Please help a JRSC car driving in Texas summer and overheating
So I have a JRSC with HBP tuned from CSG. Everything was fine until this heat dome came over where I live and I had commute in ambient temp 105 F (heat index 115 F). I have all the stock setup meaning the intercooler, supercharger oil cooler and the JRSC track oil cooler are all mounted in front of the stock OE radiator. The stock OE radiator was missing those air guides. I put them back in and installed brand new fender liners. When I drove out in the morning with ambient temp 85-90 F, no overheating issues. But when I drive in the afternoon, once the coolant temps climb past 204 F (96 C), there is no coming down after that. Yesterday it climbed all the way to 214 F (101 C), so I rolled the windows down and blasted full heat. That brought down temps below 200 F (92 C) and I made my way home. I take it as a sign that the coolant is moving the heat atleast to the heater core ? Just drove the last half mile with A/C on again, coolant temps climbed back up to 210 F (99 C). I recently have had a pressure test done, which showed great numbers and I recently drained and filled original OE coolant. Had it burped again just a couple of days ago. Before anyone tells me to get a vented hood, Jackson racing races the same setup with a non-vented hood in the same temps and don't have this problem. Can someone help me out please ? What the hell am I missing ?
