that's why JDM sucks...

JDM = POOP!!!! go USDM !!!!! wooohoooo

The radiator cap functions to increase the pressure inside the radiator; accordingly, even when the temperature of the coolant water exceeds 100°C, boiling can be avoided and increased cooling performance may be achieved. Fits 88-91 Civic, 88-91 CRX and 90-93 Integra.


is this different from normal?

It also adds 5 BHP

does look cool though

No...'stock' radiator caps allow about 12-13psi of pressure...however, it is just a big-ass spring, so they do wear out eventually.

the only reason JDM sucks is becuase you have some idiots that will sell the smallest shit for the biggest prices...pisses me off sometimes

LOL - only a fool would pay that much for 0% performance increase.

[LS-EF&93-EG]

thats cheap for a "spoon '' product I had the same cap on my 88hb and its crap the top of the cap is just a nice sticker an the heat from the engine mad the glue come off.

I got the greddy cap on my eg hb an it was only $18 an its way better no dumb ass sticker greddy is craved into the cap

[FourthGenHatch]

I have that on my car. It's a 19lb cap. You won't find any other cap except the spoon that is that high pressure.

NOT EVERYTHNG IS ABOUT POWER DAMN

THINK BEFORE YOU POST PEOPLE....

Higher pressure in a closed loop, i.e. a coolant system does make a difference. In fact, ANYTHING that makes your motor run cooler is a great investment.

Due to the higher pressure, the overall coolant temp is lower, and thus the engine runs cooler. And YES, this can be done with just a cap. Its called thermodynamics.


I bought one for my si, i think it was the mugen one. It didnt fit. Who actually has one of these? and which one?

[FourthGenHatch]

I don't believe Mugen makes one for the EF, I asked someone if the 92-95 Civic one would fit and it does not (as perhaps you discovered). But Spoon of course does make one for the EF...

[LS-EF&93-EG]

yes the one spoon makes that fits the 4th gen also fits the 2nd gen teg
