is too tall for the WRX scoop? Have tried on the car and is definitely too tall?

sorry to thread high jac but while on the subject does any1 know if a blob eye bonnet scoop will fit a classic... also would i need the blobeye under tray etc, is it a straight swap rnd or does it need modifing in order to fit it, if so then please tell me what i need to do in order to fit it....
thank you all :thumb:

i fitted a hawkeye sti under tray to my 06 WRX and it fitted fine
i would say you have not got a hawkeye undertray not a uk one anyway

Cheers Addison - I'll have another go and make sure it does/does not fit. Sounds like I might need an undertray from a Hawkeye (which 'allegedly' I have) rather than a scoop.

Cheers again

you could bend /cut it to fit without too much trouble
your scoop will get enough air in so it is just a guide, the rubber will seal the intercooler

henrysmith 14 September 2010 04:53 PM

Just had a goooood look. The larger will definitely not fit - is approx 110mm high and the WRX scoop is only 70mm or so. Looks like the mount that sits onto the intercooler (the plate and the rubber trim) could be 'transplanted' onto the WRX one. I'll dismantle the STI one and have a look.

Cheers for the help.

i am not sure mate but if you find out you can get mine as soon as i find a scoop at a good price, i will have a 2003 WRX scoop and undertray going

excuse my ignorance guys but whats the advantage of having a STi undertray?
is it necessary or will a WRX one do? i've just bought an STi intercooler as im planning on getting more horses out of the car with other mods but dont really know about the undertray.

you need the sti undertray to mate as the rubber on the wrx one wont cover all the sti intercooler its smaller

fozi.g 20 September 2010 06:23 PM

so are all the STi 7/8/9 undetrays the same size? or would it be specific to the intercooler...but i believe they're all the same size too?
or maybe i'm totally wrong...
i ask as i've got an 05 WRX blob but have bought a STi 7 bug intercooler so want to know if i have to get the 7 undertray to go with it.

also just another one....would a STi7 bug bonnet scoop fit my WRX blob?:thumb:

im not a 100% sure mate but i think sti 7 scoop is for bugeye you need sti 8 im sure

silverfox72 20 September 2010 08:33 PM

addison if you are still having trouble i can send you some pics of one fitted. Undertray i got fitted straight in so would give u an idea. Let me know.

ps the tray and intercooler made a massive mid range difference on mine.
