No - but you would need to run a front mount intercooler because the top mount would not get any cooling. --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

QUOTE (JoshuaM @ Apr 8, 2014 - 11:17 PM)  No - but you would need to run a front mount intercooler because the top mount would not get any cooling. The 4th gen would require cooling, but the 3rd gen is W2A so no need for the added vents. It gets very hot under the hood with a 3S-GTE, so I know some people add washers to their hood hinges to raise the hood up and let some heat out. Enderswift tells me that some of the bracing needs to be cut out of the stock hood in order to clear the intercooler as well. Other than that, it will work. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
