Hey everyone.

Well I was pondering over whether an S15 or R33 stock sidemount intercooler would directly replace my R32 stock sidemount? Would it offer any benefit and allow me to run higher boost safely? I don't really want to go through all the hassle/cost of installing a front mount, would rather upgrade the stock sidemount if that'll let me run a bit more boost and keep temps down.

Will it work and is there any benefit? Specifically will the S15/R33 stock sidemounts fit with standard piping etc where my R32 sidemount currently is? Or is there a better alternative than the s15/r33 ones?

Thanks!!

R32 uses slightly different piping so you'll need to modify to fit. Probably about $50 to do so.

R33 GTST is bigger, and R34 GTT even bigger. Not sure on exact size of S15 intercooler but it's smaller than R33.

i got an ARC side mount for sale if you want (came off an r32 gtst)

$200 pm me if you want

100 mm thick

sorry to jump the thread

How much boost could I safely run with one of these? Got any pictures of it and does it use stock cooler piping?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
