2002-2003 5th Gen Nissan Maxima Intercooler Upgrade (Supercharged Setup)

Credit: René Saran

Out of the two eBay options I had, I chose this intercooler with the angle, but I wanted something better. As some of you may know, there are only about four same-side intercoolers available on the market, offering limited options and not much room for upgrades. I wanted to use a Garrett core, but none of the sizes fit my needs, so I ended up with a Vibrant core, which I got at a significant discount.

To keep the same piping setup, I used AutoCAD to create the measurements for the end tanks and had them cut on a plasma table from 3/16-inch aluminum. From there, with a few bends, my buddy laid down some impressive welds to recreate my eBay intercooler on steroids, now featuring the Vibrant core. I’ll be trimming about 1.25 inches off the straight section of my pipes, but that’s pretty much all I need to do to make it fit with the longer core length.

Check out the inside fins on the eBay intercooler—very sparse and lacking louvers.
