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.

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
