just installed turbo system now running hot!!
 

I just installed a drag gen 3 turbo kit on my 95 ex with a B16A. When I drive it hard my temp gauge goes up to about 3/4 of the way to the top!! Is this a sign of my engine running lean? i have not yet installed my high flow in line fuel pump. Or do i need a bigger radiator?? Please Help!!

When I had a turbo-system installed on my '86 Fiero V6, it never ran hot, but it did run lean. So lean that at wot it detonated like crazy. When I had it on the dyno it was like the 4th of July in my engine. :D

I don't realy know anything about turbo but a newbie question, Do you have an Intercooler?

is there still enough radiator fluid in the radiator? and also how long do you drive the car under boost? like a couple gears or a couple miles?

yes it is intercooled

I am going to change the radiator fluid tonight (there is fluid but it looks old) and see what happens. I just got the sysem installed and drove it home about 15 miles and would only boost hard through the gears when I hit open roads so not that often.

get some denso spark plugs (colder spark) i forgot what kind though that will help, get a cosmetic head gasket also
