4age to 4agze swap

vberrett · 08-24-2006, 01:09 PM

I am getting ready to do a NA to supercharged swap in my 87 MK1. I am curious to know if there will be room for the intercooler if I stick with my stock engine cover "rear hood" (whatever). Or would I need one from the supercharged MR2?

No....you'll need an SC cover...

Unless you get radical, and do a boot-mount IC setup..

Or..like me...just ditch the IC, and fit a decent water injection system

If you use an aftermarket ECU, and dont fit the oversize pulley, you'll have no problems (or lag, heatsoak.....!)

Is it a 145hp JDM engine, or a later Corolla AE92/101..?
