alright on my turboed car im having a super hard time with it over heating. ive "burped the system countless times (radiator cap off)
ive replaced the thermostat 3 times thinking i had faulty ones.
stil over heated so i just took it out and it still over heats.
ive fixed all the leaks that i can see. i had 2.
my fan is wired up so that while inside the bay its pulling air in.

now it seems that on the highway for the most part its ok. but better when the heats on and slowly creeps down to normal opperating temp. i could also let it idle for what seems like for ever without it over heating.

im not running coolant to the throttle body nor to the iacv.

im so fed up with this thing i just got it tuned and want it fixed by the weekend i just dont know were to start. i would hate to through parts at it without knowing what could be wrong.

 

i am having the exact same issue today

i also did everything on your list

 

Airflow to the rad, too much heat under the hood.. your cooling system isn't efficient enough.

I think its so funny when guys have a small single core half rad on a huge angle with a single ebay fan, and a big front mount blocking all airflow and there asking why their car is overheating. :/ Then add miles of exhaust manifolds and other hot things under there with no coatings on them.

Theres also a million threads on this. Same thing happened to me in my crx 5 years ago. The rad needs airflow!

 

i have a koyo dual core radiator and really nice fan on there not from ebay. i just got retuned at 515 and have had the same radiator/fan/intercooler setup for the past 3 yrs now.

 

i been at it all day , i noticed at the end the fan as pulling vs pushing threw the rad, i hope that was the issue.

also for driving around what is the max temp the car should be at , i seen today about 200f

 

Well hopefully that can fix it... by the way do you have a thermostat in it?

 

Never mind on that comment.... I see u dont have one in there now.. not really sure what can be the problem unless you want to just put some water wetter in it to cool it down...

 

im gonna pull the hood off and see if it still over heats.

 

pull the bumper off. the hood isn't gonna do anything for airflow through the radiator.

its so weird i am having the exact same issue for two days now

motor has about 200k on it and im running water and water wetter, i bled the system completely and even tried a new rad and thermostat and she still gets to over half.

i really have no idea what is going on, i did a new turbo manifold and installed a t04z which takes rad lines to cool her down

 

Have you guys checked your water pumps?94

 

so far i think i found my issue, its so stupid but so far car is running fine, i did a leak down test and motor is healthy ,, i removed one flap i had covering the vent on the passenger side where fog lights would usually go and so far so good. the rad wasnt really getting any air from outside doto the cooler being in the way

 

Sounds like headgasket issues.
