Car Overheats
I just installed the greddy turbo on my 93 civic and when i drive the car hard it starts to overheat. What do you think could be the problem? Should i replace my termostat? if i do, should i replace it w/ one thats a higher temp. rating or lower?
Thanks
Troy

By the way when the car starts to overheat theres a smell coming from the exhaust or the motor. I can't really explain the smell, my friend said it smelled like ammonia. Could it be coolant? Does that mean it's the head gasket? Crap...what are the signs for a blown head gasket and how much do you think a shop would charge to install one? Thanks

Radiator could be clogged. Friend had the same problem, replaced it with another one and it worked fine.
Does your radiator reservoir bubble? if so then that could be it.
