Re: Ideas to get car to run cooler??
The cats not clogged just replaced it. What the signs of a blown head gasket? There is no sweet smell coming from the exhaust like when coolant usually burns and no smoke. There also nothing leaking in the engine bay. I think it's that big *** EVO intercooler blocking 95% of the radiator that's doing it.

My car ran great sometimes, hot others. No loosing coolant. If there is a small leak, the cylinder pressure and such pushes into your water jackets super heating it.
No Loss coolant, No Smoke. Replace the HG and call it a day.

Re: Ideas to get car to run cooler??
I just got my turbo setup installed and running and noticed that my car runs really hot too. After about 15 minutes of even no boost driving the coolant temp is about 210 degrees and will creep up past that. I am running a stock CRX radiator w/ 2 10" slimline fans - one pushing and one pulling. It looks like there is some oil seeping between the head and the block
The other crap in the area was because there was no freaking o-ring on the distributor.
