Radiator/Oil Cap

[import4life]

Do radiator caps or oil caps give any power?

No

x_x' there are just claims that a higher psi radiator cap or something on ebay that says like......i'll pop at a higher temp or something like that. which supposedly makes a cooler engine.....

i saw one for sale on ebay saying this haha. "TRD"

[import4life]

yeah, thought so, its just that some companys claimed it will lower temp. just wanted to make sure it's not true

[Deuce]

^^how would a radiator cap lower the temp, when the water temp is determined by the block temp?

lets think about that one for a minute.

hmmmmm.

hmmmmmmmm...

hmmmmmmmmm...

still gettin a blank here Yukio

deuce, that theory's sound, but not neccessarily safe.
the idea is that it'll raise the system pressure and the higher the pressure the higher the boiling point. the idea is to keep it from boiling so it's more efficient at keeping temps down.

I don't think it's worth-while because my coolant has never boiled on me, but that's the thought. it still won't really make any power.

yeah my coolant's never boiled on me either......the sellers on ebay make it seem as though it boils all the time ...........

like me cooking ramen noodles everyday haha
