Default intercooler fitment on the SC300 using MKIV kits

Hey does any body know if the greddy 3 row FMIC intercooler for the Supra can fit in the SC that has the 2JZ-GTE swap. If not what steps are needed to be taken in order for it to fit. Or should I go with an HKS FMIC intercooler and get the universal pipe kit and fit it together. Please, if any body that has any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I just about ready to pull the 2jz-ge out and swap it. So at the I am racking head tring to figure out how I am I supposed to get this al done.


P.S. Thanks for the input on the tach adapter quikturbo that info was very helpful,


Sincearly,
Adriel

The Greddy 3-Row for the supra is supposed to fit, and the piping shoud be just right.

I've heard the Supra TT Intercooolers will fit. Just minor bracket modifications need to be made for the SC chassis.

There is a JZZ30/SC300 specific kit from GReddy or HKS though if you have time to wait and don't feel like making the modifications, lol.

We had to lengthen one of the pipes of my GReddy 3 row kit to make it fit. I think we had to lengthen it 5" but it was no big deal.

Ok sorry that it took so long to reply.....working on the car. So I see that most of you say that it will fit just fine. Well how do you guys deal with the power steering return hose that get in the way of the intake pipe's track. I know that the kit comes with power steering relocation lines but how did any of you guys make any clearance. It seems that I am either going to have route brand new lines on my own, or purchase almost the entire p/s line assembly from toyota. please let me know how you guy solved this problem, pictures would definatly help me figure it all out, cause after taking the old motor and bummper off I did some looking around and was racking head with small ideas and drawn sketches and pretty much got no where. Please help me cause I realy want to take advantage of a FMIC there so sweet.

Thanks,
Adriel

Glad I could help Adriel.

By the way, I had to add a bit of length to my lower ic pipes as well. Similiar to what Angle mentioned.

Good luck on the swap.

Similar question, what about the ic pipes from a mkiv smic will the intake side fit on a sc300 or will it need to be modified?

Thanks.

The stock TT sidemount fits perfectly in the stock MKIV location. You just neet intercooler pipes made to fit. All the holes in the body work arr already there. All you need is a simple straight plate metal bracket just a few inches long, easy to make on your own.

Anyone try a Greddy 4 row or HKS type R??? Afterall, if you're gonna do it, you might as well not stop half way. Especially given the minor price difference.

Scott, not sure if it's even worth it to spring for that monster Type R, Lar made 843 rwhp on a Type S, seems to be a very efficient unit, he said he feels it's plenty. Gazi, that's great news, now it'll be four NA-T's representin' NY, better bring some drag radials to the next meet ...
