car over heating after installing a skunk 2 manifold on 2001 gsr HELP

i just install a skunk 2 intake manifold on my 2001 gsr now its over heating and i cant figure out the problem i been reading online and i read something about blocking off on the coolant line or something like that but i need help

did you let some coolant out when you put the new manny on if so you had to fill up the radiator and top it off. If it is like any other Honda motor you need to bleed the coolant valve to get the bubbles out of the coolant that might be overheating your car. Just a thought.

yes i did put coolant back in it and on the newer gsr they dont have a bleeding valve on them correct me if im wrong but i was told i can bleed it by leaving the cap off and just filling it with coolant but still overheating i dont know im pretty skunk cant figure out what is wrong with it

U mite have a coolant line u forgot to connect?

I am sure that with a skunk2 intake manifold, it deletes the FITV and IACV right?
Its one or the other.
Just make sure you loop the lines.
And it is possible you have to get the car tuned to run properly because the ECU may be looking for those parts.

when i did mine i remeber the obd2 gsr you have to cap off a collant line on the manifold.

no, you still retain the iacv and fitv.

okay i been reading somewhere i think i might install it wrong or something im not quite sure but do you have to use the t fitting to install because i i read some forum and they talk about using the t fitting but i just bought longer hose to connect it i follow this write up to install the manifold http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/howto/sk2manifold/ and here another write up that talks about the t fitting which i know obd2 has to use which is mine but i didnt use it http://www.acuraworld.com/forums/f66/skunk2-intake-manifold-59805/

My first thought would be that you might've connected the coolant hoses wrong. Make sure that the coolant runs from the block to the head. Also check to make sure that the coolant is actually circulating and the thermostat is opening up. You can do so by letting the car reach operating temp and see if there is pressure in BOTH the bottom and upper radiator hose.

Last but not least, make sure your fan is properly working!

A quick google search or Honda-tech.com search should yield some answers also!

If all else fails, ASP2 FTW:)
