Aftermarket Radiator Cap?

Are there any aftermarket Radiator Caps for the MX-3? <P>My cousin just got an A'Pexi radiator cap for his Integra that actually helps performance by a little bit. Something about the new cap having a different pressure setting, so that the coollant kicks in faster or something...?<P>Anything similar for the MX-3? TIA

Different caps allow the coolant system to operate at higher pressures. Higher pressures means the boiling point of your coolant is raised. Last time I checked 3rd gen RX-7 TT radiator caps from Greddy will fit a K series.

Thanks, David. At least someone's heard of it.<P>Guys, the cap actually states the pressure on it, and there's this spring mechanism in it. It's not like the oil cap, where a cap is just a cap.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by David Coleman:<BR><STRONG>Different caps allow the coolant system to operate at higher pressures.
