Over time, the aggressive thermal cycling generated by the turbocharged 4G63T engine causes the plastic tanks to become brittle, split, and leak. Additionally, the standard core lacks the adequate fluid capacity and fin surface area required to effectively dissipate heat during sustained high-rpm use. This inefficiency leads to severe heat soak, elevated coolant temperatures, and ECU-triggered timing pull that severely limits engine power during track events or demanding driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for maximum thermal efficiency, this cooling upgrade features a robust 2-row, 1.50-inch thick full aluminum core. By transitioning to a 100% aluminum construction with precision TIG-welded end tanks, the structural weaknesses of OEM plastic crimps are completely eliminated, ensuring reliability under elevated cooling system pressures. The expanded 27.00\" x 14.75\" core size vastly increases both fluid capacity and fin surface area, optimizing airflow dynamics through the front grille. This results in superior heat transfer capabilities, keeping the 4G63T engine within optimal operating temperatures even under aggressive boost levels, mitigating detonation risks, and maintaining consistent power delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e4G63T \/ CT9A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e271-286 hp \/ 273-289 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 2.0L Turbo Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 2.0L Turbo Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 2.0L Turbo Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX 2.0L Turbo Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mitsubishi Track Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the rigorous demands of the legendary 4G63T powerplant, this radiator ensures stable thermal management, allowing you to sustain peak boost and power output without compromising engine reliability on the street or the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50256458940664,"sku":"DS-EYBGRZJAD","price":130.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-2003-2006-2-0l-manual-1.webp?v=1788039500","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-2003-2006-2-0l-manual","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
