lows_13 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) I'm looking for a front mount intercooler kit for a R32 that uses the side mount pipes. As i can't find any kits available new or second hand i'm looking at alternative options. (If anyone has one for sale or knows of one for sale please PM me) I found this XR6 cooler upgrade, i could probably fit something like this in and just get some pipes made up to suit. Opinions on XR6 cooler? This is the type if after but can't find:- Edited April 30, 2006 by lows_13 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/115505-front-mount-for-r32/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 there was a thread recently about modifying an R34 gtt side mount cooler to fit R32 gtst stock cooler spot. that might be an option for you. Sydney kid posted a few points in there.. says it flows and cools well for 220 rwkw on his RB20det powered R32... and that is a track car. which is used only for thrashing constantly at the track. might be comething to consider since they cost about $150 and an aluminium welding place could modify the end tank to be same as R32 stock cooler (SK said he paid $50) and you could bolt it straight in it's place. so..

TokyoTaxi Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've got a Trust V-SPL which I'm pretty sure is the 2nd pic. I'm pretty sure the ones that do this style are TRUST, ARC & BLITZ. Talk to Peter at Advan Performance if you want a Trust one.

lows_13 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 They seem to be quite expensive brand new. Second hand might be a better/cheaper option. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/115505-front-mount-for-r32/#findComment-2128608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lows_13 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Are R33/R32 front mounts kits the same? Can you fit a R33 frount mount cooler kit into a R32 without any troubles? (Type that uses the side mount pipes) Anyone else selling this kind of setup?

ebola Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have this idea about a "return inercooler". I still have this idea about a "return intercooler". rather than getting a 600 X 300 intercooler, getting 2 600 X 150 intercoolers and mounting them one on top of the other. then you loop sone side back to itself. You now have a 600 X 300 intercooler with inlet / outlet on the same side. This is only an idea, so some comments, criticisms, etc would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to do it, if only to be different. I figure it will save a little piping, too.

Ruffels Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 a mate of mine (member on this forums) got defected for "unengineered modification to chassis" for cutting the hole under the washer botle in the side sil.. $600 for engineering later... those ARC 180 degree bend ones arent THAT bad..

I figure it will save a little piping, too. air is now going through 2 intercoolers.. it would be too much of a restriction.. basically like air being pushed through 1200 x 150mm core.
