its possible, you can run it with carbs or convert to injection, both do work.

Do you only have the SC12? If so, then you've got a problem. The SC12 isn't like your average Jackson Racing type SC where it replaces your entire IM. Instead, Toyota put the SC as a standalone unit with the IM, SC and TB all as separate parts. This allowed them to run a IC on the GZE. Basically after your air filter, the route went TB -> SC -> IC ->IM. Unfortunately, even if you got all the equipment, you still might not be able to make it work, since all the brackets holding the SC and such are made for the G head, and you would have to make a custom IM to fit the 4A-F ports.

Then there's the problem of fuel delivery. Since you're running a carb, you've got to ask yourself: "Can this thing take boost?" If it doesn't, you've got two options: get one that can, or make a draw through setup. The problem with the draw through setup is that you're compressing air/fuel mixture. Since it's compressed, it's hot. And since it's hot, you possibly run the risk of predetonation, and grenading your engine. Mind you, I'm not really well versed in carbs, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

And how were you planning on driving the SC?

Well you can pressurize the carb, by taking a boost hose and putting it into the float chamber. and basically installing the SC12 would be exactly like putting a turbocharger into the car.
