Hi all

I was wondering about the difference between the radiator caps 0.9 and 1.3?

My car has a 0.9 on it now and all the ralliart ones I have seen are 1.3

Thanks
Travis
 
standard pressure is 0.9bar
the ralliart one would be 1.3 bar

pros:
higher pressure = higher boiling point
car runs cooler

cons
more strain on pipes
more likely to crack the radiator
more likely to blow/pop a hose
