GReddy Spec-R Intercooler Upgrade Now Shipping in the US
More details and availability on the GReddy Spec-R front mount intercooler upgrades have surfaced after they finally and officially made their way into production and into the hands of US distributor MVP.
These intercoolers are a direct fit OE replacement type which offer improved cooling efficiency with better airflow characteristics. The core itself is almost 40% larger than the standard core with fewer, larger rows it also offers a much larger internal volume. In testing it was seen to be over 20% more effective at cooling the intake charge versus the standard item. That’s a 10 + ℃ effective temperature drop even in unfavorable conditions.
The results are, up to 18hp improvement in the mid range and 11hp at peak. A corresponding torque increase was also seen.
If you’re interested, get in now and you’ll get a set that’s already in the US shipped to your door for $3,699 from mvpgtr.com. The kits comes with all fittings, fasteners and airguides seen above including fitting instructions. Check out the link below.

MVP Motorsports GT-R Breaks Quarter Mile Record – 10.31 @ 131mph
Well known Texas based Toyota Supra shop MVP Motorsports have been preparing their own Nissan GT-R for some time now while also preparing to launch their new online store MVPGTR.com.
And, as they say, what better way to do it than to set a new record R35 GT-R quarter mile time? Hitting up the brand new Dallas Raceway dragstrip they managed a 10.31 second ET @ 131 mph beating the previous world GT-R record by almost two tenths.
Of course this GT-R is no factory standard car and modifications include upgraded turbos, intercoolers, intakes, turbo outlet pipes, and y-pipe by ARD Motorsports. The ECU is a MVP tuned Cobb AccessPORT. Notice also that nitrous is left conspicuously OFF the modifications list and indeed was not used at the drags.
Thanks to Dusty@MVP for the heads up.
