As the topic states. The cooler is in good condition and definately not leaking. Good alternative to VR4 coolers and most definitely cheaper. Good upgrade for L2 and L5s, 3efte and 4efte engines.
PRICE TO GO: RM 160

Was at the chop shop in the weekend and the price quotes for this 1G cooler ranged from 200 - 300.
Below are the specs comparing the 1G and the VR4 cooler:
Toyota GX81-series 1G-GZE/1G-GTE Air-to-Air Intercooler
Flow - Direction A (air entering longer pipe) 212 cfm (equal 11th overall)
Direction B (air exiting longer pipe) 209 cfm
Mass - 2.2kg (14th overall)
Core Measurements - 37.5 x 18.0 x 6cm = 4050cm3 (8th overall)
We're told this particular intercooler is the same as fitted to the 1G supercharged 2.0-litre six and the 1G twin-turbo 2.0-litre six (the 1G-GZE and 1G-GTE respectively). A common choice for conversions in medium power applications, this 'cooler has a generous core volume, average thermal mass and decent airflow.
Not at the top of the medium size intercooler field but certainly worth considering for applications up to about 180kW.
Japanese Market Mitsubishi Galant VR4 Air-to-Air Intercooler
Flow - Direction A and B 184 cfm (20th overall)
Mass - 3.4kg (6th overall)
Core Measurements - 19.7 x 41.5 x 6.5cm = 5314cm3 (6th overall)
You may not be aware that the Japanese domestic market 151kW Mitsubishi VR4 received a much larger front-mount intercooler than the Australian delivered variants. But is it really a 'gun' performer? Both the JDM VR4 core volume and thermal mass are very impressive, but the flow bench reveals its major shortcoming - it's outgunned by 80 percent of the field.
This is another good intercooler from a heat exchange perspective, but lacks the flow to make it suitable for genuine high performance. Keep its flow limitation in mind if you're looking to tweak an Aussie VR4.
