I have a 94 civic ex d16z6 engine with greddy turbo kit intercooled and i'm boosting 10 psi on stock everything. I know it is dangerous, but my car keeps on overheating when i run it hard, even just one time. I have replaced the radiator, thermostat and flushed the system with honda antifreeze and my head gasket is fine i guess. I dont have any water in the oil or i'm not leaking anything from around the head and it doesn't smoke from the exhaust. Also my turbo started to spit oil out of the intake side of it now and it leaks alot. Anyway my question is why is my car overheating and what is wrong with my turbo.

 

anyone??? PLEASE HELP

 

sounds like your turbo is going bad....as far as the overheating problem..this could also be cause by the turbo. Do you beat on the motor alot?

 

I get on it alot but not every stoplight or anyhting

 

how long have you had it?

 

i've had it since april 2003 and the turbo since september 2003

 

pull off all the piping and look at your turbo, before i got mine rebuilt the oil pan was smoking cause the oil inside was so hot!!

 

overheating has nothing to do with the turbo..

drain and flush your coolant. are all your fans coming on when they should be. how are you oil levels..

start there.
