where can u buy that stuff

and to answer your question its not painted chrome omg its a racing car not a show car

 

^^^

Correct,
the engine coolant and intercooler coolant two entirely separate systems,,,
nothing from the two intermingles.

 

dude i was getting too many complaints about it slowing down the pages, i loved it though

 

napa auto parts has a lot of different types

 

where is the intercooler tank then

 

The cap is inbetween the blower and rad support isn't it?

I'm not too sure about the res though. We need to ask one of the guys who has upgraded their HE or done an ice box

 

There is no intercooler tank. The intercooler resivoir is that little tiny thing mounted near the supercharger that has a overspill tube, and a little ____Fill line. That's it.

You can buy the heat wrap at most performance shops. Probably not at pepboys or checker, but at a real shop.

As for the "track days" I drag race every other week, and when your cars thermometer reads 121* at 10:30p.m. you need all the cooling power in the world to get a good run. There is no such thing as cooling down between runs in that kind fo heat.

 

Flame away if I'm wrong, lol

 

Now you have the smallest sig ever, lol

I feel bad for telling you your sig was too big yesterday, lol, I'm an arsehole

You could have left some of it on there, sorry

 

you will not see ANY difference in performance from rapping your air tube... its constant quick flowing air... its not gonna make any difference if your air is 1* cooler going into your engine..... dont waste your money on this

 

It seems like a good idea could this be used anywhere on the car to try an lower ambiet heat under the hood.
Like Heat wrapping the Exhaust Manifold.

 

bump ...

 

right which is exactly why the race team with thousands of dollars in techonology chose to do it

 

i've actually been thinking for a while about heat wrapping my intake tube. never thoight about the heat exchanger lines or the coolant reservoir though.

 

So far we have

1. Intake Pipe
2. Heat exchanger lines
3. The coolant reservoir
4. Exhaust Manifold

Has anyone actually done this on their car ? Beside mrdoc

 

The Grand Am Cup cars run this set-up, also. There were some pics long ago on here from a race, someone was at. Every little bit will help in the long run, especially for a full out race car.

 

from Summit Racing. They have many types to choose from, including their own brand at a pretty good price, but I like the Heat Shroud w/Velcro (DEI-010405) - you don't have to take anything apart, so it is easy to put it over the fuel line and just snap it together; and I like the adhesive backed Cool Tape (DEI-010408) for areas that are accessible, that you might want to wrap tight. There are a lot of other sizes, brands, available to suit your needs. Most mail order speed equipment or retail stores that have Hi/Po stuff for sale should have it.

As far as the intercooler, and engine coolant, I use a liberal dose of Redline Water Wetter to help bring down the temperatures. I have used Water Wetter in my race cars over the years, and turbo vehicles I have had with good results. On my race car I also have the heat reflective tape covering the fuel line all the way from the fuel cell in the trunk to where the fuel line goes into the carburetor.

I also painted my extrude honed exhaust manifold with ceramic header paint before I installed it. Heat is the enemy of high performance not only in race cars, but especially boosted turbo and S/C cars.

It is also a pretty good idea to cover the gap in front of your intercooler with bug/rock screen of some sort. Within the first 80 miles I had on my car I noticed about 100 bent over fins on the I/C from highway rocks. This does not help the intercooler do its job, nor does it help to have the I/C plugged with grasshopper or other bugs. If you haven't done this, take a good look at your I/C and you'll see what I mean.

Doc

 

that mesh was one of the first things i did!

 

this stuff is only like 17bux, you cant go wrong, even if it does help keep the coolant a few degrees cooler, that doesnt hurt

 

im getting ready to do dei wrap to my header and interested in info on wrapping intake... i here it changes the tone of the exhaust when done

 

holy old thread batman!!!!

 

I can't see any way wrapping it will change the tone
