tubular manifold

[eclispestar]

I just get a tubular manifold and I am going to heat wrap. Do you think this will be fine on cut down heat and I am leaveing the lower heat shield. Do you think I need more the portect from the heat of the turbo plus the tubular manifold? I am putting it in my 19991 gsx. So what did you think? I want to protect the hood and body cause just had it painted. Thank you guys for the help

heat wrap works very well when applied correctly. In all of my years in this business I think I have seen it done properly 1 or 2 times on cars brought in to the shop.

Take your time, be sure to pull tight as you go and overlap half way into the wrap.

good luck.

do you think I need any more the keep heat down? Like maybe put some other stuff over the wrap to keep heat down even more?

Tubular manifolds get HOT. Heatwrap it and spray it with a high temp coating like Dei makes. You could also send it off to get a coating put on it and then heat wrap it. Believe me the sucker gets hot.

Heat wrapping is good from a spoolup/power standpoint as well. More heat retained inside the manifold= more energy to spin the turbine wheel and keeps the rest of the engine bay cooler.

Het wrapoing also traps any and all moisture and condensation, and look's like butt. I personally prefer Jet Hot or some type of chrome ceramic coating in and out.

Have fun wraping it! i think it will look good, also it will keep the temps down under the hood, like every one else said.

sounds good. I think I am also going the put a new heat shield on the hood and I think I am going to get some other type of heat shielding stuff to put other the heat wrap.

That sounds like a good plan, I would try and keep it as cool as possible.

I had mine ceramic coated black. Looked great, but after a couple of wks the color started fading and looking dirty. Now I will heat wrap it to hopefully make it look better and keep temps even lower, because its still pretty hot under there. I might have to go to a vented hood.
