Yes they do fit. Talk to welloiledbeefhooked on here and he can tell you how to do it

andyseston

is it worth doing will i see any benfits out of it or not.

I assume you are talking about a 2005 STi i/c?

andyseston

yes indeed not sure if it would be worth doing.

Yes it is worth doing, Mine on a V5 Type R is running 400bhp, I also have a Carl Davey Splitter/undretray to get the most out of it.

andyseston

looking at it will i have trouble with my sturt brace and clutch master cyl.

You need to cut the Clutch master Cyl down a bit, It wont fit with the STI Strut brace but I am using the Whiteline one. it just fits.

What is the 'Carl Davey' Splitter/undertray, can you not just modify your existing one?

I want to replace my existing 55plate wrx tmic with an sti one, is there a DIY method of modifying the existing undertray to 'open it wider' to fit the sti i/c?

cheers

I fitted a newage uprated IC to my V5, you will need to trim the Clutch master cylinder by about 1 inch. You will also need modified or custom mounting brackets. I fitted mine, it was fiddly, but you CAN get the STI brace back on too



Its deeper than the STI one, not sure of make, but teh guy I bought it off was running 370bhp with it on.......I haven't changed undertray yet tho.....but its on the 'to-do' list

Do you have to drain anything to trim down the cylinder?

sandyRS16i

Yeah, you will need to remove a little bit of fluid, not a lot tho. Also cut the bottom of the plastic, that way you will still be able to retain the fluid height markings and tha cap fitting

Aaaaaaah I get ya my son!

Nicely done. Thank you!

The splitter is here, You cant mod a classic undertray to match the size of the new IC so to get the most out of it you need a new one.

Cheers powerjunki
But I forgot to mention that mine is a 55 plate wrx that i am fitting an 04 sti i/c to, so I need to mod the 55plate tray for the increased size i/c.

Anyone done this???

cheers
