94 Vti-R running cool (not in a good way)

do you mean the coolant drain tap? There's a tap at the bottom of your radiator but no air bleed.

hey guys,
i think i have a similar problem with my vtir 94

the radiator is boiling, and the temp goes all the way to H...i had to stop the car to let the whole engine cool down...

and on idle, the temp rises to bout 3/4 to H, and revving at 1.500rpm, just on idle..sometimes at 2.

ive read the previous posts but those problems are either running under normal 40% temp or heating but to not my extent.

How is your coolant level?
I would flush out the coolant and get some new coolant in there, also does your fan come on?

You might have a coolant leak somewhere, if coolant level is fine and your fan doesn't come on then I'd have the fanswitch replaced.
It could also be caused by a thermostat dying/being stuck closed so no coolant will flow through, in which cause you'd need to get the thermostat replaced.

swapping the head gasket would cost too much, hanny's wasnt specific, i took it few other palces they go 1k no way..
so i took it to my dad's friends one, they're swapping a 2nd b18c in it as we speak, hope she comes home soon..=[

I reckon this is a problem with newer engines

I got a 1990 model integra, the temp use to be middle all the time.. shoot up straight away.. even at 140k's in winter now.. it was still warm.. the engine.

I recently got a full ENGINE change to a 2001 model and now the temp stays at Cold sometimes when im punching it on the m4 it gauge just conks out, as if i just started the car on a cold morning.. then i slow down at a red light or something all u see..it goes back up to about 1/5 NEVER EVER reaches the middle, always less.. MAX i got it up to and that was on the spot reving, riding my clutch and burning shit.. lol was about.. 2/6

These engines are TOO cold myn is a GSi you guys are all running vtecs i reckon yours should be much warmer than myn.

oh and guys i removed my thermostat, my last one blew my headgasket lol
