Yes it will fit, but you will have to trim the hood latch bracket... Also, you will have to figure out what to do about an over flow tank for your radiator... Here is a pic of mine, you can see how I mounted it with welded on tabs... I can get you pics of the hood latch bracket if yuo need it...
why do u need that big of an intercooler, how much power are u going for. if your not going for over 600hp i would stick with a 3''. but it's all up to u
Here are some pics of mine, it's the 3" thick one, but the 4" would bolt up just the same (I will probably go bigger in the future). The 4" thick one will have a greater pressure drop (more lag with the same size turbo) than the 3", but I don't know by how much.
No. It has no bearing on the turbo's response. Too big of piping probably will slow down the intake track at some point.t4boost said:
Changing from W2A/2.5" pipes to 24x12x4" thick A2A/3" pipes dropped my spool 1>200 rpm without the EBC and 300 rpm with it.
Gilsdorf: How do you figure MORE pressure drop with the larger core? :wtf:

Ok so long as I have good flow there should be no "lag". I have a Q45 TB was debaiting on what size intercooler to get. I knew I was getting a 3in inlet/outlet with 3in pipe but some one told me that all that was going to take a lot of time to fill up and create pressure.
Unless you are shooting for +20 psi and +600 HP you're wasting your time with ANY IC piping over 2.5". You want to keep the flow as close as possible to critical velocity to be efficient. It's going to be hard to do that with 3" piping if you are daily driving the supra. 2.5" piping should keep in in critical velocity in the meat of your powerband if you don't go any higher than 20 psi.
