Overheating after 6 bolt swap

We finished the JDM 6bolt swap into my 97 spyder, and now the car is overheating and we cant figure out why. New water pump, new hoses, new thermostat, Perfectly in Time, Full off coolant/water. The temp gauge on the dash is not working either(it worked before the swap). Both hoses are getting hot as hell. Any one have any ideas? :banghead:

thermostat, clogs in coolant pipes, double check anything that has to do with temp
