A friend of mine ran a 24 x 12 x 3 in his SC. He had to remove the crash bar and you can see part of the intercooler through the bottom of the bumper if you have a 92-94. I wouldnt mind removing the crash bar to make room for more power.

i'm running a 24x12x3 if you wanna look at my setup you can check it out at a meet, or if you look for my 1jz swap thread i got pics of the setup, i know you can go larger than 24x12x3 though especially if the crash bar is removed
oh also forgot, you will need to relocate the coolant expansion tank as the ic will hit it

Im running a 24x12x4 core and have the front crash bar in place. It doesnt show below the bumper either. There is plenty of room to move the intercooler up to make it not stick out.

just thought the bigger the intercooler the better cooling? plus im not going to get a vertex front bumper so the lines of the 97+ front bumper will restrict it a bit. i guess better safe then sorry? dont want to run into problems down the line which would require me to get a bigger one i have a 61 trim turbo and a rb20 intercooler its not to big the one i had before was bigger(the one that came with the kit) so im thinking of selling it and buying the best so no more intercooler problems

Same size as LexusFTW here, doesn't stick out below the bumper at all. I have no front crash bar and we made a custom mounting bar for it to hold it up a little higher in the front of the car.
