I was checking the ic lower hoses and I found out there's a huge crack on the hose that goes to the turbo. My supra is 87 and I was wondering if this hose is different for 89 supra
question
- Thread starter blacksupra
- Start date
The hose directly off the intercooler is different. The hose from the metal pipe bolted to the chassis going to the turbo should be the same.
Bish, I thought it was the upper piping from the i/c to the tb that was different. Are both different? Anyone have pics of the early and late i/c side by side?
Both are different. The actual 87-88 intercooler is different then the 89+ intercooler as far as piping, the actual cores are identical.
I know that the i/c to throttle body piping is different, and what's different about it. However, I don't know what's different between the turbo to i/c piping. Could you be more specific, please? I have been making a lower hardpipe kit as I thought they were all the same there, if I need to make a change please fill me in as to what it is.
Thanks.
Thanks.
It's been a long time since I saw the 87-88 intercooler, but as I recall the end tank metal pipe actually extends much further then the 89+. The routing is near identical but the pipes are different lengths.
Ok, thanks! This very well may work fine then. The i/c coupler is 5 inches to make for easy installation, so maybe it will just need to be a bit shorter. I still want to get ahold of an early Supra and test fit though.
