car=ek with b18c1

i was wondering if there is a point to do this if you already have a hondata intake manifold gasket, the only reason im thinking about it, is because even with the gasket the intake manifold is still pretty warm-hot.

also i heard theres another thing u can do if your going to do this??

 

you might want to ask around in the all motor or forced induction forum.

Most of the people in here only know about body kits or chassis codes.

Personally I don't think there is any point unless you are seeing really high temps.

 

lol, my car starts to overheat if i sit in one spot for a while. thats y i ask. and im running a half radiator

i don't think that will help you very much.

what kind of motor/setup are you running?

 

you car will overheat if:
1. air in the system - bleed it out
2. Clogged RAD. get a new one.
3. blown Headgasket. - replace it
4. dead theremostat. - replace it
5 . fan isnt runing. electrical problem, possibley temperature sensor or fan is just dead.

from your description, the fan isnt running.

start there.

BTW the 1/2 rad works awesome. thats not the problem. I sh!tkick my car and it has NEVER overheated. turboed B18C in a EJ

EDIT 2: did you remove the sheet of plastic beside the RAD? that is there to force air thru the RAD instead of going around it. or are you running a FMIC, then you gotta take it off.

 

would this mod help all motor people as well as boosted people? sry for the noob questions

find out exactly what it does then figure it out.

never mind

it blocks coolant from running through the hot IM and heating the coolant even more. I think it may increase your air temps but should reduce your coolant temps. So if your coolant is getting real hot becasue of you IM then it would help. Mostly done on turbo cars to avoid heat soke....

but this is just from what understand and have read, i personally have no experience with this setup and am just trying to help as I can. Once again I may be way off but I think that is the basic idea.

 

this is a good one.

if you get the standard gasket you cant bypass the coolant -to-manifold cause the race gasket is the only one that does not have a hole where the manifold and head meet, just look at the pics its not hard to figure out
