What power level is the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler designed for?

The AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler (Alpha Race) is engineered for R35 GT-R builds producing between 1,000 and 1,400 horsepower, or for cars driven in hot climates. It is the best-performing mid-size intercooler in its class, sitting below the larger Race X for higher-power builds.

Does the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler require cutting the crash beam?

No. Unlike some larger intercoolers, the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler Race installs without cutting the factory crash beam or bumper cover. It requires only minimal trimming of the plastic OEM shroud, making it a cleaner, more reversible install.

What piping does the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler work with?

The AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler works with Alpha GT-R piping or any aftermarket 3 inch intercooler piping that follows the stock routing. The end tanks use 3 inch CNC billet inlet and outlet ports for a smooth, tapered transition.

Which R35 GT-R model years does the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler fit?

The AMS Performance Nissan GT-R intercooler fits all R35 GT-R model years from 2009-present. As of December 2022 the part covers both 2009-2011 and 2012+ cars, with extra shroud pieces included for both applications.

Description

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

Nissan GT-R intercooler from AMS Performance is the Alpha Race front mount intercooler, engineered to be the best-performing, most efficient mid-size intercooler on the market for the R35 GT-R (2009-present). Built to meet the demands of AMS’s world-record-setting Alpha GT-Rs, the AMS Nissan GT-R intercooler is the right choice for cars producing between 1,000 and 1,400 horsepower or driven in hot climates, delivering power safely and efficiently. It uses a massive 22″ x 14″ x 4.5″ bar-and-plate core with 92.5% more air volume than a stock pair of GT-R intercoolers, and unlike the larger Race X, it installs without cutting the factory crash beam or bumper cover.

Why the AMS Performance Nissan GT-R Intercooler?

The AMS Nissan GT-R intercooler Race is a race-proven design refined through repeated testing on AMS’s Alpha GT-Rs. It uses a vertical airflow design and a 22″ x 14″ x 4.5″ bar-and-plate core offering 92.5% more air volume than the stock pair, with up to twice the fin density of most intercoolers on the market for more contact with cool, dense air, and it does so with virtually no boost pressure drop (less than 1 psi). The Solidworks-designed end tanks flow better than boxy sheet-metal tanks and feature 3-inch CNC billet inlet and outlet ports for a smooth, tapered transition. Custom-molded silicone couplers optimize airflow volume and velocity. A supplied bridge plate and shroud plates seal the core to the factory shroud, funneling incoming air through the core rather than escaping around the sides, top, or bottom, and the whole package fits without cutting the factory crash beam or bumper cover.

Nissan GT-R Intercooler: Construction and Durability

The AMS Nissan GT-R intercooler is TIG-welded aluminum, mounted to the core support with gusseted aluminum brackets. The 4-ply silicone couplers fasten with Murray Turbo Seal clamps, and every unit is pressure tested to 50psi and checked for leaks before it passes inspection. This is a race-proven assembly built to last the lifetime of the GT-R. The kit also includes horn relocation brackets for a clean install.

Additional Information

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.

Shipping Policy

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. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

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 sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
