Recently my car has been starting to run slightly hot,92 civic hatch, and i feel it is because of the new intercooler, takes up the whole opening in the bumper. I have my oil cooler mounted facing down horizontal with the road, and was wondering if this would be a good idea to do with the radiator. it seems that the only real hard part about mounting the radiator horizontally would be that I might have some flow issues, and would have to run custom plumbing.
Another idea I had in mind would be to make a custom air duct that will force some cool air into the radiator. it kinda sucks i can run a smaller intercooler because I will lose power, yet I am going to hurt the engine if it keeps running hot.

as for the cooling system now, I have a fluidyne radiator, electric fan, running water wetter in there too. I also have an oil cooler on the car as well. I am really just worried about the thing running a little hot sometimes, and if it can be fixed i want to fix it.

oem radiator? oem fan? that my be ur issue.

Idk, i run the spearco fmic that comes with the drag kit and i have no cooling issues, it takes up the whole grill part of my bumper.

My needle stays a tad under the middle on the oem cluster...

autometer water temp gauge, and its not a really big deal just after about 30 mins of driving in traffic it'll consistently say about 75 degrees above normal.

i have a precision intercooler, and what is this drag thing that comes with the spearco one.
