Im sorry, I was thinking of ex wrap. I reread and saw you were looking for a turbo wrap. http://store.summitracing.com/partd...4294923429+4294923290+4294845359&autoview=sku I cant find anything in black. This was all I found for 2000*

Watch what you buy on ebay. I bought some wrap on ebay and it was very bad quality. I decided not to put it on my car and instead bought DEI wrap from summit racing.

thats the wrap i bought, DEI right off ebay for half what they sell it for at advance.
its good stuff.

i think thermotec has a new style wrap out thats like a copper based or something.
traps 30% more heat, and stands 2000* continuous

If you wanna pay out the ass for it.

Might be a stupid question, but I'll go ahead and ask it anyways. I recently installed a carbon fiber hood on my car. To prevent cracking of the hood, by excess heat, I was wondering if I could install the heat "wrap" that was on the underside of my stock hood on the underside of my exhaust manifold cover to prevent heat from escaping, or will that wrapping just burn up?

 

[SleeperG]

if you can switch it over, then by all means do so.
nothing worse than hot spots on a c/f hood. looks like blisters.
especially with the chunk of change you probably dropped for it.

By switching it over, I dont mean installing it on the underside of my CF hood. I got the seibon(sp?) hood and it doesn't come with holes to mount the heat sheet, or however you want to say it. I could drill holes for it, being there are outlines, but I really dont feel like scratching/messing up my new CF hood. What my question was, that maybe I could cut a piece of this sheet out and install it on the underside of my exhaust manifold heat shield - so you couldnt see it.

Underneith that. If I do that, the heat sheet will be RIGHT next to the exhaust manifold. Do you think it would burn?

I actually have the $30.00 wrap from slowboy and its rated up to 2000 degree farenheight so far so good with it haven't had a problem.

Ebay is probally your best bet.

 

[1stGenRocks]

just use 3m style double stick adhesive to glue the heat sheild to your cf hood. i dont think it would work very well under the ss heat shield

Wow, thats a good idea. I think I'll try that out

Oh, and sorry for sorta high-jacking the thread...

I also wrap my turbo's intake pipe which is a cold air intake. Also the upper IC piping get's wrapped. Mark

 

[TheClaw]

Anyone have any? I'm wrapping mine tonight along with my WG dump tube, and my O2 housing, etc.. Just wanted some ideas before I start on it.. Not sure the best way to go about it.

I have 2" x 50' of the shit.

Thanks

[TheClaw]

thanks - but doesn't look like a stock exh mani to me

 

[90AWDEclipse]

no problem. At least you get the idea

Alex

 

[TheClaw]

well, I KNOW the idea, I'm just wondering if it's best to wrap the entire thing as it was one, or to put a little on each runner, etc..

catch my drift?

 

[Lionel Hutz]

I don't have any pix but I wrapped up each runner. It might look goofy if you just wrapped up the whole thing.

 

[90AWDEclipse]

yea it would look like a blob of heat wrap, and it would be pointless to. Because if you just wraped around the whole mani the insides would still be exposed so more heat would leak into the engine bay.

Alex

 

[TheClaw]

Ok.. I think I have a decent idea in my head. Thanks

 

[90AWDEclipse]

Yep anytime

I don't think it would be necessary to wrap your stock exhaust manifold. The stock mani is cast-iron, and compared to tubular headers, the cast-iron would keep more heat in. I wouldn't wrap the stock exhuast manifold....
