Has a design been agreed upon yet, Danny?

I believe that HDi have bought out Sabre, yes?

I see on their WEBSITE that they have a WRX FMIC that has a 800 x 210 x 100mm intercooler included.

Could be reasonable size for us if it includes the tanks.

Also, intercooler out of the RX7 kit would be an ideal size (if that is core size and the inlet/outlets are in the right position for us) - 660 x 220 x 100mm with 76mm inlet/outlet.

Nope, Saber and HDi are two different companies (although they're only a few suburbs away here in Western Sydney).

Saber is now owned by Fernando Weirhl, who was the driver of the old chrome AutoSalon/Industrie clothing S15. He also owns BBM Motorsports, and the Saber gear is sold out of the same shop-front.

well we are going to try to fit just a fmic 2mrw to see how much clearence we got.

ill keep u guys posted

How did the trial fit go?

Can you see if the guys can use their GT core (but smaller) in the kit?

That's interesting... when I called up "Sabre" from the phone number on their own website, HDi picked up the call.

The FMIC iteself is a GT core

Are you saying a 3 inch piping will reduce response?

It will a bit but not noticeably, Its the damn throttle that reduces response!

I guess it depends what your planned power output is as above 200 you will definitely want the 3 inch.

Hmm, 2.75... interesing.

Glad to hear it will use their GT tube and fin core ;)

Do you know if the piping be from the turbo, from the hard pipe (which is attached to the turbo) or from the passenger side bend (after the "s" shaped section)?

Also, will it go to the throttle body or will have require a certain somebody's 76mm throttle body pipe (no plugs here Scotty)?

Sorry for all the questions Danny... but always inquisitive

No worries mate, by the way you got the earlier model 76mm the current production run is the same as the throttle body, 80mm. Sorry. :D

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
