Smiler AS Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) As the title says, going for JDM STI intercooler on my WRX. Can get hold of STI undertrays, but they dont seem to have a rubber shroud and rubber seal like the WRX's have? Is this normal for the STI's (ie. they dont have a shroud and seal) because of the larger intercooler? Edited: Might have found a hood and under tray / shroud combo from a Blobeye STI, can anyone / someone take pics of their Blobeye scoop from above and below to see if its similar to a Hawkeye scoop, some say yes and some say no??? Thank you, Edited November 28, 2008 by Smiler AS
bobbyc Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Ring Karl at power supply & he will sort you out http://www.psupply.co.uk/ 01684 292555 He will get you the larger rubber seal, just use the plastic fasteners from the old one to attach it to the zero sports undertray, Karl can supply both if your stuck.

Bobby Yeh, night have to end up doing that. Didnt really want to pay for a new undertay if it can be helped, just get a STI one (complete one even better) but if he can do just the the larger rubber seal that might be an option. Bobby, Cheers for the info recently BTW, looks like im following the same route as you shortly, even going to use Hypertech too. Edited November 28, 2008 by Smiler AS
Richie Cross Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) I've got a MY05 Blobeye WRX and recently fitted the larger scoop and undertray that came off a Blobeye STI. Think I might've read that you have to stick with the same model??? Don't know what the Hawkeye is like. Is the JDM TMIC the same as say STI v9 etc? I've got an STI TMIC so got the right MY version for the undertray so that the rubber seal was the same fit. I think earlier STI's had smaller TMICs. If you don't have the right fit of rubber seal, I don't think you'd be getting the best out of the TMIC??? IIRC Oh...you can get an undertray for £65. Not sure if they come with the seal http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/pdeta...sp?ID=100865370 Edited November 28, 2008 by Richie Cross

If you count the cells on the top mount....should have 33. Found an old messge from David at DR Motorsport. He said that the scoops were unique to each model, so that's why I had to get the Blobeye STI for my WRX Blobeye. So, based on that....a hawkeye wouldn't fit a Blobeye....unless someone will come along and tell us differently!

Didn't bother checking earlier when it looked like you were looking for a JDM one.
Smiler AS Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Looks like im almost sorted out now, the Hawkeye WRX and STIs have same scoop so sticking with OEM top scoop and might be able to get a JDM undertray to match TMIC. Edited November 30, 2008 by Smiler AS
