my crx has a b16 turbo and when i turboed it i removed the full size for an eg radiator...and with the eg radiator and a pusher....i was overheating....so then i added a puller as well and i was still overheating...now i put a full size in after relocating the battery to the trunk and im still overheating....Cars headgasket is fairly new so it cant be that.....i just dont know does anyone have any ideas...

 

water pump?

 

Has the themostat and water pump been changed recently?

 

no they havent been changed but i think they are good

 

just because the headgasket is fairly new doesnt mean it isnt blown. Its not so much a wear item as it is a it will go when it damn well pleases item. Do a compression test but do check the thermostat first, check the top rad house and see it its warm.

 

After it starts to overheat, feel the radiator hoses to see if any of them are cold.

 

sounds like thermostat is stuck closed

 

time for a 170 degree thermostat. What does your afr look like?

 

right now its running lean top end...but i dont take it there...this only happens like when im highway driving 5th gear 4k rpm going like 60 the temp just starts climbing.....and i thoguht theres no way i could overheat with a full size stock rad...and yet i still am

 

when it started overheating both hoses were hot

 

you could have droped one of the sleeves. thats what happened to mine 3 brand new rad a headgasket and 3 thermostats pulled the head back off and took the metal ruler to make sure the block was flat that when i discovered i drop the sleeve in cylinder 3. im not saying thats what you did but it sounds close to the problem i had. It was time to get the block sleeved anyways
