If you're looking to take your R35 GT-R to the next level, the Extreme Turbo Systems R35 GT-R Race Intercooler Kit is a game changer. Seriously, this thing is a beast compared to the stock setup and even other aftermarket options. It’s like swapping out a bicycle tire for a monster truck tire—there's just no comparison.
So, here's the deal: ETS really thought this through. They could have gone with a big horizontal flow intercooler, but that would have meant splitting the core into two sections for each bank. The downside? You’d end up with uneven intake air temperatures (IAT), and nobody wants that. With the bottom bank getting cooler air and the top bank struggling behind the crash beam, it just didn’t make sense. That’s why they opted for a massive vertical flow design that maximizes efficiency and performance.
This intercooler features a gigantic 22x14x4.5 core, which is a significant upgrade from stock. You’ll notice the difference right away, especially when pushing your GT-R hard. The full 3-inch stainless mandrel bent piping ensures a smooth flow, helping to keep those intake temps in check. Plus, it’s bracketed around the oil cooler, so you won’t have to worry about leaks down the line.
Now, if you're wondering about fitment, this kit is designed to clear the factory crash beam without any issues, which is a huge plus for those who want to keep things simple. The Super Race version does require a bit of trimming on the crash beam, but it’s minor and worth it for the performance boost. And don’t fret about clearance—this intercooler fits right under the factory bumper cover and clears the under tray and fender wells, even when you're fully locked.
One of the best parts? No long silicone couplers to mess with. Instead, you’ve got Breeze high-quality T-bolt clamps that are built to last and won’t slip, giving you peace of mind when you’re pushing your car to its limits. It’s also compatible with factory blow-off valve pipes or aftermarket replacements, so you can keep what you love or upgrade without a hassle.
In short, if you’re rolling in a Nissan GT-R from 2009 to 2021 and want to seriously up your intercooler game, this kit is where it’s at. The Extreme Turbo Systems anodized black 4.5-inch race intercooler with stencil is ready to help you unleash the full potential of your ride.
