Bing Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 bug eye WRX with VF35, STI inj etc running circa 1.3bar? Obviously the STI one would be a good starting point but im wondering if there are any other TMIC's out there, new or second hand for between £200 - £300 that would have any advatages over the STI one? Anyone got any suggestions?
p1ggm Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 XS Power do a cheap one, not sure what it like thou, but it looks good, and its big too
p1ggm Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 http://www.xs-power.co.uk/product_info.php...009ae646b7ebf62
Bing Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 Agreed, certainly looks the part but is bigger always better?!?!?!?!?!
p1ggm Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 mate has a huge hyperflow top mount, and he loves it
p1ggm Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 will you get a hyperflow for 2-300 quid thou??
IanJ Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Seen these ones and wondered how good they are http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOP-MOUNT-INTERCOOL...1QQcmdZViewItem
paddy247 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Might be pushing it m8, maybe a second hand one yeh
Bing Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 Ian, looks good too But is it just me or does it look exactly the same as the turbo XS one
IanJ Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 You'll probably find it comes from the same manufacturer in China as the XS one as a lot of things do these days!
Rice Rocket Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 That XS one looks good, but will i fit with a strut brace? Ricey
Bing Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 Aye it does fit with a strut brace, but from some of the pictures Ive seen the left hand side of the intercooler is just balancing on the frame, so its only fixed at on side and held on by the 2 hoses......
Gumball Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I would just get the STI one again. that will support 350+ i was reading last night, so i have no idea what mine is doing. maybe its under serious pressure? lol Ill take it off and give it to you as soon as my fmic gets ordered if you want. where is tacoma? christmas
chris_c201 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Chris, thought you were going back to standard, now an FMIC...... its all v confusing! You ordered your Spec C yet!?!? Bing, I thought you already had an STi intercooler, ??
Gumball Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 its just a game. gone are the days where i will crave debt to mod my car. i have good power and followed andyf, and alan G into the 400+ bracket. now i just do what i do and dont take it as it comes. I said standard to avoid questions. no spec c yet either, just a fmic and some other bits and bobs along the way. C
Bing Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 Chris, ive had more STI top mounts than hot dinners, but i need 1 more by the looks of it Christopher, Sounds good provided your mods arrive quicker than a box of cheetas,( judging by your power output I hope the inside of you intercooler doesnt look like the inside of mount St Helens!!!!!)
wilky Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Unless you are going chasing muchos power, as Chris said, stick with the STI topmount, unless someone throws you a custom one for silly money which is unlikely to happen. See howe much an STI 8 one will skin you and give yourself a figure above that you can afford, if you can get hooked up with a Hyperflow second hand which I have heard and seen good things of, (Robin H2O wire guided boredom had one) the XS one in aus looks like the early MRT ones which were copied by the chinese dudes etc etc etc. I doubt however you will get a second hand hyperflow but you can always look. Tacoma is in Washington state in the USA, about 30 min south of Seattle, there is a cowboy bar there called McCabes which is very coolio, on a monday night they play normal chart music. Its the only time in my life I have seen 200 people line dance in unison to the Chemical Brothers. Callum
chris_c201 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Chris, I thought that, seems like your "plans" come under a lot of scrutiny, suppose people asking questions like mine doesn't help lol.... Bing, You building up an intercooler graveyard? Strange hobby! []
Gumball Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 []used to crack me up but now i think its better to keep the world guessing
fai17 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 []used to crack me up but now i think its better to keep the world guessing I like your style m8. Think i'm on the fmic and egine rebuild with unknown turbo route sooner than i think.....watch this space.
