What part of SC are you from? I have a 93 GS300 that will be turbo soon, but I'm not just swapping in the 2jzgte motor, it will be a big single. I'm in Myrtle Beach.

No idea Sonny. I'll be doing a fmic with 3" piping. I would asume it is in the area behind the passenger headlight. It looks like an indent there that would be punched out in the Aristo to run the charge piping thru.

Post some more pics of your car.. is that silver Volks on the front I see? How far along in the swap are you? Are you using the Supra A/T?

I havent touched mine yet. In the planning stages right now, but I have had the GTE motorset for months.

Good luck.. I'll be getting into mine soon.. but not soon enough.. need boost

Default the stock IC goes....

On the passenger side inside fender...If you look at the passenger inner fender you will see vents..The intercooler goes in the open area in there..The piping is ran through the firewall on the upper inside of the fender were a factory harness is ran through, the hole simply needs to be made bigger..Thats for the upper piping and the lower piping, you need to make a hole for the piping to exit..A hole-saw can be used to make the hole. Hope this helps...
