what will happen if i go from a 0.9 radiator cap to a 1.1 cap?

 

they have to do with the pressure they will hold. they are designed to open if the systen exceeds that pressure.

 

nothing major

Better cooling in your engine, but make sure nothing can break down, .9 means .9 Bar which is 13 PSI and a 1.1 Bar is 16 PSI (well, more like 15.95 hehe)

 

well...i put a 1.1 cap on yesterday and today i was racing a mustang gt and after the second time we went at it...one of my coolant hoses blew a small hole in it. would the cap have anything to do with that?

 

since there's more pressure allowed, i would say yes...

 

There was a recent thread where a guy with a swap went through like EVERY component of the cooling system ALL because he had the wrong cap (don't remember exact numbers but it wasn't a huge difference at all).

It was cronicly overheating if I remember corectly.

 

well, i will fix the small coolant hose that busted a little hole and hopefully, if this guy really sent my stuff, i should have a gsr radiator in my eg hatch in place
of the measly stock dx raidator, in which my radiator has about had it already. i just hope that my turbo isn't in the way.

i think the cap caused the hose to blow a small hole also. damn, it had to be when i was beating a mustang gt also
