PRODUCT DETAILS
GrimmSpeed 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap
When your Subaru is pushed beyond standard commuting—such as during aggressive driving or track events—maintaining stable engine temperatures becomes essential. The factory 1.1 Bar (16 PSI) radiator cap performs adequately for daily use, but it may fall short when running performance-oriented coolant blends like distilled water or water/antifreeze mixtures. These blends offer improved thermal conductivity but lower boiling points, increasing the risk of coolant overflow under high heat. By raising system pressure, you effectively elevate the boiling point, allowing the cooling system to operate more efficiently and reliably under load.
GrimmSpeed 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap: Simple, Effective Upgrade
The GrimmSpeed High-Pressure Radiator Cap is a cost-effective solution to improve your vehicle’s cooling performance. Rated at 1.3 Bar, this upgraded cap ensures better containment of coolant, reducing the chance of overflow and keeping temperatures in check during extended performance use. Precision-built for durability, it not only enhances reliability but also adds a polished look under the hood—making it an excellent choice for both function and style-conscious Subaru owners.

Anyone can list parts. We curate what belongs on a serious build. Our goal is simple: fewer surprises, cleaner installs, and confidence when you hit “Buy.”
Fitment checked
We prioritize vehicle-specific listings and clear selection logic so you’re not gambling on compatibility.
