zenki with sr20 blacktop all stock except fmic and dual electric fans.just recently installed a/c system.
for some reason when daytime when its running temp over half and keeps getting up but the funny thing only if i turn on the a/c,when a/c off it slow down become cool.
i have cx racing rad with dual fan and shroud that connected with individually relay.
it doesnt happen all the time only two or three time past 2 months but it just happened today and local weather is so hot,today is like over 100 degree

im affraid i have blown headgasket or something else.right now i cant think whats wrong with it.if anybody knows will appreciated.
how to check if i hv blown headgasket? or any other possibility
please neg comments behind.

Are you sure your compressor is good? when you refilled the system did you vacuum it down and add the right amount of oil? im guessing you retrofitted it to RF134 I'd throw the gauges on the system and check to see what readings your getting.

i dont think its the wrong oil bc the a/c works good for about a month but since the weather becoming so hot,now the problem shows up.so far i've been driving it without a/c and car running perfectly fine even good for boosting around,and i just notice its only happens during daytime when temp gets hot,i drove her tonight with a/c blasting and still fine

I didnt mean did you use the right oil i meant did you add enough,And if your ac is working hard it will cause your motor to work harder and in some cases it will even make it over heat. The problem I had a while back was low on oil and the condenser was all clogged up with dirt and crap so the system wasn't able to cool properly
