Heat wrap

[Kirkyyb36]

Not really thought much of it but is it good to heat wrap the exhaust manifold? Or is it pointless!

Depends if you have issues with excessive heat in the engine bay? The idea is the heat is transferred through to the exhaust rather than radiating out of the exhaust manifold and turbo. I haven't ever bothered wrapping the turbo manifold as it can get a bit tricky wrapping between the runners, but I quite often wrap the turbo downpipe. Alot of people say this increases corrosion but to be honest I havent seen any worth worrying about after a couple of years of running. Personal preference I guess.

well i have a zisco ramhorn so i thought itd be a bit tricky and didnt think it would do much good so ive just left it, thanks very much though for the heads up😊

Ramhorns do like good wrapped, but majority of

Heatwrap on ebay is cheap and shit and flakes apart.

As long as it's a good quality manifold, and it's wrapped evenly then you will be fine, it defiantly has a huge impact on bay temperatures.

Just make sure it doesn't get soaked in oil, because if it sets alight, your not putting it out, someone I know lost a mint sapphire 4x4 cosworth because that happened.

Well my pals running td04 and he has good quality stuff so might steal some off of him, but i'll consider wether to do it or not
