Message: <blockquote data-quote="clanzkiller" data-source="post: 3367537" data-attributes="member: 41506">wat do u meant by running on stock configurations?"In a cooling system, a higher pressure equates to a higher boiling point for the coolant. Higher coolant pressures also transfer heat from the cylinder heads more efficiently. We recommend using a radiator cap with the highest pressure rating that the radiator is designed to accept. In general, performance radiators will accept 22-24 PSI, and professional racing radiators will accept a 29-31 PSI.The coolant will typically only build to 16-18 PSI, due to expansion up to 200°F. However, if the engine does overheat due to external factors, the pressure inside the cooling system could reach as high as 28 PSI. Once the radiator cap has opened and vented coolant, the engine will not cool down until it has been turned off. The radiator cap is basically a "safety valve", so always use the highest pressure radiator cap that the radiator will tolerate. If you are unsure of the pressure rating for your radiator, check with the manufacturer for the maximum recommended operating pressure."Taken from http://www.stewartcomponents.com/tech_tips/Tech_Tips_2.htmi know if heating issues wil caused other dmg as well...but i've no other choice and the problem arise during CNY period...and i've been to sunway for 2 days, no shop open at all...got but they don't sell radiator cap..my workshop wil only open on monday just for me as emergency workdays lol...and i have to travel around wit my car since i got only 1 car...but i drive very very slow without boosting anymore lol...max 80km/h only :(the water i used is water directly from waterpipe...i think i've decided to change to 2 layers aluminium radiator wit silicone radiator hoses...is tat enuf? or i need 3 layers? aiming for 300whp..i'm switching into bigger turbo soon and i need to solve tis minor problem before bigger problem arise..and 1 more thing..when my engine is hot, the reserved tank wil be fill up wit water,boiling inside the reserved tank....and once the engine is cold, the reserved tank wil be empty wit water...is tis normal or abnormal?and also i've double checked the radiator cap, the plastic inside seems to be worned d....</blockquote>
