M35 Intercooler Up Grades

[Ross]

for those that have upgraded their intercooler in m35 stages, what size/ dimention cooler will fit in without cutting parts up?

My mate has an ARC 'cooler on his M35.

Straight swap for OE.... expensive though

There are a few kits available (in order or price) from Greddy (Spec V, Spec R), ARC and Dolphin.

There are probably more, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head.

As far as I know, the Greddy 'coolers need some cutting to fit, but the Dolphin is a slimmer design and fits without cutting (from memory).

As stated the ARC is a straight swap for the stockie.

If you don't want to spend that kind of money, I suppose you could take the dimensions of any of these and duplicate whichever you like.

Can't guarantee the custom job would cool the same though.

also does the aircon fan need to be located when using a kit such as greddy kit for m35?

had a look today and is bugger all room between the fan and the bumper support

NRVOUS has installed a Greddy V-spec intercooler on his Axis.

Looks like it fit fine with the fan.

The ARC intercooler does not require any changes to any existing parts to be installed, so the fan is fine with one of these.

thanks for the pics

do u know if the bumper support was removed for good? from those pics i cant see how it was bolted back onto the rails with the cooler sitting pass the rails

You will find more answers on page 7 of that same thread (please read).

I asked NRVOUS how much stuffing around there was when installing the 'cooler, this was his response;

"Like most of these intercooler kits, there's always a little bit of trimming to be done here and there, the reo bar needed some aluminium shaved off at both ends where the intercooler end tanks finish and slots for the stock cooler needed top be cut off so the Greddy clears nicley......now its sits perfectly behind the Bar"

Hope that put's your mind at ease.

Sure mate.

Expensive though

Autobarn down here can get one (was quoted ~$2k in Sept last year)

for NM35 Stagea (10/01-7/04)

ARC Part # M103NM35G04

Thickness: 100mm

Purchase price (new) ¥136600

RMS Motorsport (sponsor here) can get it in no probs.

www.fortyone.co.nz can get them in 10 days ($3400NZD though )

You can see it cheekily peeping out the opening in my mate's front bar here.

Couldn't add to above post, but here are the dimensions of the Dolphin intercooler

h180mm x w680mm x d70mm

Don't know the part number sorry, bu it is manufactured by Freeway and is supposedly comparable to ARC build/cooling wise

155400 yen new.
