    Ok naman yung aircon system ko sir, actually kakapalinis ko lang ng aircon kanina. Gusto ko lang sana talaga mag-upgrade para mas cool yung engine bay.

    No amount of fan will significantly cool your engine bay.

    Either you open the hood or drive the car to force more cold air in and hot air out. The wont do this simply because of the enclosed nature of the engine bay.

    I mean bawas init lang sir, not actually to cool the engine bay, sorry for the wrong term I used.

    It's not needed. The car survived 21 years, apparently without any cooling system issues. Why change it now?

    Besides, "high-speed" doesn't come free... it requires a high current draw from a wiring that was probably not designed for it. You're also putting unnecessary load on the electrical system, battery, and the alternator. This translates to more engine drag and less usable horsepower, if you want to be pedantic about it.

    is the engine overheating?

    kasi,
    doing a thought experiment,
    it seems to me, that...
    kung hindi naman nag-o-overheat,
    strengthening the fan or upgrading the radiator won't amount to much,
    because the thermostat will close all possibilities when it chooses to close, regardless of what the fan's and radiator's capabilities are.
