Blox High Pressure Radiator Cap, 1.3 Bar - Type-A

[Ghosted]

Hi,
Has anyone tried the Blox High Pressure Radiator Cap, 1.3 Bar - Type-A? Would this help our heating problem as it was is the description below?

"Even when coolant begins to heat up, pressure begins to build inside the radiator. BLOX Racing’s high pressure radiator caps ensure that this pressure is properly relieved so excess heat is spent and fluids flow into the overflow tank.
Standard caps are designed to open at 1.1 bar, but BLOX Racing’s 1.3 bar caps are able to withstand the increases in heat and pressure and prevent the radiator from overheating.
BLOX Racing radiator caps are rated 1.3 bar and greatly increase your radiator’s cooling efficiency and performance."

If it's not overheating and you're running a 50/50 coolant mix then I think its a waste of money, you're only raising the boiling point of the coolant a few degrees and adding about 3 psi on the system.

It's a cheap way to keep your coolant from boiling, but I'd also:

1. Switch to a higher water: antifreeze ratio. If your car isn't gutted for racing and has a heater core, you want to keep at least 20-30% antifreeze otherwise you'll have some problems.

2. Use Water Wetter. It's not a gimmick.

3. Blast the heater lol.

4. If you're racing and constantly overheating, you're eventually gonna have to bite the bullet and upgrade the radiator and possibly even install an oil cooler.
