rwdrev Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 well the starlet was in for an mot today and it was sat running whilst it was being tested, and right near the end i noticed summit was wrong with the grill, so i got closer to it, and noticed the manifold had got so warm whilst sitting it had done this to the grill.. looks like im gonna have to make another heat sheild and source another grill Quote
daniel_g Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Defo heatwrap the mani, can touch it after youve been a run. Must bring bay temps down a lot. Quote
turboloon Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 get some bonnet raisers on the back there rev will help get rid of some of the heat now that ye have the gi bonnet on it now..;)as for heat wrapping ye know my views on that.. Quote
Jamie5414 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Don't wrap it on it's own, the heat will just be more focused at the nearest point which isn't wrapped. Unless you plan on wrapping the entire system & getting a turbo blanket then it'll be worth it! Edited March 29, 2014 by Jamie5414 Quote
bucketep91 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Did they pass it after it melted the grill on idle? Quote
