AMS Performance Race X Front Mount Intercooler for R35 Nissan GT-R

AMS Performance Race X Front Mount Intercooler for R35 Nissan GT-R

The Alpha Performance R35 GT-R Race X Intercooler upgrade by AMS was meticulously engineered to claim the title of the finest front mount intercooler in the market for power levels exceeding 1200 horsepower. This achievement was essential to fulfill the demands of our renowned team of “Alpha 22” GT-Rs, capable of achieving impressive 7-second quarter-mile times.

Race X

• AMS has developed the Alpha Performance R35 GT-R Race X Intercooler upgrade to claim the top spot as the most high-performing front mount intercooler on the market, capable of handling power levels exceeding 1200 horsepower. The requirements set by our team of 7-second “Alpha X” GT-Rs demanded nothing less. If your GT-R generates power in excess of 1200 horsepower, particularly in hot weather conditions, the Alpha GT-R Race X Intercooler is the optimal choice for safe and efficient power production. Through rigorous testing, repeated evaluations, and a series of enhancements, this race-proven design, which has propelled our own vehicles to 7-second glory, has now been perfected and made available for your high-horsepower R35 GT-R.

MASSIVE 6″ Thick High Quality Garrett© Intercooler Core

• In order to achieve effective reduction of charged air temperatures, AMS implemented a vertical flow design, ensuring optimal cooling performance. The Race X intercooler boasts a substantial 22.2″ x 14″ x 6″ bar-and-plate core, offering an astounding 350% more volume compared to a stock pair of GT-R intercoolers. With a remarkable cooling surface area of 1800 square inches, the core features double the fin density of most intercoolers currently available in the market. This increased fin density facilitates enhanced contact with cool and dense air, resulting in unparalleled power output for your GT-R that will dominate the pavement. In rigorous testing on vehicles producing over 1700 wheel horsepower, we observed a remarkable 20°F difference at the end of the quarter-mile between our standard Race FMIC and the new Race X Intercooler.

Beautiful Billet End Tanks

• The Alpha GT-R Race X billet intercooler end tanks, meticulously designed by AMS’ Snailworks© engineering team, feature exceptionally smooth features and geometry to ensure optimal flow and achieve maximum horsepower. These end tanks are created using Solidworks© 3D CAD software, surpassing the flow capabilities of boxy sheet metal end tanks commonly found in inferior intercoolers produced by AMS’ competitors. The large end tanks are equipped with 3-inch CNC billet inlet and outlet ports, ensuring a seamless and tapered transition from the intake to the intercooler. To further enhance performance, AMS’ team has computer-designed precisely molded custom silicone couplers, providing perfect fitment and optimized geometry. These couplers improve airflow volume and velocity, resulting in unrivaled power without compromising response.

The Difference is in the Details

• Utilizing the GT-R’s ample frontal area to its fullest potential, this intercooler kit enhances the functionality of the stock intercooler shroud. To further optimize airflow, a bridge plate and shroud plates are included, creating a tight seal around the core. This seal ensures that cool air entering the shroud is directed through the core, effectively preventing air from escaping through the sides, top, and bottom of the intercooler. This meticulous attention to detail maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the intercooler core, a feature often overlooked by competitors. It is important to note that the installation of this intercooler requires cutting the factory crash beam and securely attaching the supplied beam plate through riveting or welding.

Engineer. Build. Perform.

• When it comes to the Alpha GT-R components, there is unquestionable certainty regarding their durability, reliability, and precise fitment. The Alpha GT-R Race X Intercooler is securely mounted to the core support using robust gusseted aluminum brackets, leaving no room for doubt. The 5-ply silicone couplers not only provide superior strength but also fasten tightly with the aid of Murray Turbo Seal clamps. To guarantee its longevity, the intercooler undergoes rigorous pressure testing up to 50psi and is thoroughly inspected for any potential leaks. Rest assured, these measures ensure that your Alpha GT-R Race X Intercooler will serve your high-horsepower GT-R throughout its lifetime.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at [email protected] with any inquiries.
