Does anybody have overheating problems with Del Sol double core radiator on B18B1 engine? Today when driving in 97F heat my Water Temp gauge showed 235F (I was driving 80-90mph). Water pump has 15k miles on, thermostat is new, no A/C. Usually it gets up to 220F when driving like that but today it was weird...
Should I upgrade to Integra radiator or Del Sol is adequate?
What water temp. are you guys running in this hot summer?
Thanx!

check to see if the cooling fan comes on. run wires from your battery directly to calling fan to see if it works.

 

Should be fine, but do like he said and maybe check your thermostat and see if its opening.


Thanks, J

 

fan turns on just fine. Remember, the temperature got that hot ONLY while driving 80+ mph. @ that speed you don't need the fan because the volume of the air rushed through the radiator is so much more than the fan can blow through.
