Man i am having the exact issue... and i live in houston. I cant drive mid day cuz of this heat...i dont know the exact temps im at but i know its way above normal (3-4 bars above normal)
I have a custom front facing turbo set up too...i just bought a koyo radiator and stock fans. so hopefully that will help my temps. next step for me is to buy a spare hood and cut the inserts out.
Most discomforting thing to see while driving is your coolant temps so high lol stupid houston/texas weather

Hondata flashpro...I was just too lazy to hook it up to see the temps. That was me cruising on the freeway. But as soon as I get to lower speeds it cools down a little bit. It fluctuates a lot in this Texas weather.

Actually was about to start a thread on this.
On hot days I'll get warm AC and temps that start to creep up to ~205 which concerns me. I have a FullBlown Radiator + Mishimoto fan shroud + fans and it'll still hit that.
I've been considering going with the Spoon thermostat, fan switch, rad cap and bleeding the system (again) to make sure everything is good. Also think adding on a cooling plate and venting the hoot would help as well.
Any other suggestions?

Are you guys doing anything to seal off the radiator? Simple foam trick should help a little bit. Also, check your A/C condenser and straighten out any bent fins.

If you have an AEM your ECT calibrations are incorrect and reading high.
