Ight I have a B18C1 in my 92 Hatch and im running the stock radiator now here is my issue, at first the water pump was bad and I replaced that, put a new ECT (was bad also) in, and a new thermostat. Car ran great at the normal spot for a little while. Went on a long drive (about 150mi's) and the temp gauge fluxuated a little (rose and came back down) and didnt think anything of it, maybe it was an air pocket or something. Well today I was on the highway getting it in 3rd and shifted into 4th noticed it was going up a bit and let off the gauge went back to normal. I dont know what to think now give me some ideas or suggestions. Im stumped. Should I upgrade my radiator?

 

12 years. yeah i would. itll help. along with a full flush.

 

i would change the radiator just becuase of its age, you said you changed it but how old is the thermostat, maybe its locked shut?? have you ever replaced the head gasket?

 

well the motor has 80k on it, the headgasket does not leak but it probably could use a change. I know many peeps using the stock radiator with b series swaps. Any OE upgrades I could do that are fairly inexpensive?

 

del sol radiator...its dual core.

 

anyone have one for sale? lol
