I had a Vitara commercial which I fit a bosch and tweaked turbo etc. I had to have a fan on the front and back of the rad working almost all the time to keep it cool if you were working the engine

I want to marinise my 2ltr H D I engine, no radiator, no heater matrix. How critical is the cooling on this engine? Thanks in advance for help.

Surely you could just keep the water pump and have the 2 rad hoses routed to the sea? But then it might need bleeding everytime it goes into the water. Hdi's dont make tonnes of heat though, not like an xud anyway.
Doesnt even own a 306.

A heat exchanger in sea water might work, but doubt you want salt water running round your internals, never mind all the actual crap that's actually floating about in the sea
