Ive got a 97 prelude with a jdm h22 w h23 tranny chipped to obd1. I was hoping i wouldnt have the same problems as the motor had in the car i pulled it from. It cept blowing the heater core hoses off so the last guy ran one line from the back to the thermostat housing and bypassed the heater core. It ran fine and didnt overheat. Now i have it in my car that i run on the dirt track so i kept all the hoses the same. Now it doesnt overheat but the top radiator hose swells to like twice it size and eventually it starts spraying out the radiator cap and maybe other places not sure. I raced last nite and almost won til the last lap when water sprayed out on my dizzy and coil causing me to loose all my power. I bled the system number of times also, anyone have any other ideas?? Thanx

 

did you check your t-stat?

 

yea i took it out and ran the car for half an hour here in my driveway to make sure everything was good to go b4 i went to the track and it was fine, hoses didnt swell and temp only got up to 190 then i turned my fan on and it went down to 170. Then i get to the track and it started acting up again, top rad. hose started gettin hard and swelling like a balloon. I get ready to go out for the main race and i loose all power, pull it in and here i have no spark Changed the coil and wires, checked all my wires i had recently rewired to the dizzy and everything looked good. Not sure if it could be the dizzy cus it was acting up in practice by sputtering. Im bidding on 2 diff. jdm h22 dizzys with internal coil, can i just hook them up and use them or do i have to rewire anything for the internal coil?
