ok, heres the problem. i have a 91 integra with a 98 b18b1 engine. the engine has a lot of mods to it. p&p head, oversized valves, web racing cams, port matched i.m. and over bored t.b., well you get the idea. my problem is there is a TON of heat coming off the engine/head. its to the point i cant hold my hand on the hood if i've been driving for a while. i dont realy need to be runing it that hard either.

i am using the ngk plugs, 7 heat range. is this normal? my engine temp stays normal, i've got new hoses/thermostat. i just dont want to burn the paint on the hood. please help if you can.

 

My hood gets too hot to touch too, but my ECT reads max 195 degrees, so I would not worry too much. Two

 

how does the a.f.r. look? maybe get a aluminum replacement? flyidyne, koyo, C&R.. or you could try some heat wrap on the header (theres a post on it, just posted to it, but.. forgot if its here or in drag racing) also maybe try a hondata intake manifold gasket.. supposed to lower the intake manifold temp..

 

is ur EGR working correctly!

 

egr huh? i'll have to look into this. where on the 98 b18b would this be?

i thought it might be that i have a breather filter on the valve cover, but i hooked it up and it made no difference. back to the drawing board.
