I gotta turboed d16a6 in my ef hatch. I blew the head gasket and replaced it. Now it keeps overheating. I thought it couldve been the radiator so i replaced it to with an eg half sized one. I also Took the thermostat out. Maybe it could be the water pump but the radiators flowing good. Im stuck. Please help. Rep will be given for opinions.
Thanks.

 

New water pump and an aluminum radiator

 

is there any 50/50 antifreeze in it?

 

when you blow a head gasket you can also screw the head if the head is screwed up its not going to run right and overheat, usaully when you blow a head gasket you should send your head out to be checked, that might be your prob

 

more info

how fast does it overheat?
does it run good before overheating?

 

Yes runs perfect before it overheats. It will overheat about ten minutes after driving it. But when i see the temp going up I park it. Yes it has 50/50 in it. Hopefully the head isnt warped. Who knows.

 

I got money on the head being warped...wouldnt a leak down test tell you if it is?

 

after you refilled the coolent did you blead your coolent system.?

 

either warped head or water pump interior fins rusted/coroded away. IMHO that is

 

any smoke as if a burning coolant? maybe compression or leakdown test. also be sure you bleed the system properly
