About R.M. Turbochargers
AT A GLANCE
- Since 1984
- Wide range of turbo parts & accessories
- Quality service
- Free strip & quote
- Technical support & advice
Specialising in Garrett turbochargers & intercoolers, rebuilds & repairs, parts & accessories. Servicing Australia wide.
Rotomaster Distribution was formed in 1984. R.M Turbochargers was an American turbocharger manufacturer, and we were the Australian distributor. In the late 1980s Garrett bought the R.M. Turbochargers division in the USA and through this purchase we became a Master Garrett distributor in Australia.
We specialise in a wide array of applications, from turbochargers designed for high-octane racing engines to those meant for heavy-duty industrial machinery. Our involvement in motorsport has been particularly profound. We have been pivotal in powering racing teams to victory, with our turbo solutions playing a key role in the competitive racing landscape.
Central to our operations is a robust, customer-centric philosophy. At R.M Turbochargers, we work alongside our clients to develop tailored solutions that not just meet but exceed their specific requirements. Whether it’s optimising performance for racing cars or enhancing efficiency for industrial setups, our approach is always to listen carefully, assess meticulously, and deliver effectively. This strategy has fortified our reputation as leaders in the turbocharger industry, known for our reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Innovation is deeply ingrained in our ethos. The turbocharger industry is characterised by rapid technological advances, and staying at the forefront is imperative. We are committed to continual investment in the latest technologies and techniques, ensuring that our offerings are not just relevant but pioneering.

FAQs
-
What is intercooler heat soak?
Heat soak is when the intercooler can't dissipate the heat that it absorbs from the turbo fast enough. When an intercooler can't cool the charge air by removing the heat from it, it loses its effectiveness. This explains why turbo cars tend to run slower or have slightly less power when the weather is warm.
-
What is the purpose of an Intercooler?
An intercooler primary function is to cool the charge air after it has been heated due to boosting and the heat that is produced by the turbo before sending the air into the engine. As the air is cooled, it becomes denser and denser air makes for better combustion (more power). Additionally, the denser, cooler air helps reduce the chances of knock.
-
Will an intercooler help make more horsepower?
Yes, although it is only indirectly responsible for helping make more power. Since the intercooler increases the charge air density, an intercooled engine will typically make more power than a non-intercooled engine with the same setup by allowing more air to be crammed into each cylinder.
-
What is the difference between an air-to-air intercooler and to water-to-air (liquid to air) intercooler?
An air-to-air intercooler uses ambient air flowing over the fins to cool the charge air, while an air-to-water intercooler, uses coolant (water) with a system similar to that of a radiator's cooling system. Traditionally, air-to-air intercoolers are used for street applications because of their lower cost and reduced complexity, while air-to-water intercoolers are used in race and packaging-constrained applications.
-
What is the best placement of my intercooler?
The best place for your intercooler is directly in the path of the inflow of ambient air. Traditionally this has been right in front of the radiator in the front of the car, hence the term Front Mount Intercooler.
-
Will a FMIC block flow to my radiator?
No, since the intercooler allows air to pass through it, airflow to the radiator will not be blocked. However, using an intercooler core that is too thick and does not allow air to pass through it quickly or completely and airflow to the radiator can be restricted which can lead to potential overheating problems.
-
I want to turn up my boost, is a larger intercooler necessary?
Usually, it is not necessary to upgrade the intercooler when raising boost levels. The pressure drop contributed by the intercooler is proportional to its flow (CFM) squared. This relationship shows that it is highly unlikely the change resulting in loss from higher boost levels will require a larger intercooler. If there is significant change, however, such as 40% or 50%, then a larger intercooler may be necessary.
-
Is there a maximum amount of boost I can run on my intercooler?
While it is possible that an intercooler can fail from boost levels being too high, it is a very rare scenario. However, if not properly designed to handle high boost, cracking along seams and of the end tanks can occur.
-
How significant is a leak in my intercooler?
For an air-to-air intercooler, a leak, as long as it is not a significantly large one, will not hinder performance at all. However, if an air-to-water intercooler develops a leak in the main core, it could lead to other more significant problems with the engine itself. Be sure to fix these problems as soon as they occur to prevent other damage.
-
I want my car to remain a sleeper/stealth. Can I paint or anodize my intercooler so it is not easily visible?
Yes, it is not uncommon at all for an intercooler and end tanks to be anodized black to keep attention away from the car and help it maintain a sleeper appearance. A very light coat of paint on the core and end tanks is also another option, usually much cheaper and easier than anodizing, with a negligible performance loss.
