Re: 1993 eg coupe Overheating issue
im still checking everything alllll the time.. under normal conditions its fine..
will deff post when ever i fix it.. not tooo worried about fixing it right this secondd.. kinda unmotivated since i jusssttt pulled the head and replaced head gasket spending like 250 bucks on studs, gasket and resuface.. idk .. its hard to pinpoint.. everything is leading to head lift but i am really thinking if it was head lift id be loosing coolant but i mean who knows... all i can think is that i re tq the heads and get a bigger radiator and hope it fixess it...

Re: 1993 eg coupe Overheating issue
If you're lifting the head and purging pressure into the cooling system, you probably won't lose any coolant. As long as the cylinder pressure is higher than the coolant system pressure (which isn't hard) then you could just be displacing some coolant into the overflow tank. But, there are other possible explanations too...

Assuming your radiator is in decent shape,it shouldn't have any problems dealing with short bursts of full throttle.

Re: 1993 eg coupe Overheating issue
sounds like your head lifting.. This is a common issues I am finding out on d series turbo setups. I once installed ARP head studs wrong. I used the lube on the bottom end which gave me inaccurate torque measurements.
