ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello all, you may remember a bit ago I posted a thermal image of my Vauxhall Astra, well i had a but of time over the weekend to do some images of my 03 Subaru Impreza Blobeye, unfortunately I had some issues with my memory cards, so many of the good images I couldnt get across. but here is what i managed to salvage :) (just let it idle until warm) some time in future I will do brakes, exhaust and other stuff as well as better quality images, more like this... also, engine bay for your information any questions feel free to ask and i will do my best to answer, kind regards Chris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Pretty good to see it's the first time I've ever seen an engine done under thermal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yea, they don't do it often, mainly do to the cost. For example the camera used costs more than my car... And my astra combined haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well I'm having a guess at nearly 10k I don't think it will be high up on my christmas list :) But is pretty cool. I'll hopefully be able to kill a predator and steal his helmet :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Depends what quality you want, they start at 750 and go up to... A lot, the one I used was around 17 grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Also unfortunately they won't look through walls like predator did with his :,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Pete Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That is so cool! See what I did there ;) When you get the shots you want, I'll deffinatley be making one a wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Haha sounds good man, if anyone wants anything particular looking at in more detail let me know I will try and do it when I do my other images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Any chance of a look at exhaust manifold and the full system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 No problem man. I did try to do it within this set of images as i can stitch the images together so can show the whole system (in theory) but due to technical issues I will re do this when I do my others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No worries. They look really good. Does help when you're trying to do heat management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd be interested to see the efficiency of the turbo blanket vs one without, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Same as stants would like to see a full exterior shot with everything warmed up. Just to see how everything glows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm. Just interested to see what the deal is with the balnket, I can touch it after a days driving and the i/c is cool to touch too love to see a side by side shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I agree be interesting to view that. And a full exterior with brakes warmed up and everything. I think would look good to see also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I don't have a blanket on mine, if you are in the area at all i could do it on yours :) I will also do one from outside, it's not a great surface as infrared still reflects and doesn't emmit well from different materials but you can still get some information from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes breaks I can do too, my cars sorn until april so i can either do it in April for breaks or if anyone else is near by and wants their car doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
