is there anythig i should worry about, imma change my tranny oil so i was wondering if there any precautions or fluids i should be aware of. Also is there any installl instruction i can see. I cant find any on scoobymods, just the how to on changing the oil.

thanks brandon

 

Actually you can change your tranny fluid without taking the IC off. What you do is, go buy a hand oil pump with long hose from autopart store and just pump the fluid in the digstick hole. You will figure it out man. If not, drop me a pm.

 

hey thanks

 

There are directions there on scoobymods, I just did mine on my F-XT too and there is no need to remove the IC as stated, just use a funnel and some tygon tubing.

Pretty much the same on the WRX, How to here:

PS since Scoobies are pretty much the same across the line when working on many things, Legacy, Impreza and Forester it's best to search scoobymods and not just look in a particular section.

lol thanks peaty yeah i was just looking at wrx at scoobymods. i will make a note next time to make sure and search across the board

just to add, that was a great link, and exquisit detail

 

Yeah, peaty is awesome in that way

 

lol, i think someone is jealous

 

how long does it take to take of the tmic, when switching dp, the tmic should be removed, but how hard is it

 

not very hard

 

Easy, 2 bolts on the sides of the intercooler and then 3 on the front holding on those hoses. Then all you have left are the throttle body hose clamps and the home clamp on the turbo. The real ***** I've found is getting it all back on! Trying to get the throttle body hose connected and y hose under the intercooler connected back on to the turbo is a real pain There might be some trick to it, but I haven't figured it out.

 

thanks

 

You shouldn't have to take off the tmic to switch downpipes, I switched mine out without taking the tmic off with no problem. I would try to put the pipe in without taking the tmic off first, then if you can't, take off the tmic.

 

The trick is to heat up the stock one, or get a silicone Y hose and put it back on in two seconds!

 

Actually, I got a silicone hose kit (y pipe, throttle body, bov) from rallitek.com. I couldn't decide if I wanted the Perrin one or the other one they offer (GPMoto?) because there was about a $50 price difference. I think I made the mistake and went for the cheaper one. The fitment of the y-pipe totally sucks. With the hose clamped down to the two inlets under the intercooler, there isn't enough hose to get it to fit nicely on the turbo. I spent hours trying to get it back on.
