My 2g is running hot on the highway at 60+ mph. I have both fans connected but I've heard that they don't really do anything over 30 mph. This problem does NOT occur when just driving around town or sitting in traffic. It seems to only happen in fifth gear at 60 or higher. I do have a FMIC but I have also removed the AC to get more air through the radiator and it helped but did not get rid of the problem. My water pump is new and I have just gotten a cooling system flush to get rid of any debris but the problem persists.
I was thinking of running a duct from the side vent where the SMIC used to be to get more cool air to the radiator instead of the hot air comming through the FMIC. Any tips or advice would be helpful.
