Beavis Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Does the cap give you any other benefits than looking good. I have read something about it giving you better cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 just looks really although it does have a higher blow off limit. Not sure that makes it better in cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISMO-RADIATOR-CA ... dZViewItem AUTHENTIC NISMO 1.3kg/cm HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR CAP The Nismo radiator cap is a heavy duty radiator cap, which operates at 18.2 lbs (1.3 kg/cm) compared to 12.6 lbs (0.9 kg/cm) non-turbo and 16.8 lbs. (1.2 kg/cm) turbo Nissan OE(Original Equipment) stock caps. Provides more cooling than the standard radiator cap. Ok cheers Mike for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbside*motors Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 If it is a real Nismo cap it will open at a higher temperature/pressure (like M13KYF pointed out) Tuned engines generally run slightly hotter and genuine Nismo caps will stop them blowing all their coolant out. They do not make the engine burn more fuel or air and they do not help the air in or the exhaust out so they are unlikely to create any noticable performance increase!

BulletMagnet Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 One thing must be said tho.... At least the OP used the search function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 One thing must be said tho.... At least the OP used the search function +1 on that for sure. Apparently they're better for looks and hold more pressure as said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
