You noticed the IC is sitting little high is because the top outlet needs to clean the bumper beam. Here is a top view of the IC

We did some work on the SC400 yesterday and today I installed the twin turbo intercooler. This is dual 2.5" inlets and single 3" outlet. This a bar and plate intercooler with top to bottom configuration. I am into more of function instead of fashion. This FMIC would be your typical Bling Bling rice look but it will do the job.

Thanks Ryan,

I would love to meet up in Texas perhaps next year. Us old folks want effeciency and performance. Young guys into looks. Tappered ends are very important to minimized boost drop. According to Treadstone this intercooler is supposely able to support 1,250 bhp.

Scott,

Ryan and I have been talking about meeting up in Texas for the past 5 years. We want to create a HUGE Lexus meet where East Coast and West Coast can join together and do some drags, show and just chat. The battle of the SC400 Twin Turbo too.

"Old Folks"??? Speak for yourself... Maybe you are old, but I am still young...you're not old until you hit 70... Yeah, my intercooler is built very similarly, just a bit taller, with the same tapered ends...Nice look...

If Scott, Ryan, and David will all be in the same place, I would like to be there as well. I would put my SC on a trailer and haul it down to Texas to meet up with three giants of the Lexus V8 community.
