Ok, heres the deal. 89 D16a1 rebuilt w/ stock internals. Bored .020 over, and the head is milled .020. K26 turbocharger, custom turbo manifold. External w/g With johnny race car FMIC. chipped pm6 running turboedit basemap. 450cc dsm injectors.
I did a compression test, 225 225 220 225. I did a leakdown test. 2% on all 4. H/G isnt blown. The thermostat is gutted. Im running a dual core hf radiator. The water pump is new, but it makes kind of a funny but hardly noticalbe gurgleing noise. Im thinking... maybe its not working right or the impeller is rotating on the shaft.... is that even possible?
also, i keep my fan on consistantly. I put it on the outside of the engine bay to start, than moved it to the inside. I also put in some water wetter. none of this helped. Ive tried it with my ignition retarted slightly and also with it advanced. i dont have a timeing light so i dont know what it is.
It overheats in boost or not. If im going down the interstate it overheats. If i dont go anything above 50 mph or so in 5th gear it stays around 1/2 way up on the guage. as soon as i get on it say after 1 or 2 pulls through 3rd gear its up 2/3ds or higher, and itll get all the way to the red if i dont let of and go really easy on it.
This is all on a 1g crx hf, with integra wireing. Thanks for any help
