Re: b20vtec overheating (jordan02)
are your fans comming on, do you know if the thermostat is any good?
the thermostat would be something very easy to change, and should of been done at the end of your swap.

what kinda head are you using. some have a coolant drain on the water neck (gsr) located on passenger side. you can use it to get rid of the air it the hoses. or you can do it other ways.
or it could be a blown headgasket. remember just because there is no oil in the water or vise versa doesn't mean that it is not blown.

when you fill your radiator with coolant, do you burp the air out?
they'res a 12MM breather bolt on the water inlet neck.
crack this open, and let the air come out, then yoru idle should calm down, and all your problems should be solved.

Sounds like there might be coolant in your heater core.
Step 1:
Turn the temp in the car to hot, but don't turn blower on.
Step 2:
Take radiator cap off and fill with coolant water mixture
Step 3:
Start engine and let idle (w/radiator cap OFF)
Step 5:
Add coolant/water as necessary
Step 6:
Let car idle until radiator fan turns on (check temp gauge regularly)
Step 7:
Install radiator cap again/Test drive
Should be all good

Re: b20vtec overheating (2.0L EK)
also double check to see if the coolant lines are installed the right way
a lot of times that is the cause of overheating, when you've just performed a swap
