Hi Blade
took a look at your web site , very nice .
I saw the car , good clean and very good result for a DIY job .
i can't agree more with you , in many rural countries mechanics are just hammer and screwdriver and a bit of steel wire...
all you can do yourself is a big bonus .
today I was in Switzerland , and thought about you , ha ha ha .
on the return on highway , flat , 110 kmh ,EGT 300 .
your car must not overheat .
start from the cause , don't cure the effects !
I take the point on the fact that Toyota engine HZ1 is not that common in S.America , but neither in Canada or USA !
My strong suspect is that the tuning of your pump is not right , even if made by a denso pumpist .
once I had mine fixed by a Denso pumpist , the car was very reactive , acceleration and speed very good , too good, in a blast it went to 150 kmh .
the down side was the EGT , far too high for my use .
The pumpist was used to fix racing cars !
we had to remix the job .
the only place where there are selling and regularly using these kind of car in America are in the mines .
look for a mechanic next to the mines or that is servicing them .
maybe if you go to Toyota in Santiago ,they should give you some directions , where to find the right guy.
of course , bug mesh , whinch , altitude , poor fuel , all adds up , but to get low heat from the motor you need to start with low EGT .
For that , you need only to fix the carburation , that is through the pump -injector.
found the old post from a friend of us .
same story as yours , even worst!
finally she got the right man !
The man is Felix Duran in Salta , Argentina, he has worked with Toyota for many years and fixes toyotas for mining industries .
if you are near try him .
let me know the results !
