Hey Kalieracer, how's this group buy looking? Have you gotten the minimum 5 interested yet?

In the case of this radiator it is about 1.5 time stock, the gen 2 unit is over 2x. In terms of the 4cy units, no one has expressed interest in doing a run. Though based on my time in the starquest groups the inlet and outlet locations of starquest radiators are the same as the montero, if so you could use any of the units made for them by modding the mounts and shroud brackets or use 240sx radiator as many of the starquest guys do. I can have the MFG get me pricing for the 4cyl (what sort of cooling did you want) and did want to retain the fan clutch?
So, almost twice the heat removal of stock?
Any plans for 4-cyl applications like SWB Montero or Max?

They are specific to the 3.5 L full size truck and Evo model. There are two type a Chinese made version and US made. US made is going to have an open group buy for them. Chinese are made to order and shipped to you.
Thanks Kalieracer. Also, the high performance radiators you mentioned, are they specific to the Montero or require modification(s) to be used? If the latter, do you have any links to where they can be purchased?

Hello everyone! Im new to the forum and expecting to take possession of a freshly imported 1993 Pajero Exceed RHD. Can someone direct me to a good repair facility who knows how to work on them preferably in the Vancouver, WA - Portland, OR area.
After all preventive maintenance have been addressed, I plan to have it transported to New York where it will be enjoyed.
Any leads for auto shippers will be greatly appreciated.
Happy to be part of this Group!

That is not for gas gen 2 and it is plastic and alloy vs the stock brass cooper or high performance tig welded alloy unit. It will cool fine just not last off road or cool more than stock.
I noticed on Amazon there is a Koyo brand radiator under the MB890951- I always thought Koyo was a good brand, however, it in this case is it still inferior to the OEM?

So this sorta depends on your cooling system setup. Radiator and such. 180 is still fine, you can always cover up part of radiator to get more heat in the system
Would a lower temp thermostat be detrimental for the engine? What is supposed to be the normal operating temperature? My truck will see freezing temperatures, but a lot more triple digits in standstill traffic or hot days wheeling. I was thinking of getting the 170 or 180 thermostat but I'm not sure if they will let the truck warm up properly in freezing conditions. I'll be upgrading other bits of the cooling system as needed but currently I have a non oem thermostat, so that's on top of the list.
