So does pressure.

A 1.1bar cap would put the boiling point of pure water around 250*F.

...

On the other hand, you would need approximately 75% antifreeze to do that:

I had a twin pass rad made in the uk and it sorted all my track temps. I see a max of 93c then once the fans start it pulls it down to 87-88c then keeps doing that cycle. Oil gets to 110c for reference. This is while doing about a 20 minute track session.
Nice. We're you running an airco?
What power were you making?
450hp ish, low reading dyno for uk standards.

What's an airco?

Most of the parts in the bay are heatwrapped, hood is vented, turbo just got a new blanket today.
I may drop the airco if this doesn't help enough. First going to see what the new radiator does.
Some others have already mentioned it, but I came into this thread to post about Water Wetter. The RX-7 community has been using it for a long time and it works well for them. I think switching to distilled water, adding Redline Water Wetter, and making some proper ducts will probably be all you need to bring temps down to a reasonable area. No need to lose the aircon.
