I knew you guys had to be out there I am putting a t4 turbo with intercooler on my 92 sc300, and am going to need some guidance

 

Welcome to the site.

 

Sweet. Now the car just needs wheels!

 

Piecing a kit together?

 

I would have looked at a few setups on here and on SupraForums for ideas on routing the IC piping. But thats just me. That exhaust housing is huge.

Yeah, I would really consider redoing that intercooler piping....what kit did you start off with?

 

meh, that intake piping looks pretty close to the exhaust housing. Is there any space left there?

Best site so far for NA-T stuff

I searched and searched for routing Best I could come up with, all the brackets are now made, and front back on. Yes, I pieced together a kit. My biggest concern is going to be the ECM I think. And yes, the turbo was touching the intake on that pic, the top of the header has been shaved 1/8 inch, and the bottom of the turbo 1/8 inch, so now there is clearance


Have any good pics of intercooler piping in there??

 

i have never seen it routed like that. shouldn't that pipe be coming down through behind the passenger headlight. Im sure you can do it anyway, but you want to minimize the piping .

 

Any good pics of the routing that way? I have not been able to locate any.

 

Check out www.clubna-t.com
tons of info there.

 

here see this thread, cury just finished his, pretty good pics

looks to be about the same amount of piping?? Since I do have a the holes there already, I think I will keep it this way. I am running electric fans, so shouldnt be a problem.

 

lol i just posted that link the other day....

 

i would switch it, unless you have the other pipe routed good too.
haven't tried to do it myself, but ive seen alot of pics of setups and i've never seen one cross over to the other side of the intercooler.

plus it looks cooler when the pipes kind of dissapear to the sides

just leave that long pipe connected to the intake on, and use the pipes right after the right angle coupler for the hot side. just a suggestion. good luck!
