Need to upgrade from the standard ic but i really dont want to run a front mount ic. I have been looking on the internet the last few nights for one but most of the TMIC are all from 1996 onwards.

I am not too bad with a spanner so would like one i can just bolt on and not need to bash my bulkhead or fabricate something.

Does anyone know where i can get something like that and not for £900 like the one i did see!

 

your only option if you don't want to bash anything is to fit the intercooler off of the v1/v2 sti as this has a slightly larger end tank and most importantly it gets rid of the horrible restrictive corrugated intercooler inlet pipe with a nice smooth alloy one.

 

Nice one mate, will be looking for breakers right now.

 

is your intercooler the slanty Type?

 

no worries they normally pop up on ebay and sometimes go dirt cheap if you do go for one just make its a proper one (not a wrx one painted silver) and has the alloy feed pipe.

 

No mate, the little black one i think.

 

Tricks of the trade coming out there! Will keep that in mind. Cheers for that.

 

no worrys mate, your intercooler is the slanty one.

 

How hard would one of these be to fit? http://www.flat4online.co.uk/catalog...t-intercoolers

How much would i have to bash out of the way?

 

you would have to bash lots and saw off the DV outlet as that would idle control valve

 

Oh hell, i really dont want a FMIC. Finding a V1 or V2 TMIC is not as easy as i thought! Anyone seen one for sale?

 

I have a v2 TMIC for sale if your intersted, looking for £45 poted, cheers


also does anyone know what has to be done to fit a V6 sti tmic on a 1995 classic, cheers

 

Awesome!! You got PM jeffwrx

 

There use to be a "how to guide" in the projects forum that detailed fitting a V5 tmic to a wrx.

From what i've read on here over the years then if your looking for over 300+ brake from an phase 1 engine then you need a fmic.

There is just as much hastle fitting a later version of tmic (phase 2) than fitting a fmic. I think one of the problems is the inlet manifold being longer on a phase 1 engine.

 

I saw the guide you speak of, thats where i saw how the guy had to bash his bulkhead flat!! All loks like a lot of work.

 

It's not that much work, quite easy really.

 

Hey!! That looks awesome! Did you have to bash or cut the bulkhead?

 

Make an undertray





make your own brackets


cut 5mm off T/B and cooler, its tight but you dont need to touch the bulkhead, i also bought a generic silicone hose for the 90degree hose.

 

Pretty sure this will fit..................

I used the standard Sti 6 bracket that came with the tmic for the passenger side, and the existing bracket for the drivers side.
The bulkhead doesn't need bending, but the metal round the top engine mount needs bending a bit(hidden under the tmic).
Also, i cut the lip off the tmic throttle body join.
I modded the undertray on a facelift bonnet i fitted:

 

Heres the guide i found usefull:
