Default agony

This is the first time I've asked for help online, but my B16 transplant engine is over-heating. I replaced all of the relays, sensors, and the thermostat and it still overheats in 5 min. of driving. Usually when I start to overheat, I can dissipate some of the heat by turning on the heater, but now the heater just blows luke warm air. Also, the upper rad hose gets very hot while the lower hose stays cool. Some ideas I have are: bad water pump, clogged radiator(but it's brand new), or maybe I somehow installed the thermostat wrong and the spring isn't activating. The old thermostat activated at 180 deg and the new one is set at 170 deg(which I thought was better, but?)HELP!?
