First- I changed the thermostat back to an OEM one, and it solved the temperature creeping up.
Second- I installed Mishimoto aluminum fan shroud with two SPAL VA10-AP70/LL-61A12V fans over Jackson Racing 2in1 radiator + oil cooler v2.0. I plugged them directly into the oem fan sockets. And they're doing a terrible job cooling the car while it's in low speed or stuck in traffic.
- My questions are,
1- why I'm I getting poor fan performance much worse than oem?
2- Do I need special relays in order for the mentioned fans to perform at full capacity?
3-I was think that NG of buying your quad hood vents + the radiator duct. I'm just worried the latter won't be compatible with JR 2in1 Radiator.
My goal is to have a stable coolant temp around 88-90C° in all different driving situation and with ambient temperatures of over 45C°
Thanks in advance for your kind help!

I'm not sure what is going on with your specific case but that should not be difficult. Our radiator and fan combo were able to cool my BRZ to those temperatures in 130 degree ambient heat in Arizona with a large front mount intercooler.
Is the radiator ducted well? Are the fans turning on fully? Is the radiator a quality unit?
I know with our install, the fans need a relay as the fans pull 25 amps, and the factory circuit is rated for 15 if I recall correctly.
