Coolant hose

[sprigmo1]

Trying to figure out what would cause a coolant hose to blow off! The hose coming from the firewall next to the brake booster blew off the pipe coming from the back of the engine. What would make the pressure build to that point? I changed the thermostat just in case and I replaced the factory spring type clamp with a srew type.

Age? I hate that hose. I got big hands

 

[sprigmo1]

I hope so! I just rebuilt the motor and that is one of two hoses I did not replace! Go figure!

 

[Mk3runner]

Hah, no worries just replace. Put a little grease for easier fit. Gonna have cut knuckles no matter what.

Be careful not to over tighten the clamp on it. I had to bypass the heater core on one of my old cars, because no matter what I did, it would not hold water, because the pipe was bent.

 

[sprigmo1]

Hopefully, the tightened clamp will hold! Now I gotta take the turbo and ebay manifold off and put on the treadstone. For some reason my dipstick won't mount properly with the tubular!

if its pressure that blew it of id check the cap, which should limit system pressure to around a bar or 14.7 psi maby 17 max

Spec for the rad cap is 10.7 - 14.9 psi:

Please don't "guess" in the Tech Section

i said around (around) 14.7 just trying to give the guy a ball park figure (wow i was off by a whole .2 psi) do you feel like a big man now lol. ps. i have a 1.2 or 17.4 psi bar cap (its called aftermarket/ performance) good thing i didnt throw it away cause it was out of "your spec 10.7 - 14.9

Not my spec...it's Toyota's and I provided the link to it. "Ballpark" does not cut it in the Tech section. And, you failed to mention that the one you pulled out of your ass ignored a much lower limit in the range...even mentioned "maybe 17 psi". Go ahead and run your useless "aftermarket/performance" over priced, POS radiator cap just to look cool, and blow all the hoses you want.

Doesn't mean I'm going to let you post such BS here. Do it again, and you get some time off. I'm done dealing with your juvenile attitude.

I think we should take a little chill pill here, both of you are just trying to help the guy. I agree that Jdub is "more" right but neither's information is bad or un-helpful...

Aftermarket caps do have a place since they raise the coolants boiling point allowing for higher safe coolant tempurature but I would always assume the OP has OEM stuff.

Nope - Not going to do that, but you get a week off to think about getting pissed just because you were corrected...it's childish. You're a perfect example of the WRONG way to react.
If you're going to make it personal and use insults to make your point, take it to SF.

Posting incorrect info in the tech section is getting very, very old..."I heard", "my buddy told me", "ballpark", etc does not cut it and is not helpful when trying to figure out what's wrong. In fact, it can do far more harm than good.

I didn't post the correct info just to show off...87tomanymods posted info he pulled out of his ass, it's not even correct for a high pressure aftermarket cap.

I know that Jdub. Your expertise are very helpful to all the members of this forum.

I have the CSF Aluminum Race Series radiator for my 92. It came with a 16psi cap. I just got the motor back together and want everything functioning properly, so I 'll have to get a OEM spec cap.
