Recently I was called by Tony (ACleanSC and his cousin Dr. Mike) to help him
measure the SC300 for a nice huge intercooler. I was honored and
we did some measurements. The SC is so nice and allow such a huge
space for intercooling. Tony's SC300 is powered by the MKIV Supra 2JZGTE
with 5 speed. He is about to swap a 6 speed sitting in his garage
collecting dust. After 3 weeks, the huge intercooler arrived.
Initially I told myself, damn its too big and we made a mistake. Its
too long and too tall and lots of cutting will be involved. This
morning we made an appointment to a local muffler which I know them pretty
well. With the front bumper removed and all those misc. wires move to
aside temporary, we managed to
uninstall the front bumper
in less than 30 minutes. We made
few mock installation and the intercooler fit perfectly. If an
additional 1/2" in any direction would be too big and lots of cutting
would be involved. The intercooler is 12" x 32" x 3" with 3" in and
outlet. This is a custom made intercooler specifically for the
SC300/400. Beside the huge front mount intercooler (FMIC), we also
redo all the pipings. Take a pictorial journey with us and enjoy:
I would give this project a two thumbs up. I did not do much, but Tony and his cousin Dr. Mike have a done a great job. If you are interested in this front mount intercooler for your Lexus SC300 or SC400. Please contact me.
Once again, I would like to thank Tony allowing me to host his project in this site. I dedicated a section just for this topic
