If you're looking to take your R35 GT-R to the next level, the Extreme Turbo Systems Race Intercooler Kit is a game changer. It's a beast compared to the stock intercooler and even outshines most aftermarket options out there. Trust me, I’ve seen it in action, and it’s a serious upgrade.
So, what makes this intercooler stand out? Well, ETS really put some thought into the design. They opted for a large vertical flow setup instead of the typical horizontal flow intercooler. Why? Because with horizontal designs, you often end up with uneven temperatures. One bank gets cooler air while the other struggles, especially since the top section gets tucked away behind the crash beam. That’s not ideal if you want consistent performance.
This intercooler has a massive 22x14x4.5 core that really does the job of keeping those intake air temperatures (IAT) in check, even during intense driving. The full 3-inch stainless mandrel bent piping means you’re getting smooth airflow without any bottlenecks. Plus, it’s bracketed around the oil cooler, which is a smart move to prevent any potential leaks—nobody wants that headache.
Now, if you’re concerned about fitment, don’t sweat it. This kit is designed to clear the factory crash beam, so you won’t have to compromise on safety. There’s even a Super Race option that requires just a bit of trimming if you’re feeling adventurous. It fits right behind the bumper cover and doesn’t interfere with the factory under tray or fender wells, which is crucial when you’re fully locked during those tight turns.
Another cool feature? You won’t have to deal with long silicone couplers that can slip. Instead, you get Breeze high-quality T-bolt clamps with a bridge that keeps everything securely in place. And whether you’re sticking with the factory blow-off valve pipes or going for an aftermarket replacement, this intercooler kit plays nicely with both.
This kit is a perfect fit for the Nissan GT-R models from 2009 to 2021, specifically the 300-10-IC-15 variant in that striking anodized blue finish. If you’re serious about performance, this intercooler kit is a must-have for any GT-R enthusiast looking to push their ride to the limit.
