radiator cap?

[adrian1281]

i was wondering if anyone had a better radiator cap than the stock one (spoon, mugen)? if so, where can i find one?

[super_si_45]

i have the greddy one, its pretty badass, only like $20 too

dont get the spoon one, i have it and the spoon sticker peeled off. this is a very common prob.

i have the spoon one. absolutely nothing wrong with it, but get the mugen one, it's cheaper and u can get the fan switch and thermostat there too. same exact parts pretty much

[Zigen5]

Ok, whats the deal with raising the pressure in the radiator by changing the cap? Is that good or bad?

[KeNnYtAkEr]

Higher pressure keeps the coolent moving alil quicker = cooler temps.
I have the Spoon one and no prob with the sticker, if it falls off without scratchs on the top of the cap they'll replace it no problem.
But ya I'd recommand the Mugen cap and fan switch. But for the thermostat Only if ur living in a no snowing area.

someone living in canada had all 3 and redline water wetter and he said he still got enough out of the heating system.

I had this problem too, I drove from Maryland to Texas and when I opened my hood, the Spoon emblem was gone. Cheap piece of crap! or should I say expensive piece of crap

Yeah I'm on my 3rd Spoon rad cap.
The emblem has fallen off all 3, I could get it replaced but I don't care that much, it's still functional. It's obviously a bad batch and any replacement in the near future is likely to do the same thing. So for now I have a stealth high pressure rad cap.:banana:

Mugen cheaper then Spoon WHERE?! WHERE?! haha I's get Mugen over spoon anyday just cost an arm and leg usually. :rolleyes:

[adrian1281]

Mugen Radiator Cap

This radiator cap is a high-pressure type that increases the pressure inside the radiator, thus raising the coolant boiling point and increasing cooling efficiency. The open valve pressure is 1.3kg/cm

ya my stupid rad cap spooon sticker cam off too :(

[redronin22]

mine too. so now i got mugen =-)
