That is a stock 1g sidemount. I have 3 in front of me that look exactly the same.
 
I'll echo the same"it looks like a stock 1g core" only I have come across a couple of different stock cores with different lower pipe angles. My stock 90 core had a wider angle on the lower pipe to clear the stock coolant reservoir. Another core I picked up from a 91 had the lower pipe pointing at an angle where it hit the coolant reservoir.
 
Upon further inspection, it does indeed appear to be a stock 1G intercooler. The angle of the first pic made it appear to have the larger 2.25" inlet and outlet welded on, as DeJon did back in the day to help with pressure drop. I used to have one of these in my possession- it was basically a 1G sidemount core with 2G sidemount piping welded to it.

There are two types of 1G cores- one to fit the 90/91 cars with flip-ups, and another to fit 92-94 cars. This appears to be the latter of the two.

The 1Ga core, aside from having different mounting points, looks like this:
