Hi All

I've come across a Tommy Kaira R32 Side Mount Intercooler... now, i haven't been able to find any specs on these, but its a really good price, and i was wondering if anyone knew how much better it would flow/cool compared to the stock R32 Side-Mount Intercooler that i have at the moment?

Anyone had any experience with these? I take it it would just mate up with the standard piping?

Also, does anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost to get one of these into Australia, from Japan?

Pic Below:

Thanks, Jason

I bought a side mount off a Tommy Kaira R32 GTST.

It was an ARC item.

Not sure if Tommy Kaira actually MAKE their own intercoolers or even if they make any ENGINE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING parts?

anyway, the same type of side mounted ARC one I had was used in a ZOOM's CA18DET build up they did and they were running 200rwkw or somethinn like that through it.

have you compared that one there to a factory R32 gtst intercooler to see if it's actually any different?

Cause the one I had, had the ARC badge on it.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
