There is no cutting kinda like the Injen on my Accord...

 

Oh bahh im retarded fcken shyte man sory, im gonna go myself now, anyways they all the same, just ones look prettier then others

 

youd have to show me a large number of douchbags whove done this. but yes, when they dont pop off at the specified pressure, neat s*** happens, heater core failure, headgasket failure, etc...

then again, if youre building for boost, then youre probably throwing a solid headgasket in there anyway. im not worried about the hoses...

why would the stock cap not work on a radiator with larger cooling capacity?

 

irish, that is a killer shot..very nice

 

You want the extra safety of the better cap. But hey if you want to try the Stocker, it's all you. They make the better caps for a reason....

 

I meant aftermarket/performance radiator. I am adding one to the miata I am building for a reason.... Read this site, section on higher PSI caps...

http://www.stewartcomponents.com/tec...ech_Tips_2.htm

 

thats because the bottom of the Accord like my old CL is open and the area under the is exposed to cold air

 

because altima already has a hole there and so does the 6th gen maxima, that is why you can use it for either car
it won't work on a 5th gen, without customizing it......

 

yes, im aware that an aftermarket radiator usually needs a different cap, namely the one that the company designed the radiator around.

the site you linked me to is a race car building site. i was under the impression that we were talking about street cars here. in any event it doesnt matter. if youre gonna build a race car then you arent gonna put a nismo cap on it. you can buy an OEM replacement cap with the higher pressure rating, without the ricer factor... in this case the 'nismo' badge.


other than the pressure rating, how is it better? and why is it 'safer'?



theres no need to upgrade from the stocker or the stock pressure rating, unless you have a purpose built engine. if youre smart enough to build an engine for race, wether it be a high compression circle tracker, or a boosted street machine, you probably arent gonna rice your **** out...

then again, maybe thats your style.

 

YIKES, opened a can of worms on this one didn't I.....thanks for the input guys, will keep the FC and the propeller thingy in my tail-pipe

Peace

 

Again how is a Higher Pressure cap ricer? Does it say Nismo on it yes, does it do what it claims yes. So explain to me how is adding a specifically designed radiator cap ricer. And is some of the Nismo stuff rice, by all means. You obviously don't know that Nissan uses alot of Nismo stuff on the Skylines they have built.... But they must me ricer too.

 

adding a higher pressure cap by itself isnt rice, never said it was. i dont care if nissan uses specifically designed parts on the skyline... good for them, thats something else.

were talking about this radiator cap... the one for ricers. its just that because theyre designing it and selling it to work right along side their intake... which creates a WHOLE LOT OF HEAT!!! oh s*** better get the higher capacity radiator for all the extra horsepower well be making with that intake...

better also get a high flow fuel pump, right?


...right? oh... you mean...


i dont need all that s***? not even the cap?

so im really just buying a badge, right? which makes me a ricer, right?

exactly.

be sure to have them throw in the ¼ window stickers too...

 

you are missing the point donkey. Will alot of ricers buy this, prolly. But does the cap actually work in the right environments, yes it does. Example being a boosted SE-R with a Koyo radiator, yes it does work.....

 

ok fine, i'll admit that the NISMO radiator cao is needed if you have done engine work.
that being said, 99% of the people that have it dont need. they get it so they can add NISMO to their mod list. and that my fellow jason is....RICE

 

not to be too overly critical, but is this picture of the intake in the altima se-r the same as the nismo "CAI" that is sold by the dealer... just looking at the picture of parts above, and the catolog pic from nismo, the parts in the se-r intake look like there are a few more extensions, etc. And what modifications would have to be done to add this to ya'lls 5th gen max's? I dont see where it would be needed? Will check under hood again.

 

nirvana4all
you should get it. then you would actually have NISMO parts




just kidding with you

 

some day I will actually get around to getting digital camera and give you a peek under my hood, til then I guess you will all have to keep guessing what is under it...but you didnt answer the real question. is the intake in the picture the same intake you would buy at the dealer, and to add it ya'lls 5th gens, what custom work would have to be done? I dont see where teh problem comes in, but have not taken a good look like I ment to...dang it. forgetful me.

 

not really worried about it. there isnt much you could have that i (and alot of people) dont already have

 

Some food for thought. Has anyone ever measured the pressure drop in front of the throttle body? Maybe there is a large enough vacuum signal at higher rpm which is pulling open the bypass valve, allowing the engine to breath a little better adding a couple extra hp.( I seem to recall that anything over 1 psi vacuum is a significant enough restriction to impeed hp production.) Does the berk or Frankencar or Palce for that matter offer a bypass valve? Might be an interesting test to add a bypass to the above intakes and see what happens?

 

if your filter of pipng is restrictive enough to cause the bypass to open (which isnt all that great of a filter, mind you), im sure your engine isnt happy with all the neat **** youre sucking in every time you go WOT...
