How much coolant do I need to flush the coolant in my b16?
Thanks...

 

Flushing involves running water through the system until clear......then draining.....just so you know.

I usually just get a gallon of coolant and a gallon of water 50/50.

Poor into radiator until full....shake car to get bubbles out of radiator....run car for about a minute and then add more coolant. repeat until impossible to add more coolant.

 

I would just take it to a shop and spend the $45.00 to have them flush and pressure test the whole thing. It saves you time, for buying the coolant, and where would you dump it?

Whatever you do, don't drain it into the storm drain or into the ground. It will only poison you and your children in the future.

 

When I did my swap, we used a bleed valve right near where the upper hose meets the head. Make sure system is full and sealed. Unscrew valve until no more bubbling (steady stream of coolant) then close. No air in system.

 

coolant smoolant........pure water ownz

 

Im familiar with HOW to flush the coolant, I just need to know about how much I will need. I have a b16 with a fluidine radiator.

 

50/50

 

How much as in gallons, not in coolant/water ratio... Thanks...

 

if it is the fluidyne radiator for a 92-95 civic, then it is approximately 1 gallon.

 

What's a "fluidyne" radiator?

 

an aftermarket radiator that cools and flows a lot more than stock. it's also a lot thicker than stock and polished. nice if you're FI but probably over kill if you're NA
