ok i just did a b16a swap into an eg and we broke the radiator... my brother then bought one from kragen for 100 bucks and when we hooked it and started around it was overheating so we then bled the radiator and it stopped overheating.. but when it is at idle and not moving it starts to overheat.. is it cause the radiator is so small or is it just something else wrong.. should i try bleeding the radiator more?

Try bleeding it more.

chuniepatuni

wheres the fan switch?

if the fan doesnt kick on then obviously you need a new fan, if it's not the fan then you probably need a bigger radiator or a high performance radiator, if the high performance radiator doesnt work then you need to upgrade to a fan that flows more air and if its still over heating get an aftermarket thermostat. if you get all three of these things and it's still overheating then you might need a new water pump or it could possibly be that there isnt enough coolant to sufficiently cool the engine

If it overheats while sitting, but not while driving. That makes me think its:
1. air in the system
2. faulty fan
3. faulty radiator
