I have tried to search but can't find any symptoms which match mine.
I have a ek9 engine in my civic Jordan rally car. On my last rally I had overheating issues. So during the rally we removed the thermostat (which did look a bit past it) but still it overheated. We then noticed the top hose from the radiator had collapsed. So we bled the system and this did seem to help a little for the last stage we did.
So after the rally I replaced the water pump the thermostat and the water temp sender.
Today I was at a track day to see if I had cured my problem but sadly not. After 3 laps the temp was on the rise then at end of 4th lap was nearly at top of the Gauge so I pulled in and bled the system again. Out we went but same issues again. So back in and I removed the new thermostat. Back out but same overheating again after 4 laps. So I then decided to try bypassing the heater matrix but still the result was the same. The coolant looks nice and clean and the fan does come on as its set with hondata. The radiator is a quite new.
Anyone able to help as I'm not sure what to try next.
