Hey, I noticed you have your the rear of your hood washered up. (or atleast it looks like it in the picture) This could be whats causing the over heating. This is actually a high pressure area, as air becomes detached from the hood and then goes over a small bubble hear before re attaching to the windshield. I would personally recomend sealing the area between the radiator and front of car, otherwise the air can (and will) just bypass the radiator.

Other than that, nice setup you got there. I've got to rebuild my spare B-16, and put the turbo back on, is lonely with out boost.
