I changed radiators because im am currently turboing the car and the compressor side of the turbo didn't fit with the old radiator so i had to go back to a civic half size raidator. This is why i got a Koyo radiator as it is a lot larger in capacity than the civic one but is still only a half size one.

yes, well there were no problems prior to the radiator change and it isnt really displaying the symptoms of a bad thermostat but i will change it anyway.

nah no warnings, but i didnt mix coolants anyway.

my guess is there are some bubbles in the system.. what kind iof overflow is it - is it hot as hell? does the collant look fresh in the overflow bottle, or off coloured.
Yes, i swicthed to a half size (more explained above).

The overflow is hot. Yes the coolant looks fresh, no discolouration whatsoever.
