Would be interested in trying one on a project car but not at the price of a Mugen. Any suggestions for a lower cost alternative?

 

I'm wondering why you would want/need one? With the proper radiator, I wouldn't think you'd have to worry about increasing water pressure.

 

Only if it comes with a matching high-pressure oil cap

awe yes, twice the bling......

RJ owns this forum, thank goodness.

 

Think Stant makes some higher pressure than stock caps.

I started a post on this and got no response, maybe I can here..
I have increasing water pressure on the track in my stock B16, doesn't overheat, just builds pressure and fills the overflow and then bubbles. All plus look fine, car doesn't lose a drop of coolant otherwise.
What could be causing the pressure? The car is new to me and had a new rad installed just before I got it, everything looks fine.
Anyone?

It's not for cooling, got plenty of that. The theory I'm working under is the increased pressure will reduce the cavitation that can occur with extended high RPM operation.

 

What pressure are you looking for? I'm currently using a 1.1bar NSX cap on my CRX. The best part about it was that the NSX cap has a different part # vs comparable units, but also has a silicone seal vs the usual rubber unit It's geeky, but hey, I needed a new cap anyways

 

All it's supposed to do it raise the boiling point of water a bit. For people running zero coolant and all water or runing hot ect it sounds like cheap insurance
