1nt3rc00l3r for a GENIII
I have never installed an IC and am wondering what type is best suited for a 97 4rnr with a GENIII S/C. Also can anyone give me pointers on installing this intercooler. I recon its goin to be a custome job all the way. Is it better to rebuild my heads of get new ones? Should i get new cams in the process?
this is the runn down:
TRD GEN III S/C
K&N COI
TRD headers
Cat back Exaust
Fuel injection kit from URD(the greates thing ever)
I obviously want to cool the air so i am lookin at an intercooler or a water injection kit and some head work if i need to.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS!!!

1) Run the water injection kit with the TRD S/C
2) Change to a custom centrifical S/C and then you can run an intercooler

I know its a roots type supercharger which replaces the stock intake manifold. It would have to a liquid intercoller so the only place that I would have to put an intercooler is between the block/heads and the supercharger itself. i have heard of guys doing this but i am not to sure about it.

I've seen similar things done, and the consensus is that it sucks. It isn't worth the extra money because it barely cools the air. Like MTL_4runner said, either run the water injection kit show here or do a custom supercharger.
Also, to add, I believe that you are talking about a gen 2 supercharger, to my knowledge there isn't a 3rd gen supercharger for the 3.4 V-6's

dont want one at all actually, in fact i am even going to get ride of my K&N FKPI system and put the factory back on. i read gadgets entire web site and it was very informative. thanks for the info
