Not sure mate pretty sure the hoses on the R33 face a different way to 32 which is why the R34 GT-t intercooler is not a direct R32 bolt on.

In fact I did some research and no. Check this pic out. You see the way the hoses face.

They are certainly not a new thing. HKS stopped making them quite a while ago as far as I know.

The ARC SMIC is has the same size core. It might be thicker by 5mm. It is also generally twice as expensive.

This one is in as new condition and has been polished up a bit before I got it. No bent fins at all.

I took some new photos and added those to the first post.

How long is a piece of string? I dunno it would depend completely on your application. Probably run a few psi more boost than stock with no problems. You are also going to improve your intake due to lowering the restrictions slightly due to the better designed core and end tanks.

Basically perfect for the guys who want to run a bleed valve with the stock turbo and tweak the boost a bit higher without cutting up half the front end of the car...

I have the ARC SMIC one for my 32 GTST. These type of side mount are the thinking mans intercooler. I would say they are good enough for over 180rwkw. and would be fine with the usual budget 32 upgrades of: RB25 turbo, dump + front pipe, 14psi boost, GTR injectors, Power FC. You would have a kick arse car, and not much lag.

I think the cores of my ARC are about the same thickness but the HKS one has more tubes and they are a tiny bit smaller.

best thing about these puppies is you can keep the stock piping. you dont have to hack your front bar and reo up. you dont get any additional lag (especially important if you are running an RB25 turbo or highflow) and they are cheaper than a proper japanese front mount kit. and no hassle from police.

just thought I'd add this bit of info.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.

      Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
