Its been alongtime since my last post and thought I should tell you all the latest.I have a 1989 Nissan Patrol GQ td42 with a turboglide turbo.I had problem with it overheating last summer trip to Sth Australia whilst towing.I raised the bonnet some two inches nearest the windscreen,installed a snorkel,added more oil to the viscous fan,got it dynoed and the injector pump tested and adjusted.It still overheats when towing.One question I have,what about removing the sound deadening material under the bonnet?I want to mount a intercooler but since the Turboglide turbo sits(mounts) rather high above the exhaust manifold,its making a position for the intercooler difficult.

PS:when I say overheating,The exhaust temp goes up to 580 celcius before I back off on the accelerator.The engine temp climbs a fair bit but has never boiled.

regards andy
