Caboobaroo Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well I finally was able to get my WRX intercooler installed and some pics taken of it. Check it out... http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2381973490067339125eJPOCR http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2832625290067339125qbmuhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Looks good, how did you mount it to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ok I added links to the first post so you can just go to them. Anyways, its actually not mounted to the car yet but there is almost NO play whatsoever. I can move it around maybe an inch total since the piping is doing a pretty sweet job of keeping it still. I am going to be adding in a IC sprayer and possibly a boost controlled fan as well but those will come later on. I'm eventually going to make a strut tower brace that will have mounting points in it for the IC but until then, I'll ride it like this. The piping I used was: a cut Samco Y-pipe from a WRX a 8" piece of exhaust tubing about 2 1/8" a Samco IC -> TB hose a reducer I got from a fuel filler neck a stock EA82T TB hose Now I just need to get my butt in gear and get this thing timed:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That all looks pretty familiar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 That all looks pretty familiar... I know which is funny cause I never looked at the engine bay pic of your RX until just recent. I had most of it laid out for a few months but I just needed the reducer to go from the IC to the TB. Looks rather similar if you ask me;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 I like the way it came out. Granted, she sits a little crooked but that can be fixed with messing around with the piping a bit. Granted you can't see it but my pitch stopper is in there. I think it was for an automatic but I forget what the XT had in it that I got the intake from. I had to modify it cause the clutch fork was hitting it pretty good but all is well. Now that I scored some almost new front axles, some 2 pot calipers and a few other things, I'll be tearing into the front end again to replace some stuff, get my swaybars installed and to make sure everything is tightened down before I really start gettin on it. Oh, I also gotta get the brakes bled, get it registered and get an alignment done. Wow, still a bunch of small crap to do but she runs, and run good she does!

Jerry DeMoss Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Really nice job cab. I can't wait to see it.How much boost are you set up with right now?Looks like it will be a good runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Really nice job cab. I can't wait to see it.How much boost are you set up with right now?Looks like it will be a good runner. right now, since I have yet to mod the fuel system, I'll be running stock boost. I will still be making more power though since the TD04 flows a lot more then the stock IHI RHB5 that was in there. I might have to crank up the boost a bit to make it fun though:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
