or b16 can not handle INTEGRA ALUMINUM RACING RADIATOR.


anyone have suggest can help me out

 

gotta learn to write stuff out a little better man

I'm guessing you didn't burp it right and theres an air bubble in there somewhere.

 

tell your friend the thermo has nothing to do with it. tell him you forgot to burb the system and that was all, and now the your car runs great!

 

tell me what is burb the system what is that mean...sorry i don't know much about the engine

 

Ok first let the car cool down all the way

Make sure the coolant is topped off

Leave the radiator cap off

Then start the car with the heat on hot/defrost FULL BLAST

As the engine/coolant warm up, watch the radiator and fill with more coolant if the coolant level goes down.

Once the temp gauge is at normal and the heat comes out hot, put the cap back on and you should be ready to go.
