I'm swapping out my cooler kit for a larger unit. This setup would be perfect for a RB20 or RB25 with upto the 220-230kw mark.

The idea of this kit was to use the factory piping and stuff all cutting the car up. So it looks factory.

It conisists of:

500 x 200 x 90mm (core size) Return flow intercoler

custom pipe work to match stock piping in the guard
T bolt clamps

Silicone joiners from cooler to piping

The cooler cost me $220 last year, piping/clamps/silicone cost around $250.

I'm after $350 ono for the kit. It's near new, its black so its uber stealth and it you wouldn't even know its there. The reo will barely need to be mangled too (just a slight cut on the bottom section).

I'll try get some better pics this weekend of it all.


Located in Liverpool region, will ship at buyers expense.

If you were using the Standard cross over piping I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

My kit bolts up to the piping that goes through the guard. Like other return flow kits on the market.

Not 100% sure, but if it has a similar layout to how the RB25 factory cooler piping, I don't see it being too much of an issue.

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
