Hello
I have a Glanza V which tends to get a bit hot when sitting in traffic during hot weather.
Since it only happens while standing still and not really when it gets enough air flow during driving I expect it might be caused by the radiator fan.
If I turn on the heater before it gets hot its usually able to stay on the right temperature but I would like to fix this issue for good.
Some info about the car:
- CT9 hybrid turbo
- FMIC
- Air intake relocated to front bumper (looks like the ID Workz kit)
- 0.8 bar boost
- Civic half rad(50mm) with fanshroud and 12" fan (unknown brand)
I have a few questions in trying to figure out what might be causing the overheating and trying to fix it.

I have a few questions in trying to figure out what might be causing the overheating and trying to fix it.
- How can I check if the fan is functioning correctly? Should it turn on once the car is at operating temperature or only when its starting to overheat
- 50mm radiator should be sufficient but (potentially budget) fan might be an issue. What amperage draw can a Glanza handle for a fan?
- Is it worth to create a (aluminum) shroud between air intake and turbo?
- Any other things I should check?
