Quick question...

What is the benefit of a higher pressure radiator cap? The Nismo one is rated at 1.3kg/cm (18.2 lbs.) OEM is rated at 0.9kg/cm (12.6 lbs)

Thanks

it raises the boiling point of the coolant, preventing coolant boil under high load/high-rpm conditions. it theoretically helps protect the engine from overheating due to coolant boil.
