Daniel,
who have you tried?
KJ products / Paul Weel Radiators, they make the tube and fin core.
ring them they are down gold coast,
i paid $200 for my core 250mm x 500mm (brand
new)
ask them to fax you the list of cores they have in
stock,
if they have to make the core, normally around the
$300-350
for the tanks either Western Suburbs Radiators
ask for Mark,
he'll does good work. or SL Fabrications.
Western sub & SL use KJ cores so they can organize
the core any way?

Thanks Andrew. I did some investigating
this morning and found that I can get a custom i/c made to my exact specs
for about 800 bucks gst inclusive. Its a bit more than I wanted to pay
but at least it will fit perfectly and be brand new. Most places don't
want to cut and weld truck cores as they reckon with oil soaked aluminium
they ususally leak alot after being re-welded. Just out of interest,
you wouldn't know what size i/c's some of the mitsubishi trucks have on
them? Someone said they're the same size as an early evo
i/c?
Cheers

Daniel,
The problem with most truck cores are that
there to wide and to thick for a 1600.There are a couple of late model
truck core that would suit but they are hard to find.I have found some
good cores from something overseas which are 50mm thick,500mm across the
core and 600mm high.They could be cut in half to make 2 intercoolers 300mm
high which would suit a standard or boosted type setup.Or they could be
cut down to 400mm high to make one good size cooler for a high hp
setup.They are tube and fin design and look similar to the evo cooler as
far as tube size is concerned.Being only 50mm thick they need a fairly big
suface area to allow sufficient flow.Youll notice that the volvo cores
look huge as they need to be as they are around 30mm thick.Using a thin
core with large surface area is very efficient for cooling.The cost is
$500 for the cooler,i have one at the moment for my car and hope to get a
few more but will take another 2 months before the next shipment arrives
and i hope to make up a few intercoolers to suit the 1600 in 300mm and
400mm high sizes.There's also another size cooler im looking into which is
70mm thick and 700 high by 500 across but cost $750 landed which isnt to
bad considering that some oz intercooler places buy these cores new for
around $1400.

Hey guys, Just wondering the costs and troubles with
buying a truck core, getting it cut down and end tanks welded on?
Anyone in Brisbane that I could get to do this? I'm hoping to find
a 50mm core or no thicker than 60mm. I only ask as I fit my supra
intercooler and found when I went to close the bonnet, I found that the
bonnet catch hits the top and thus won't close. I've already cut
more metal from the car than I wanted to do in the first place so I
guess a custom job will fulfill my design requirements pretty
well. Anyway, any advice will be appreciated and also if anyone
wants a supra intercooler for 200 bucks plus postage (its in awesome
condition and I've never used it) email me privately. It will suit
anyone who doesn't mind cutting a bit more metal from their car than I
would care to. Cheers Daniel
