Hey guys, I'm in the process of swapping my 1GGTE out for a 1JZGTE vvti, I know about the engine and stuff and how it's not the best for tuning etc, but I'm not worried about that. I'm putting this into my 1990 mk3 supra RHD I have everything to do swap it came with ecu, uncut harness r154 tranny engine etc etc. just not an intercooler. I already spent quite on getting this engine and I will if I have to buy a new intercooler but my question is that if I could use the stock intercooler that came on my 1ggte, or is it to small?? And I saw cx racing makes an intercooler kit for the 1jz vvti that's a fairly good price, the reviews were pretty good.. Reading up that it would be fine for stock turbo running stock boost but it was made for the 1991+ soarer , could I get it to fit on my mk3 ? Anyone have any info they can give me or tips/advice
The cx racing kit will work but you will have to make custom mounting brackets. the brackets that come with the kit are a joke.
yeah I bought a DM intercooler kit and I heard it's very similar to the CX racing, it's definately not a "bolt-on" kit, it mounted to my intakes fine with the couplers but underneath I had to hack up two pipes and get an extra coupler to have it all fit right and I pretty much mounted like the stock one.
Good to see another MK3 going 1J VVTi 
Any intercooler kit made for the JZA70 will be fine, with the exception that the hot side (turbo to intercooler) will have to be modified/fabricated for the different position of the turbo outlet. The throttle body is in exactly the same place however so should bolt straight up.
