kershaw-330s Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Who ever says heat wrap doesn't do anything I think is slightly confused 🤦🏻♂️ , and no turbo blankets are totally safe I've seen forge Ines at reasonable prices online but make sure you buy a good brand Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Interesting tid bit from Andy Forrest today in a email about the fuel pump issue I was having with the stutter: "If the car has been tuned to match a low performing fuel pump, then a high flow pump is fitted, it is likely that the car will run too rich at high rpm/load and could misfire as a result."

There's no proof that heat wrapping the exhaust does anything in particular. You put a heat wrap downpipe and a non heat wrapped down pipe on, there's little to no gains (.5 of a hp maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Heat soak would cause detonation. I don't think heat wrapping is ever done to gain HP. Simply to prevent the heat getting into other components. We all know not to gun it after being sat in traffic as the tmic will have taken a lot of heat in.

Headers are different, but again, I don't think there's THAT much of an advantage to doing so unless you're going to the track a lot.

kershaw-330s Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I disagree and I was just replying to your comment stating it doesn't do anything . when it clearly does my headers you can touch after a drive with the magma wrap on , you wouldn't be able to do that without , like you say heat soak the enemy and when you have stainless tubular headers is will defiantly reduce engine bay temps dramatically , also it's proven that hotter air travels faster so if you have wrapped headers , downpipe and a turbo blanket it should make your turbo spool quicker Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Think what I think is more important with all of this is the down pipe sits right next to brake master cylinder and that lovely plastic reservoir, not I'm not saying its going to get hot enough to cause any problems.....but is it worth the chance, it's great making things go fast, but I also like to make them stop too!

Yes, hot air travels faster, that's true. You're also wrapping heat inside a pipe that's not made to do that, so you can potentially get cracks quicker from overheating as the exhuast isn't made for temps. like that, so it degrades the steel much quicker. Plus if you don't seal it somehow, moisture gets stuck in (@GeoffLeggy) etc. which can lead to rusting quicker. Plus it's ugly, adds expense, gets worse looking the older it gets (flakes etc.). If it's not done properly you could have problems (know someone who missed a small spot and it would start glowing red after a decent run), oil could drip on it and it could sink in and catch fire, extremely hard to find leaks/pain in the **** to fix once found, etc... In saying that, creamic coating would be a better option (aside from being expensive) and it looks MINT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beags Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I got mine from eBay and they came from Japan. but authentic parts about £67. I did find somewhere in the UK but had already ordered them. price was about the same. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
