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?

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
