Re: eg hatch b20b questions plz help!
Do you have an OEM thermostat installed correctly? Is it opening? Have you bled your coolant system? These are all basic things you should have told us in the original post.

If you havent done this or had someone else do it, you should atleast take a gauge and check the quality of your coolant. Its a bulb squeezing tool and should tell you your temperature capabilities and its cheap at a parts store. Radiator fluid doesnt last forever and needs to be changed like any other fluid, just at different mileage levels. Good luck.

have you checked the coolant level? are there any leaks?
if you car is overheating bad enough to shut off, the engine could be permanently damaged.

when i had my b20v in my sol i had a similar problem but i never over heated to the point of shut off..just warmed up a lil more when i was in it but always cooled back down to running temp. i read a few places that it was due to improper air movement.
