V7 STI Intercooler into bc/gc

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

have had a bit of a look through the forum but a lot of old links no longer accessible.

Has anyone got a good link or writeup for fitting a v7 STI top mount into a bc5/gc8? I've convered my RS manifold to v3/4 and am currently running an ARC top mount but looking to make the most out of my future tune (link G4, injectors etc) without going front mount.

 

I'm looking for instructions where it uses the later model clutch reservoir as i would rather replace with a new unit than take a grinder to the existing set up.

 

Cheers

I cant locate the link I used but from memory the things you need to do are.

 

Offset clutch cylinder or cut the stock reservoir down and clamp it back to cylinder.

Modified mounting brackets.

Longer turbo to intercooler hose.

You need to shorten the hose from intercooler, to intake manifold so tmic can fit in between fire wall.

Possibly need to run aftermarket bov, or make your own hose to recirc the stock v7 bov. 

V7 intercooler splitter, you will need to drill new mounting holes to make this fit your bonnet.

May need to put some rubber on the gearbox pitch stop mount to stop intercooler from rubbing or rattling on it.

 

I think that's mostly it.

Awesome, thanks very much. Regarding the clutch cylinder, does it have to be V7 STI? or would any GD/GG one work?

I believe any v7 one will work. I think @Niran had a for sale listing with v7 master cylinder. Think he had a few other parts for the conversion that came out of his restore project. I sold my complete v7 intercooler conversion kit to the previous owner of his type R project.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
