John, it really depends on how much fuel you allow in, and how big the intercooler and how restrictive is the exhaust. My 80 never goes over 850F but the troopy is running with much more fuel in the IP and a much smaller intercooler so I can get it to 1050F on a steep long hill pushing it in 5th at 70 mph. All temps are pre-turbo.
The 1FZ-F to 1HZ with safari industrial turbo (mild) troopy project has been beset with overheat issues despite oil cooler and top mount intercooler. Albeit in the heat of Dubai.@ofer bruhis I have had 2 middle eastern land cruisers and as you said. I have no sympathy for any mechanics who worked like this. Those poor trucks lived a very hard life. It took a lot to get the mechanicals back to useable. My friend @Chamba is going thru his own nightmare now with “lipstick on a pig” vehicle or “ silk purse out of a sows ear”. Which ever makes the most sense. After reading SO MANY horror stories, unless I actually visit the vehicle before purchase, I won’t go near it. Unless no matter what, it’s an awesome deal
The tipping point has really shifted
We converted water to air into air to air on a 62 with a 1HDT and dropped 150F on EGT. I’m a fan of the least complicated solution and air to air is passive. Not much that can go wrong. And much easier to install. Hot environment definitely does not help EGT.
This looks similar to the fuel filter housing I upgraded to on my Kzj78. I believe there was an unofficial winter package for the 70 series Prado and part of it was a fuel filter housing with a heating element in it.
Didn't watch the video but had the same problem with one of my 12ht. Had the starter converted to 12V by a local shop but would barely spin past the compression stroke. Tried another 12V starter I had on the shelf from the same shop. Same issue. On a hunch wired 2 batteries for 24V and it spun fine and started right up. So for me it was the starter being 'converted' improperly.
I always do my own. The only lugs I use are Paduit. Crimp and use marine grade with glue hear shrink. They never ever fail.
Custom Cable and Wire in GA make great custom length battery cables with your choice of terminals- marine grade tinned wire and terminals with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. It really doesn't cost much more than the materials themselves, and they do a quality job. Great resource for marine grade electrical wire and fittings.

I would be surprised if Napa had anything close to the quality of the wire that Custom Cable uses. Their prices are the best I've found for high quality tinned, multi-strand cable.
If interested in a cable set, message me and can try to help out. My prices are a little cheaper that Custom Cables and include free shipping.
Oh dang, I forgot about them. I ordered a set for my 60 way back when and they're still in the box. Never got around to installing them.I would be surprised if Napa had anything close to the quality of the wire that Custom Cable uses. Their prices are the best I've found for high quality tinned, multi-strand cable.
Also, in case you were not aware, mud member @Fourrunner sells a really nice heavy duty wiring upgrade "kit", and I think he's done one for a 12HT 60 series at some point. If I did not already have experience with Custom Cable I probably would have used one of his kits when I upgraded my big boy wires. Worth a look.
