ST-165 intercooler info needed - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm looking to find out what the specs on the stock intercooler are. In particular, inlet/outlet sizing, efficiency stats if anyone has them, max flow rates, again if they've ever been tested.

I'm contemplating options including using a pair of these for a TT project on my Supra...would be far cheaper than the spearco's I've priced to date, and they Toyota nameplates on them would look more like they belong.

I think they're top mount on the 3S-GTE. I could be wrong.

ok...that part I knew, but thanks. I need the technical side of the deal rather than the appearance data.

2 top mounts? Woowo gonna looks pretty good.
Sorry don't have the data you need

Wouldn't be top mounted for mine...they would be tucked into the current air filter location by the headlight, either side by side or one on top of the other, depending on what fit there best. Means a little more plumbing than the single larger Spearco would, but would physically fit in the location better.

Oh I though you gonna have two scoop on the hood

Isn't all the extra pipe and bends gonna reduce efficiency and pressure?

Supra front mount IC piping is just about 10 feet long from turbo to throttle plate...My plans will make it less than 5 round trip...no bends or pipes inside the engine bay are gonna be worse than that!
