S14 ka in s13 overheating problems

[S13_Work_In_Progress]

is there a rear heater hose that im suppose to swap to or what because it keeps wanting to overheat.... if it helps radiator fluid looks like its being sprayed all over the fire wall... the car runs fine at idle but when you drive it around for 10 minutes or more it wants to overheat

I would suggest lookin for leaks, the coolant lines running between the manifold tend to dry rot and leak after time. Also check to make sure all ur coolant line clamps are tight, gl.
P.s. is your t-stat new?

did you bleed the system ??? turn on your heater if you have it plug in and unscrew the bleeder valve add coolant and wait for it to over flow from the bleeder valve

Ok soooooo while pondering...... i thought of the radiator overfill bottle..... i bought a universal overfill bottle from summit racing and instead of having a normal overfill tank it has a ball valve instead of a cap ( look in link..... Summit Racing SUM-G1472 - Summit Racing® Radiator Catch Cans - Overview - SummitRacing.com (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1472/?rtype=10) ) if mine was closed meaning no air was getting out would that cause my rear heater hose since it is still 2 pieces to be blowing radiator fluid all over my firewall due to high pressure in the system

SO MY MAIN ? IS..... IS THE RADIATOR OVERFILL BOTTLE VENTED OR NOT?

pull that hose off and clean the corrosion off that pipe and put it back on with a new clamp then start your car and turn your heat to full bore and start adding fluid, you will see when the thermostat opens it will suck quite a bit of fluid down and you will see air come to the top of the radiator as you are putting in fluid directly into the radiator, your radiator cap will be off the whole time through this process. You want to let the car warm up to operating temp with the radiator cap off so as it cycles the fluid any air that is trapped is pushed out through the radiator
