STi Radiator Cap.
Ladies and gents,
I have searched but I am either blind or missed if this has been asked. I have just upgraded my radiator hoses on my 05 STi to silicon hoses thanks to Mao for the suppy... I have an STi radiator cap and I am wondering which cap to replace of the 2 standard ones being the radiator itself or the "overflow" cap near the TMIC. Any help appreciated.. Cheers, Joe. |

Should replace both to 1.3 bar caps.

Why do you want to replace any of them? Your car over heating?

I think the top tank cap is rated lower then the radiator one.
Check the KPa values on both caps.. |

Dont see any bling in a rad cap. Maybe im not hip.
More pressure on head gaskets can cause mint bling though...

Top tank is 108 kPa..
Radiator is 137 kPa.. I have read that increasing the cap venting pressure raises the boiling point slightly so the theory is that the engine runs cooler. On a 75k stock engine fingers crossed the head gaskets are good. Could be BS but I am not qualified to comment. Meh, I'll put it on to replace the radiator cap as this is the closest to the 1.3 Bar rating of the STi cap. I am the hippest.... Cheers, Joe. |

Any more comments on the above? I've replaced both mine to 1.3 but am open to suggestions.
