Default Need some knowledge guys (JDM B16a w/ 18G Turbo set up)

Ok i finally got to dyno the beast this afternoon. Its a89 CRX w/ JDM B16 every thing done to it but sleeves, running 8.9:1 Comp...

@ 9 psi i managed to pull 220 whp/ 154 TQ.
We didnt boost anymore becuase it was 115 degrees out here in the bay area.

Thing that concerns me a bit is after the car cools down a bit i smell coolant.

I lift the hood to find out where its coming from and i see that the overflow res. is bubbling and overflowing. Ironic isnt it... the overflow tank "OVERFLOWING"

I have a Spoon thermostat but during the motor build up i couldnt see/find where the thermo switch was so i didnt install one.

COULD THIS HELP ME OUT???

Now some of you guys might say "get a new radiator" Well its really tight in the engine bay for me to put a thicker radiator. Im using the stock full radiator right now and its really close.

Becuase i have the CRX fluidyne doesnt make a radiator that will fit correctly. So... what is there for me to do?

I feel like the coolant in the radiator is about to pop... the temp gauge os reading normal, please help!!!

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Chris
