SZM Nissan GT-R R35 Intercooler Piping Kit | VR38DETT High-Flow Charge Pipe Upgrade

Upgrade the factory intercooler piping on your Nissan GT-R R35 with the SZM High-Flow Intercooler Piping Kit, engineered specifically for the VR38DETT to deliver greater airflow capacity, superior boost retention, and long-term reliability. Designed for everything from lightly modified street cars to 2,000+ horsepower race builds, this premium charge pipe kit eliminates the common weaknesses of the factory couplers and clamping system while increasing airflow where it matters most.

Unlike many aftermarket kits, the SZM Intercooler Piping Kit is supplied with piping for both the OEM intake manifold and the Boost Logic intake manifold, allowing future upgrades without purchasing another piping kit or modifying existing components.

Premium Construction Built for High Boost

Every component has been engineered to withstand the demands of high-performance VR38DETT engines.

The charge pipes are manufactured from high-quality aluminum and finished in a durable wrinkle-black powder coating that resists fading, peeling, corrosion, and discoloration even after years of heat cycling.

Unlike lower-quality coatings that deteriorate over time, the SZM powder-coated finish maintains both its appearance and durability under demanding street and motorsport conditions.

Larger Diameter for Improved Airflow

While the factory GT-R charge pipes are aluminum, the intercooler-to-throttle body piping uses a smaller diameter that becomes increasingly restrictive as airflow demand rises.

The SZM system incorporates:

• Optimized 2.5-inch turbo-to-intercooler piping

• Larger 3-inch intercooler-to-throttle body piping

The increased diameter on the cold side allows greater airflow volume while reducing restriction and pressure drop, making the system ideal for upgraded turbochargers, higher boost pressures, ethanol-fueled applications, and high-horsepower VR38DETT builds.

Bead-Rolled Pipe Ends Prevent Blow-Offs

Every aluminum pipe features precision bead-rolled ends.

This critical feature provides a mechanical locking surface that allows the silicone couplers to grip the piping securely under extreme boost pressure.

Compared to smooth-end piping, bead-rolled pipes dramatically reduce the possibility of intercooler pipes blowing off during hard acceleration, drag racing, roll racing, or circuit driving.

Premium 3-Ply Reinforced Silicone Couplers

The factory rubber couplers are relatively thin and commonly become one of the weakest components in the charge piping system as vehicles age or boost pressure increases.

Repeated heat cycles can cause the factory couplers to soften, split, become damaged during servicing, or occasionally blow off under high boost.

The SZM kit replaces every factory coupler with premium 3-ply reinforced silicone couplers, engineered to provide:

• Excellent resistance to tearing and splitting

• Superior heat resistance

• Increased burst strength over OEM couplers

• Long service life in demanding street and motorsport applications

• Reliable sealing under elevated boost pressure

• Excellent durability through repeated removal and installation

Designed to withstand the harsh operating conditions of high-performance VR38DETT engines, these reinforced silicone couplers significantly reduce the risk of boost leaks while maintaining flexibility and long-term reliability.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps

Every connection is secured using premium stainless steel T-bolt clamps.

Compared to conventional worm-drive clamps, T-bolt clamps provide:

• More uniform clamping force

• Higher load capacity

• Improved resistance to clamp relaxation

• Better sealing under repeated boost cycles

• Excellent durability during repeated maintenance and reinstallation

The result is a significantly more secure connection that helps eliminate boost leaks on high-performance applications.

Exclusive Dual Intake Manifold Compatibility

Most aftermarket GT-R intercooler piping kits are designed around a single intake manifold configuration.

The SZM kit includes dedicated piping for both:

• OEM Intake Manifold

• Boost Logic Intake Manifold

This unique design allows owners to upgrade their intake manifold in the future without purchasing another intercooler piping kit, modifying existing pipes, or fabricating custom components.

It is a future-proof solution designed to grow with your build.
