Front Mount For R32

[lows_13]

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:-

ARC make them, they are more expensive and everyone raves about them.

[lows_13]

The Blitz kits are crazily expensive

Anyone else incurred this problem before....

Just cut the hole on the right side you pussy! LOL!

the 2nd picture you posted is the trust version.

[TTT]

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..

i did the R34smic option

it works fine

same prices as GTST stated.

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.

They seem to be quite expensive brand new.

Second hand might be a better/cheaper option.

if your in melbourne i have a trust cooler for sale with the endt tanks on the same end so the cooler pipes are quite short..

[lows_13]

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?

seriously cut the hole get a just jap kit..450..

or install the cooler ur self drive to and exhaust place with bumper of and get it hooked up....

alot of lag if you do a 180 degree bend to come around thou

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.

Can you get away without cutting a hole near the battery?

[Ruffels]

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..

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.

fair 'nuff

not what I wanted to hear, but it does make sense. hmf. makes it easier, though. fmic is now on the shopping list (as opposed to the wish list)

Just one of the reasons why i don't want to go down that path.
