Sounds to me like you still got air in your system. Add coolant in your motor. Forget the water and water wtter stuff. That is for track cars so the spills are easy to clean. I used my stock fan with a Del sol rad and the temps stayed the same as stock with a SC61 turbo. Used any stop leak stuff in your rad before? that could potentially cause issues with cooling by blocking passages. But start with bleeding the system. Be patient, this is not a quick thing, could take up to half an hour to do correctly.
where is the bleeder on a b16 block? My LS had one right around where the cam seal was at.

that is a sexy DA but how the hell do you know where anything is in that engine bay?
I am the only wrench that saw this car when I owned it. I parted the car out and sold it as a naturally aspirated B16. The car made great power (450whp @15psi)but the chassis did not feel safe after 3rd gear. Needed a better rear spoiler to keep it from floating around. It was fun while it lasted, now I am done with front wheel drive forced induction cars and stick to boosting my GN.
If I could give you guys some helpful info, it would be. Find a way to put a evac pump on your cars. Grab one from ebay or your local scrap yard. They come out of C5 and up Corvettes. It helps keep the gaskets in the motor from busting out when boosting and gives you some hpto boot. Check this link for info. Racetronix sells the evac harness dirt cheap that comes on with a hobb switch when 4psi of boost is hit. Just run a line to your valve cover to the pump, then to some sort of catch can, which really is not nessesary because it does not draw over 14 inches of vaccum to pull oil out of the motor. IMO every boosted application should have one. I am running this in my GN and it works great.
