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 Kroehn
