turbo b16 overheating on hot day???
never have had an over heating problem but over the last weeekend it was hitting 100 degrees were im at. i had a drive on the freeway for about 30 minutes and the heat gauge would start to creep up. the only way to stop it is put my heat on fulll blast.
radiator with fan constantly on, 70/30 mix with watter wetter, hood spacers, new 170' thermostat, just got her tuned at church...
it was the first time this baby has been in 100 degree weather...so maybe thats it. any tips would help or ideas. im going to wrap some stuff in dei thermo wrap...but is there something wrong.
is there any way to be able to blast the heat but divert outside the car because having it about 130 degrees in the car is not bueno.

What's the radiator / fan setup? Pics may help as well...just to show proximity of radiator to manifold, turbo, etc...

Do you have a water/oil temp guage? An EGT (exhaust gas temp.) guage would also help. What size radiator are you using? Fan type?
