I believe those supposed to be 1.1
The 0.9 operates at a lower pressure and will reduce the overall effectiveness of the cooling system slightly.. It's safer to go higher than lower, but i'm open for correction..

1.1
0.9 is for cars with bigger radiators; prelude,accord etc

if it is a ek3 it should be 0.9 - the SiRs carry 1.1
