I have a question for anyone who has used a 2jz itercooler kit on a 1jz swap in a MKIII Supra. What generally needs to be modified to make it work or fit? I found a 2jz kit I may go with, but just want to be sure it will work.
2jz Intercooler Kit on 1jz
- Thread starter Marotta1
- Start date
I had to fabricate a custom intercooler mount, and cut the pipe that went to the throttle body about an inch.
I actually found a jza80 front mount kit for the same price shipped as a universal kit. It comes with everything (couplers, mounting hardware, clamps, etc.) and has an intercooler with Greddy style end tanks. So far it looks better than anything else I have seen, so I think I may try it out.
Thanks for the replies everyone. :thumbup:

If you're looking for a cheap alternative for an intercooler kit, this would NOT be it, but I figured I sould explain in a little detail how I fit the JZA80 kit into my JZA70:
The kit, HKS R-Type JZA80 intercooler kit. 12x24x4" core, 2.5" piping on hot side, 3" on cold. Even comes with a power steering cooler relocation.
Fitted in the front of the car:
connection to the throttle body. This had to be cut back an inch, that was the only modification to the kit:

Not a terribly good picture, but this gives you a little idea of the space behind the intercooler. On top, you can see the custom bar I made to mount the IC to the stock mounts. It also replaces the hood latch support bar, which got in the way.
Here's where the piping with the kit terminates, just beside the alternator.
A small piece of pipe had to be fabricated to go from the turbo to the pipe here. Obviously the kit can't be 100% with every turbo.
