Radiator Cap - 1.1kg/cm

[Munkyb0y]

Someone bought me a D1 Spec radiator cap. It's 1.1kg/cm2.

I'm pretty sure the stock cap is 0.9kg/cm

I did a search and found that the 1.3kg/cm can cause blown hoses, or even core damage, due to excess pressure.

Is this the same with the 1.1 ?

I feel bad not using it as it was a gift, but i'd rather exchange it than blow my hoses off, if that's the case

Most certainly not.

There have been a number of them let go because of this.

Basically the stock radiator header tank is plastic, this will explode before the cap shoots off because the header tank doesnt take to high pressures too well at all.

stick to the stock one, it was put there for a design reason.

The oil cap should be sweet iv had mine on for 4 weeks without any dramas. Nice to see you have the genuine one aswell not the ebay copy

[Munkyb0y]

yeah, i'm pretty sure it came from just jap, so should be original.

what are they worth?

what's with the rubber ring on the oil cap? looks like it'll fall out when the cap is removed.
