Default no coolant coming from radiator? need help. input appreciated.

just installed my gsr motor and turbo. took it for a test drive and it feels so nice. But after like 2 minutes i looked under the hood and it was really hot. the upper radiator hose was extremely hot and the lower hose (that puts coolant into the block) was just normal no heat whatsoever. It is a new fluidyne radiator and flexalite fan. the fan, also was not coming on. for the fan i just spliced the new wires into the old plug and plugd it into my harness. my radiator is full of coolant so what could the problem be? My buddy thought it might be a bad water pump or thermostat. its a 97 gsr motor in a 98 civic body. any input is appriciated.
thanks alot, chris
