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?

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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
