my 97 cs stars to overheat after i start racing the engine...the temp just sky rockets...the radiator hose coming from the engine to the intake right b4 the turbo had broken off a while ago, so i changed that, but it might have been a little bit of a smaller diameter hose...u guys think thats the problem?

Overheating leads to 'New Headgasket" take the problem seriously.
Suggest a cooling system examination. Rad Flush, New Thermostat (80degrees C) and Fan thermo switch and new hioses were they show any swelling at all.
Mebe even a new Serpentine belt.. those fail spectacularily
Pay now or pay large later.

i also might have not topped off my coolant when i replaced the hose cuz alot of sluid came out...i put some back in, but i guess not that much...i topped it off and i'll see how everything goes for the next couple days...but thanx for the lookout

can it also b the coolant? like using cheap coolant? i need the manufacturers coolant right?

Not having enough coolant in the engine usually leads to overheating. If the top hose broke away, then I would assume that you have lost a lot of coolant. The correct diameter top hose is also important for the flow to the radiator.

its not the main top radiator hose...its a small one that leads into the intake from the airfilter to the turbo, it hookes up right b4 the turbo...
