Does your engine temp goes higher when you climb uphills?
ok i just recently got a turbo kit installed in my 94 accord ex. everything else in my engine is completely stock and when i go uphill my stock temp guage goes a little past half way mark and when i'm on flat land it goes back to normal.. i don't floor it when i drive up hill and i don't hit boost. what is causing the temperature to rise? would using 5w30 synthetic cause the temp to go higher? also my stock oil cooler was taken out to fit in the intercooler. my fan was rewired so it turns on after my car shuts off. what should i do to make it run normal no matter what? do i need to upgrade my radiator? get a oil cooler? thanks!

i have two flex-a-lite fans going at all times. it might be over kill but it works, i also took out my a/c cause the condenser was right in front of the radiator, it made a big difference

A while back I was driving up a mountain and going full throttle through 3rd and topped out 4th...my temp gauge actually started to go down! It was about 45-50ºF outside and I guess I was going fast enough to keep it really cool, haha
