Just looking for some opinions, First the issue, my temp is slowly rising. I have attached an image of my temp logged every 30 seconds for a 17 min cruise.
The temp log was taken driving around roads where I was driving between 20-40 M.P.H, but mostly cruising around 30(neighborhood).
My Setup:
I have a new motor with ~35 miles on it. I am trying to get it broken in, but it is hard when I can't take it for more than a 20 min drive without it getting too hot to drive.
I have the punishment racing aluminum radiator kit with the 2 fans it comes with.
And in front of it is the Punishment racing 1G FMIC kit.
I have a FP cast exhaust housing & external wastegate O2 housing, with no heat shields(maybe that should be what I try first)
I have checked the normal things(no coolant leaks, new thermostat, coolant systme is keeping pressure, fans are both pulling air in through the radiator into the engine bay, etc.)
I was reading a lot about ducting, before I build ducting, is there anything else I should check/try, or is building ducting to the radiator my only option(my hood has a vent already)
Thanks in advance,
