Default over heating problem

hi, i am wondering if anyone have the same problem and would be nice enough to tell me......... i have a built gsr block with stock head with just valve spring and retainer in my 95 civic hatch back with a C&R radiator and electric water pump oh and its turbo charged

and my question is why does it keep over heating i change the thermalstat, and
my fan turns on when i turn my key to ACC and i also check the temp sensor to make sure my cluster is not messed up but it keeps overheating and i am wondering if i should change my radiator to an integra one

i always have to add coolant in the morning that **** is pissing me off please help

Do you see it leaking anywhere, and are you burning any coolant? Check your plugs and see what color they are.

Also, I'm not ssure on how those electric water pumps work. More insight please.

it comes with a block off plate where the stock water pump goes and it has an electric water pump i hook it up to ACC so it turns on before the motor does

which way does the coolant goes? the short coolant hose has coolant
going into the engine or coming out from the short coolant hose?

cause the electric water pump is mounted on the transmission and i think you can only put the water pump only one way on the mounting plate they give you

oh and the color of my plugs are hella black

its not leaking from anywhere thats why im scared its my motor i have darton pro sleeves 84.5mm close deck but has holes if anyone has the same set up and same problem let me know its pissing me off cause i throw hella money into it but pleas if anyone knows or thinks they know let me know please THANX
