ok well i just finally finished my jdm h22a swap in a 92 prelude si. well i took it for a test drive. i did 2 laps around the block and when i got home and popped the hood it seemed like it was over heating??!! and i cant tell because my gauges gave out on me during the swap. the cover that goes over the header turned a different color. fumes were coming out around that area. i let it cool and checked the radiator and it was coroded in there. do you guys think the problem is the radiator? i know for sure i have to change it out. how much over heating does an engine need for it to go bad? thanks

 

sounds like the radiator may have been like that for a while. i would change it and the thermostat too while your at it. make sure the fan works also.

 

Man if its your radiator I have a fairly new one for sale...Im in Fort Worth so shipping wouldnt be that much...I need this thing out of my garage

im using a jdm p13. well the gauges were working fine until one time that i turned on the car. it smelled like soemthing fried in side the car. then i noticed that the gauges stopped working. everything works except i cant see the gas or the temp. everything else works fine.
