I put a civic rad in my DA and hooked it all up and filled it up and went for a test drive and it shot right up to H. I turned it off and wait a few hours and drove it the rest of the way home.

-brand new
-OEM integra pipes on it
-the pipes on the engine seem dry
-radiator seems like it is not flowing, it is cold to the touch and 1 minute after i shut it off i stuck my finger in the coolant and it was cold

is there like an air bubble in there or is it my water pump or what

 

I think you might of answered your question. I was about to reply on the water pump and the air bubbles.

 

did you fill it with coolant/water mixed 50/50 ??

drain it out and do a flush?

i put a del sol radiator in my DA with no problem.....

 

no, it says just dump in

and it was never used before

i got the air out i am gonna go test it again

 

if the thermostat is stuck, well thats that

 

it was air bubbles
