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 ...

Re: Radiator upgrades
I've been flat out and haven't gotten back to it yet. I should get a chance over the weekend. 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. As much as I don't want to, I might pop the bonnet up at the back ...

Re: Radiator upgrades
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. Worked out a way to seal the TMIC to the bonnet. Pick up rubber on Monday. I'll give the lower glycol a go and see how that goes ...

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 ...

Re: Radiator upgrades
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. Fitted with a CrossCountry top mount W2A however as I used the FRP sports bonnet, the cooler does not yet seal properly against the bonnet. I ...

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 ...

Re: Autometer pyro
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.

Well I did the pod filter thing and it seems to have worked. Didn't hit 2k RPM. Sounded bloody fantastic!
Turbo has been set at 14psi.
Intercooler should be here tomorrow, if not Wednesday.
Fuck yes! I am one happy man.

Intersting. I'm keen to hear other people's thoughts on that as turbo's aren't something I've dabbled with before...
Would keeping revs as dead low as possible and a crawling pace help?
