I finally got it back together yesterday with brilliant results. It's now happy to sit around the 82deg mark. That's new fan clutch with extra oil, new thermostat with 4x2.5mm holes, 25% glycol and sealing the IC to the bonnet. With that said it is shit weather at the moment and no real load but ...

I'll Yeah the engine bay is beginning to look a bit cramped with the turbo, cooler, AC, batteries etc and not much I can really do about it.

Milo. You're a wealth of knowledge. Got the new fan clutch and extra oil, fitting tomorrow with new thermostat and will definitely drill it out. Fitting it in the morning.

Re: Radiator upgrades

A quick look on Toyodiy.com shows different part numbers between radiators for HZJ75, HZJ79 and HDJ79. I guess there is a difference so if anyone can shed some light on this that'd be great. As well as OEM gear I'm after any recommendations or experiences on other set ups regardless of vehicle ...

It's a GTurbo, so generally around 16psi but can hit 17 or 18 when pushed. It's ran quite lean (21:1 AFR if not leaner) EGT's rarely exceed 500deg pre turbo.

Radiator upgrades

I'm looking at fitting a new radiator to a 75 Troopy with a boosted 1HZ. There's a few other things to do first but I think with the turbo I have exceeded what the cooling system can handle, hence a bigger radiator. Is a PWR the way to go or should I look at someone else. A bit of googling didn't ...

Seems to only be happy when earthed directly to the battery. Doesn't matter which bolt, screw or other metal part, it all seems to have the same issue. I'll clean the body earth wire but I can't see an issue with it especially as this is the only thing causing greif. Positive supply seems good.
