safcdixon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-2JZGTE-FRONT-MOUNT-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-KIT-/220826728374?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336a4c77b6 I've just bought one of these on Monday turned up yesterday, looks decent quality as does the pipework and hoses, only thing is theres no mounting brackets with it, so I'm gonna have too make some. I'm gonna fit it today when I get in from work il post up how I get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_k Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks for your comments Is the SRD one worth twice as much though? Let me know how you get on safcdixon that would be great Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistermann Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have one of the japspeed kits - and I'm happy with it, quality seems fine and i've been running it for a few months with no problems (famous last words) But I also had to mount it myself as only the pipes and intercooler came in my kit, I also continously check the bolts to make sure they are tight too. Probably something you should do with any intercooler pipework though. I think there are issues with having the stock airbox with these kits. If you've got an induction kit then you'll be fine. One of the intercooler pipes cuts straight across where the stock airbox pipes run. I ripped my old smic and airbox and installed this one, induction kit and cold air feed in about 4hours...watch those knuckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I got an AFR one and would recommend, the pipes have been welded nicely by AFR aswell to decrease a chance of a pipe blowing off. IMO, anything less the £400 is likely to not be a brilliant fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Is your Whifbitz one knackered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 All finished not too bad took me 4hours I made two brackets too to mount it, the pipes are a good fit the couplings are a good fit too but! I didn't know that you don't get the throttle body coupler, tbh if I had the money, I would have went for the srd one because you get the bracketry, water bottle relocation kit and probably a throttle body coupler!!!!

Homer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Looks pretty, but you really need to add some ducting to that mate It's not going to do a very efficient job of cooling as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm about to release my own "budget" FMIC kit, its going to be an exact copy of the now discontinued Greddy LS intercooler, when I say exact copy, its from the same manufacturer that used to make it for Greddy. Price should be around £300 + VAT as well! Let me know if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the intercooler plate, what else can be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Whichever you choose, check it will fit with the stock airbox first. The IC pipes on some kits will not fit around the stock airbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
