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

[doonbar]

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

nah the air bleed. it just doesnt have one. weird but i did the thermo change anyways.

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.

ive refilled the water and its running fine now..fan works fine, gona do a service on it tomorrow, should be fine =]

thanks alot mang

took the car to hannys today, they checkd and said it was the head gasket..
gona cost me 1k to repair.

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..=[

Have you got a cold air intake in it?

[intk20A]

The problem that you have is your thermostat is stuck open....
What usually happens is the thermostat will stay shut until a pre determined temperature of around 93 degrees and then it will open allowing coolant to flow around the system.

when it is stuck open it flows from start up so the coolant takes longer to warm up...

Replace your thermostat and you should be fine....

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

That is why you are getting an incorrect reading on your gauge, the thermostat offers restriction in the cooling system, which allows the coolant to soak up heat from your engine, when you remove the thermostat the coolant flows to fast and cant absorb the heat from the engine.....

You can cause alot of damage running your car like this because your gauge wont let you know when the system is to hot......

*slaps head* --- Remember, its fluid not static. As there is continuous flow in the cycle, it doesn't really matter the rate of flow past the engine into the radiator, water is always in contact with the block etc ..

I've heard a few people say this before -- I can't see any logical sense behind it. The main bad as many have stated is running the car at a temp it was not designed to be run at (i.e. due to the expansion / contraction of metals at certain heats and induced tolerances).
