so I google`d supra dash and saw pics of it and it looks do able. the top part of the dash looks a lot like the SC dash. but I could be wrong. hardest part would be wiring up everything and airbags but it shouldn't be to bad I've done a skyline r33 dash in a s13. but I'm gonna research more. also if anyone has a supra and an sc could u look and see if its even close at all?

Off the topic, are you stationed at Tinker AFB?
On the topic, I would like to see a huge mod like this done with DIY step by step pictures. This would be a very cool project and I think it can be pulled off. Tired of seeing swaps with the same motors on here.. LOL

I love the Supra MKIV interior but I'm also a fan of the SC interior once you ditch the factory front seats for TT's and throw on a Toyota three-spoke steering wheel.
It will be a lot of work but anything is possible with enough time, money, expertise and patience. I once saw a magazine article featuring a 1969 Mustang with a 2004 Mustang GT or Cobra interior fitted in so perfectly you'd think it came that way. The two cars had something in common structurally and this made it easier even though everything had to be custom cut and fit.
It may be possible but I think the rooflines are different in the SC and MKIV in addition to the aforementioned width differences. Also, the biggest problem will probably be the doors: the SC doors are totally different than the MKIV doors and the wraparound effect extends onto the interior door panels. I'm not sure it will even be possible to replicate that on an SC chassis without a lot of custom fiberglass work.

oh yea there will be a DIY for the supercharger setup. and for the dash install. I'll be posting lots of videos and pictures. there isn't very many videos of Supercharged SC4s so I'll be using my go pro a lot for video and my wife is a photographer so there will be some nice shots.
as for the links not working they are still showing up. I can try and host them through photo bucket instead of using my Facebook.

also about the door panels I think I'd try to keep the stock sc panels and mold them to fit it would be a lot easier to try and keep them. my main focus is getting the dash to fit

Normally, I'd tell you don't do it because the dimensions are probably going to be tricky...but...
I was recently reading "Modified" magazine, and they featured a mid 90's Subaru impreza coupe (not a subaru expert so I can't tell you the chassis code lol but it was like a 95-98 or so I would guess). The owner of that car swapped in the entire interior out of the newer Sti sedan model that I would guess is from 2005-2008 or so... and it looks like oem... so anything can be done.

you dont even have to swap the door panels or center console if you dont want.
but the way those year subaru interiors were. it flowed anyways.
