ver7 tmic into a ver5

[QRAF]

Has anyone done it? can it be done? whats involved?

I've seen a lot of mint ver7/8 sti TMIC on trademe and i was wondering what would be involved in swapping it with my ver5?

[driftrex]

lots of people done it bro, all you need is the intercooler and brackets to go with it, it may foul on the clutch reservior but then you just go buy the later model one. not much to it.

The race car Ichi Ban looks after has one (might be V8)... and from what he describes it is more involved. The i/c fouled at the back on either the strut brace and or the fire wall. he had to push the block forward about 50mm or something as well as the gearbox...

just relaying second hand what he said. Ask him for truth

[QRAF]

yeah i heard it rubs against the strut brace but apparently some washers should give it more space?

yeah and i knew about the clutch reservoir.

but bugger that if you have to move the block or gearbox.

bro there is a nice write up on the american forum where they have the pics and all - didnt have to move the box or anything

they had the parts list and method etc

it was on a v5 i think too lol

i did a clubsub search but couldn't find anything i guess i should of done a google search

i just remember nztintin was going to put one on his forester but never did i was just wondering what the issue were.

Dude, this is not a simple bolt-in job.

There were several threads on old CS, now gone into the static so...

its on the nasoic site where there is the good write up

from the writeup it seems to be a series of steps that u need to follow

maybe read it up first and then decide if its ok for u to do or not....

[newsuba]

Bear in mind the Nasoic write-up relates to LHD cars, some of the plumbing is different to our RHD Soobs.

Tintin did get it one in his Foz, just it fouled on a few things and required modification (bov and some other pluming from what I remember) He also modded an sti strut brace but im not sure if that was just to fit the fozzy or because of the i/c

i like this one might have to do this when i change the exhaust

[Pappu1]

u can always get a GDB brace and mod it...

but yea i have seen it in another car but cannot remember who..

hmm was it a B4...i think it was but may have been a bolt on i think not 100% sure

[GC8E2DD]

Hmm, Funky, I don't think that is a Subaru IC

arr too true! why'd i think it was, either way i think it still fouls

[QRAF]

i also noticed i'm going to have to find my turbos heat shield :

Is the tdo4 shield the same as the vf22 ???

[Pappu1]

it may fit - lol.. i didnt see any difference in the sizes but then it was just a eyecrometer measurement

[QRAF]

yeah didn't think they would be a different size i was thinking about putting a legacy one on as they have that trumpet that would direct the airflow better.

but there turbos are different so not 100% sure

found a ver7 tmic for $200 in mint condition any difference between wrx and sti?

i also found a full stainless exhaust for $400-500 owe the dilemma :

[marc]

I used a v7 non sti intercooler on my V5 sti and it fitted with minimal effort and was bigger then my std V5 sti cooler. I just welded a alloy 90deg bov elbow off a v4 cooler onto it for more bov choice and clerence.

not trying to be a dick but did you ask to put those photos up?

[QRAF]

bringing it back i put my deposit down on a after market TMIC i'll post up some pic when i get home.

its already on a ver6 so i know it fits and i'm getting all the brackets and joiners with the deal i still know i have to remote the master cylinder but i'm going to see if i can get his one as well and just swap mine.

[QRAF]

pictures

everything you see is available for the right price i'm sure

next purchase will be that red intake for the turbo

it has by the looks a brand new TD05 but don't quote me on that.

i think i got the same TMIC as those bolt on the front look in the same place.

When i went in to buy it the guy said i was getting a good deal he would of sold it to me for $650 so i'm glad i didn't go to him and picked it up for $300 with all the brackets and the silicon hose connection for the throttle body.

$650 is way too step, you could have a custom one made for less than that lol, but good deal on the $300.
