after you replaced it did you even bleed it out to get all the air out?

i ddnt touch the T-stat because radiator install ddnt require me to do that,

yeah i blead the coolant when i installed it, even if i ddnt bleed it, air bubbles wouldnt force my car to be overheating this much and not blowing hot air in interior

its sounds like the system is not properly bled due to the air not blowing hot and the fan not turning on.

Your problem is def. Air bubbles. I had the same symptoms. Like sinji said, if the heater doesnt blow hot, its air bubbles. Make sure you open both bleeder valves. and re-purge.

Both?

Just asking, becasue I just installed a Mishimoto radiator last week.

Yup there is two. As wisdom mentioned, there is one by the firewall too. Should be pretty easy to spot.
