I belive I remember it being a Version II WRX intercooler.. so that would make it a '95.. IIRC the intercoolers put in the WRX's are all relatively the same up until the Version V.

she looks so sexy. I miss her :( I'm glad she lost all her saab parts and got some subie stuff. Was that Darshu's IC? Yup! We're probbly gonna switch it out with the one North has in a bit since it's in better condition (Apparently the same thing you were planning ;) ). Eric's got some other stuff ...

http://www.kymphan.net/host/06_-_forester_xt_06-08/600/P6130325.jpg You can tell just by the picture alone that the Forester IC is not as deep as a stock WRX one is, so I'd imagine you could probbly fit that one in without much of a problem. I haven't tried for myself however, so I can only guess. ...

Yeah that's a novel idea.. it'd basically have the same function as the ones on the 2.5RS and old sk00l WRX. IIRC the rally cars use some sort of dryer ducting type stuff to funnel air right from the radiator straight out the top of the hood. I can't personally see cooling as a huge problem in these...

Yeah after about an hour and a half of driving in almost 90 degree weather it was a little warm, but only to the level a stock intercooler on a WRX gets. It was a big improvement over the Saab intercooler tho, because when I said "it became hot to the touch" I really meant "it tried t...

It was brought up a few times, and once the install was done we sorta decided there aren't many options to make the hoodscoop bigger without either getting a hoodscoop from a car where it wouldn't quite match the hood anymore, or fabricating one from scratch. As it stands right now, the car will pro...

JDM Intercooler in a Legacy Turbo

Ok, just thought I'd share with you guys. :) We originally were running a Saab intercooler in the Legacy Turbo, although better than stock.. it became hot to the touch after long driving, and so we came to the decision something a little bigger was needed. On a side note, I believe the new Forester ...

New poster :)

Ok, while I'm not an owner of a Legacy Turbo (I have an old sk00l 2.5RS), my friend has just joined the cult.. err club. I'm posting on his behalf, since I am the one who knows more about the car than he does, and I'm helping him spend money on it. ;) Don't worry, its Igg's old Turbo, and I'm making...
