Title: Radiator cap
Post by: NSman on May 19, 2008, 09:14:35 PM
Just realised that our latio rediator cap are only 0.9 bar

Do you guy really know how does changing the radiator cap to higher pressure helps?  Stock are using 0.9bar, by changing it to 1.1 bar, does it help to improve any performance in any way??

hmm....let me try this out...
there will not be any performance change if you just change the radiator cap.
questions will be what do you use your car for? if its just normal driving in spore and malaysia then the normal radiator cap will do. however if you intend to mod your car with turbo charger etc then i will recommend that you change it to a 1.3bar cap. so do pen down what you intend to do for your car... remember that changing DOES NOT change performance BUT helps to reduce a blowout..
