is your gauge working right? r your fans kicking on? double check your sensor connections. did you let the car run and open the bleeder valve on the thermostat housing after you filled it? if you get air pockets in the motor it can overheat. if the fans are not kicking on then either your gauge is not working or your fans are not. check your grounds man.

I got the stock gauge and a mechanical one which taps right into my upper radiator hose. And the fan comes on with the key for now.. I've bled it like 4 times lol.

Dlo, your f***ING cooling problems rubbed off on me...I'm driving home today on I5 and all a sudden there is just clouds and clouds of steam behind me and my temp gauge is way over heated...so I pull over immediately and steam is billowing out my hood. I look and check and water is all over the engine bay...the upper radiator hose burst so I had to play hell and tape it together to reach an oriellys...

Boosted: ya thats how i feel haha, oh btw... Wats ur name or a name you go by? So i can quit callin u boosted lol.

Skid: Hahah sharing is caring! thats shitty tho, fuckin tape hahah. whatever works in a pinch i guess right?

So got a little more time today. took an old thermostat and cut it open to run it with no thermostat, yet still have the gasket obviously haha. Filled radiator, bled the system.... It was actually circulating, radiator level dropped down finally and bottom hose got warm also. Temp gauge got up to operating temp and leveled out.. Id give her gas to get the pump spinning and the gauge shot down. I think we are making progress finally. Wont know until I get a chance to drive it around tomorrow to make sure its not gonna overheat. If not, im gonna be investing in a Mishimoto Tstat. I think after all this hassle it was just the shitty chinese "fail safe" Tstat opening WAAAAY to slow or not at all for some reason. Even tho it did open when i did the pan test. But whatever, we may be gettin somewhere now, idk y she has been fighting with me so damn much.

Yeah, I'm gonna try. If I get it figured out I'm gonna order that tstat today or Monday.then drive the hell out of it so I can make the cruise in my own car.

No problems with it? That's good to hear. I was wondering about it over cooling also since I have their radiator and 14" fan that comes on with the key. Whatever, as long as I'm not over heating anymore! Lol

hell yeah dlo! thats good s*** man. anybody looking for some blades im gonna be selling them but i figured i would ask the crew first. 150.00 for the crew if anybody is interested. they have good tires just a little camber wear on the inside. i have to get my alignment redone i guess. plus ill have the stock gsr injectors if anybody wants them thats not vtec i think they are bigger???? i have a lower front arm bar too thats used. i think its some cheap s*** but i felt the difference in handling. im sure ill have alot more stuff ill give away when i get back and we meet up. let me know if anybody is looking for anything im also gutting the car from behind the front seats and back so if you need a new back seat or any plastic peices let me know ill hook it up for the free... for the crew of course.

if you runn without a thermostat wont it just continuously keep cycling so then the water will stay hot instead of cooling like its supposed too? lol just saying cause the water goin in the block gets hot thermostat opens hot comes out cold goes in thermo closes lol with no thermo their is no cooling just heating lol but i might be wrong just a theory. and my names alex but most call me boosted lol nicknames come regularly as people get to me.
