Front mount intercooler and hard pipes for a 1997 SC300 with a 2JZGTE
Hey guys and gals, I have a 1997 SC300 that is going to be getting a 2JZGTE transplant in the next few months and I have been searching high and low and still cant find or figure out these 2 questions.
1. What is the best Front mount intercooler if I plan to keep the stock JDM twins and push around 320-350 WHP???
2. Where can I buy that intercooler?? (Ebay??)
3. Where do I find intercooler piping that will fit my SC???
4. Do I just buy a supra front mount kit?? and it will fit??
I appreciate everyones help. I work alot and im trying to do this swap at the same time and just want to make 100% sure I have everything before I start.

I wonder if you realize that if you stick w/JDM or USDM twins with those modest hp numbers there is nothing to gain installing the FMIC. You might even see some loss. The complete SMIC with pipes is very effective at modest hp and inexpensive to boot.

Yea I understand and this might be a funny answer to you guys but "I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT HAVING A FRONT MOUNT" LOL hahaha, pretty childish sorry.
Hey Idrewfelix, do I buy a supra universal kit?? and why do I need to get it welded?? or is that just so I dont use the rubber connectors.

yea, i bought a kit off of ebay for a sc300 (came out of australia). then just took it to my mechanic and had him do a little cutting and fitting to make it work a little better. but a universal kit should do you just fine i would think. also, no, you dont have to get the whole thing welded together. just a couple pieces that way you dont have 8 different pipes and a lot of connectors, just simplify things a bit

i dont think theres a difference between a universal kit and a supra universal kit...
as for intercooler size, just dont go to big. heres a complete kit on ebay right now, doesnt seem to bad a deal:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-T...spagenameZWD1V
the store is pretty reputable, ive bought stuff from them before
