Intercooler help please
Will a core that is 23x10x4.5 fit on a SC300? It is built for a Supra and I would like to know if someone thinks it will fit our vehicles? I know that it is similar but I would like an expert opinion. The quicker the better since my install happens on Monday.

Sorry to be bringing up a 3 year old thread but hey at least it means I search. I was wondering if anyone knew what the the biggest dimensions an intercooler could be and still fit the SC with no bumper modification. I am worried mainly about width and height and also where the end tanks should be (higher, middle, lower).

12" is a good height and fits well. Your coolant bottle will have to go tho. You can use the side-mounted Supra one or any of the bling aftermarket ones.
This IC is 12"x24". As you can see you can go a little bit wider if you like and you want your inlet/outlet at the bottom.
Good luck!

Either way, don't size your intercooler after the coolant bottle. Size the cooler to your needs, everything else will find a way after.

Thank you guys again. Now would anyone happen to know if there is an intercooler kit that would be fairly close to bolting right up for a stock 1jz gte (with stock twins) to the front mount. Also would anyone who has done possibly know what type of bends I would need if i decided to go with making my own kit or buying one of those "universal" kits from fleabay.

The closest kit (IC wise) will be an NA-T kit for the SC like Boostlogic's.
If you want to make your own pipes, you'd need 11 j-bends or 6 u-bends for an NA-T setup. For 1JZ it would be about the same tho the piping will be very different. Add a bend if you want to go out of the way and run the extra piping thru the stock fender hole as opposed to cutting your own which makes a shorter, more direct path to the FMIC. No sense in using the side hole for the SMIC.
I'd buy an IC for the SC and then the pipes for a Supra TT. You'd need to tweak a few pipes but it should be minimal and the easiest way to an FMIC upgrade on a 1JZ'd SC.
