Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit for R35 Nissan GTR (11-16)

The Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R is a race-proven cooling upgrade engineered to maximize charge-air efficiency and performance for the GT-R’s twin-turbo VR38 engine. Featuring a dual-intercooler layout with large, high-performance stepped cores, the system delivers a massive increase in flow area and charge-air volume to significantly reduce intake temperatures and maintain consistent power under extreme driving conditions. Precision-engineered cast aluminum end tanks and carbon air ducts ensure smooth airflow with minimal back pressure, while enlarged 70 mm connections further optimize air delivery. Designed for motorsport-level durability and tested for high boost pressures, the kit installs as a direct plug-and-play replacement, making it the ideal solution for high-horsepower street and track GT-R builds.

Why the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler is the Best Choice for Your GTR

• Massive performance increase thanks to 94% more charge air volume: Wagner Tuning engineers this kit with two high-performance intercoolers, each featuring core dimensions of 360mm × 294mm × 110mm and a combined total volume of 23.3 liters. Compared to the standard coolers, the system delivers a massive 76% larger flow area and an impressive 94% increase in charge-air volume, providing significantly cooler and denser intake air for a noticeable and powerful performance increase.
• Optimal airflow thanks to carbon air ducts: Wagner Tuning supplies the kit with matching carbon air ducts that ensure the intercoolers receive an optimal supply of fresh air. The cast aluminum end tanks with integrated air guides are flow-optimized using CAD engineering and CFD simulations to provide uniform charge-air distribution and significantly reduced back pressure. Enlarged Ø70 mm connection diameters further enhance airflow efficiency and overall performance.
• Racing-grade quality and easy installation: Wagner Tuning developed this kit specifically for motorsport use, with pressure resistance tested up to 6 bar for maximum reliability under extreme conditions. Despite their impressive size, the two intercoolers weigh only 9.1 kg each. Supplied as a ready-to-install package, the system offers a straightforward plug-and-play installation with no complex modifications required.
