Rome_STI Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi guys, Jerome from Sydney, Australia here. I had the pleasure of being the guinea pig for this intercooler, it's actually the 08-11 WRX STI intercooler but had to be tested for fitment on a Liberty (or legacy as known everywher else but Australia ). The scoop was the main reason I had to be the guinea pig as it was all measured up on my car. To answer someonone’s earlier question in this thread, we have compared this intercooler to the Perrin top mount, and it is actually half the thickness vertically, but is wider. All in all they seem to be around about the same volume. If you already had the Perrin top mount, it’s debateable whether it’s worth getting the ProcessWest top mount. However if you are looking to upgrade from stock I’d look at what you want to do in the future when you decide which route to take. The ProcessWest unit is particularly advantageous in that it allows upgrading of the turbo more seamlessly. I’m actually in the process of sourcing a turbo, just haven’t decided which one. Was really keen on the Blouch bolt-on but not sure! One important thing to note is I have since had the intercooler brought forward approx. 10-15mm to help with the clearance of my strut brace as it was occasionally knocking with original fitment. Also, I am yet to put the modified turbo flange that the OP has used, mine is vertical rather than angling at the same angle as the intercooler. The brake line was also cut and looped around the silicon pipe rather than hanging over it as it is in my pics below. I also upgraded my BOV to a Greddy Trust Type RZ blow off valve and unfortunately it doesn't fit under the hood, a section of the thermal cover and the splitter has to be cut out so that the top of the BOV can poke through that gap. Still yet to be determined whether this is causing any issues when the engine moves with throttle and when changing gears... PS pics: (will try to find my pics of the BOV and fitment) http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/198643_10150266690785009_668725008_7972639_7634361_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/217528_10150266691030009_668725008_7972644_939228_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/264368_10150266691160009_668725008_7972649_30339_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSpeed Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks Rome_STI! I think there were some subtle differences with the US and AUS models, luckily our brake line (I thought it was the heater line, but didn't look that close) goes down underneath and I didn't have to mess with that. I didn't have a strut brace or upgraded BPV so I was lucky there as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.hicksta Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 My PW TMIC shows up today!!! Question though....do you guys think the hood scoop adapter will work with the Zero Sports Cool Action Hood Scoop Insert? http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Products/CoolActionLegacycomparo.jpg I have one installed at the moment, and based on the pictures I've seen I don't think it will be a problem because it has the same mounting holes. I just don't want this to hold up the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHD vs. RHD is not what I'd call a 'subtle difference'! If that is the brake booster vacuum line, which it looks like, you will not have to worry about this at all.

RallySport Direct Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 My PW TMIC shows up today!!! Question though....do you guys think the hood scoop adapter will work with the Zero Sports Cool Action Hood Scoop Insert? http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Products/CoolActionLegacycomparo.jpg I have one installed at the moment, and based on the pictures I've seen I don't think it will be a problem because it has the same mounting holes. I just don't want this to hold up the install. It should bolt up and fit, however you wont get full benefit out of the intercooler as not you wont be directing any air flow to 2/3 of the core. To get the most efficient flow and performance we suggest running the supplied splitter. Kirill RallySportDirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSpeed Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes, part of the install is to simply remove the splitter from the scoop insert... when doing that the stock or the Zero Sports are going to be exactly the same... I'd probably modify the stock and sell the Zero Sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumfoo1 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 anyone have any logs or documentation showing the ability to run more boost or timing due to the additional cooling capacity or anything supporting that the core works as well as it does on the wrx install with 3x the hood scoop?

I got my PW TMIC last week, and hope to get it installed on Thursday. With any luck, I'll be heading up to get a full tune some time in January. As my tune was limited by the AVO TMIC last time, I think we'll be able to get a good indicator of the additional performance potential from this one (with any luck, we won't be able to find the limits of this one .

SBT Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Anyone resolve the BPV/BOV rubbing issues? If so, what did you do to create separation from the hood liner area? - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It seems that the PW BPV/BOV flange is the only real issue with the TMIC. I switched back to the OEM BPV and it still makes contact. I think the only work around is to put some sort of adhesive cushioning on the area it makes contact. I don't think there's anyway to create separation, but if someone came up with a way I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSpeed Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 The weird thing is I don't get contact with the BPv/BOV and hood, but I have an '05... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.hicksta Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I just went back to OEM BPV, but I may go with a Forge BPV eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
