Forge launches new Nissan GTR R35 intercooler upgrade

The alloy artisans at Forge Motorsport have been labouring away on the dyno once again to create this simply sublime front-mount intercooler for the Nissan R35 GTR. This custom-fabricated part will fit all models, including the considerably altered 2011 model.

Countless hours on the rollers revealed to Forge’s technical team that the most efficient core design consisted of a dual tube and fin design. This, combined with a considerable increase in overall dimensions offering measurably improved cooling ability, whilst simultaneously reducing pressure loss across the ‘cooler, when compared to the stock item.

The Forge unit is more than twice the size of the OEM cooler, offering much greater efficiencies in maintaining lower charge temperatures. All tests were carried out using uprated cars, running mappable ECUs. Across the board, every run showed both a reduction in inlet temperature and a sizeable increase in horsepower and torque, whilst managing to avoid the issue most commonly incurred when running a larger intercooler, namely, increased turbo lag. The GTR intercooler kit is supplied complete with all parts required, including mandrel bent 70mm pipework to both throttle bodies, silicon hoses, all clips, bolts, and nuts - and of course, comprehensive colour fitting instructions.

The efficiency of the latest Forge design has been proven by its fitment on the current UK GTR ¼ mile record holder, so not only is it a highly durable piece of equipment for road use, but also, more than up to the job in the competition environment. Whichever your preference, it is an essential modification for any tuned GTR. The complete kit is priced at £2160 including VAT.
