RE: overheating problem =(
Does the fan turn on when the car reaches 195*?
If it's an aftermarket fan, which way is it blowing? When it turns on it should be blowing air into the engine bay.
What kind of tuning do you have on the car?
How bad is it overheating, when, where?
Simple problems could be that you're fan's not turning on because the switch or the fan itself is shot, you may have blown the headgasket, or last but not least cracked a sleeve.

the fan turns on fine, its on alot actually,the fan is stock. tuning there is nothing but a turbo setup off a 2nd gen eclipse( mani,turbo,downpipe) with a greedy charge pipe kit and no name intercooler, and a aftermarket fuel pressure regulater. as for rail, injectors chip,etc.etc. there is nothing done to it. wich is not a good thing. i heard you can use the dsm 450cc injectors but i dont kno what years do get them from, im gonna use the search button. and when it comes to the tunning im lost on what to get for it.
p.s. i have to put coolant in it alot but i dont see it leaking anywhere? thanks guys

RE: overheating problem =(
When the car heats up does the lower rad hose get hot to the touch? If it doesn't, change your thermostat.
Otherwise you probably either cracked a sleeve or blew a headgasket because you have no engine management.

Time to take the head off...
Oil in the coolant means that you've blown the headgasket, but no oil in the coolant doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't either.
