I saw some posts a few days ago touching on this subject.... but ... I am
thinking of going to air to air i/c from water to air and was wondering
which year WRX's I should be looking at for the intercooler or if I should
get one from a twin turbo legacy?
Let me know what you guys think I know I wont have a problem getting what
ever...
Cheers,

Air 2 Air I/C Fitment
I once priced a new factory twin turbo i/c and I recollect it was about
USD900.
Given that you have to modify either a twin turbo or WRX i/c to fit, I would
have thought you could make your own more cost effectively. The actual
intercooler element is basically pumbing, air-con, etc technology, with the
more complex part being the actual mounting brackets and fixtures... sure
you would need cleverness in design and skill in aluminum / steel
fabrication.
Much of the same work would go into modifying a factory one, but if you
prsue that route, I would go for the WRX. The twin i/c has two inlets and a
primary turbo check valve flap, to bypass / modify.
Depending on what purpose you have for your car, I would suggest a front
mount i/c... not all that hard to perform, if you are engineering inclined.

Air 2 Air I/C Fitment
I was going to get the unit through Subaru Access 4x4 and modify it amongst
me and some friends. I would go front mount with a VR4 or early EVO unit
except I dont want the increased lag or plumbing that I will incur with the
front mount
Maybe thought depending on whatI can get a wrx unit for from Subaru Access.
the purpose for the car is mostly street and a bit of track (tracks days
etc) and after I finish plying with the various bits and pieces I am going
to give the car to my fianc'e who is looking forward to the finished
product.
The WRX manual gearbox and diff is going to find its way into my wagon in
the next few months. (have to get over christmas and pay those christmas
bills first)
Oh... downpipe goes in this friday hopefully time permitting..

Air 2 Air I/C Fitment
Cause water to air is not that efficient once boost starts to get up there,
besides my unit is 9 years old and I am sure it is excellent for what it was
designed to do but I do not know how the seals are going to hold up under high
boost , high load. I could always modify a group A WRC water to air i/c from a
st205 celica gt-four/all -trac, if I wanted to be tricky.

efficient............. i know a guy who used to do track work with his RS
