I was wondering if any one has used http://www.jet-hot.com/. They have some surface coatings that are good for 2400 degrees. We know that the pipes that are coated will be able to withstand 2400degrees the question is how much of an insulating factor do these coatings have. They have reported 60% drop in surface temp on Headers. They do not have any results on Turbo Manifold or Turbing housings.

 

Some one should make some heatshiels for the FI S2ks, could make some money........Oops I'm speaking outloud

 

Jet-hot and other ceramic coatings don't help as much as they advertise. I myself have my manifold, turbine housing and dp coated with a 2000+ degree coating. I tried running it without any shielding when I first put it on and I melted the heat-core hoses, the fuse box, battery and even the windshield washer container. I fixed everything and then made some shielding and haven't had a heat issue since.

The problem with someone making shielding is that every kit out there is differant. A shield made for the Lovefab kits won't work with inline pro and so on. I personally feel that each respective kit maker should include shielding, but you have to remember that not everyone is good with sheet metal. My lovefab kit came with a shield which I went in the trash because it was garbage. Your best bet is to fab it yourself if you have the skill, or take it to fabricator and have them do it.

 

I have a custom kit that looks like the lovefab kit and had heat issues as well. Triple heat wrap on the downpipe, wrap and blanket on the hotside and wrap on the manifold cured my heat woes. I will be taking it off this winter to redo all of it with heat shields.

 

You'll need to wrap everything up. The vtec oil pressure sensor can be removed and plugged up as well.

I will take a picture of it. My old manifold put out more heat in that area than the GT1 and I didnt have any melted wire issues.

 

thanks!
My installer is going to makes heat shield for the battery and fuze box area, hope that help. he will also get some fittings to move the oil pressure sensor as well as all the wires to front of the engine.

 

I think you are better off with one of this :

you will definately need a heat shield for the fuze box and battery side. mine pretty much like yours except the fuze box was a little closer to the wall. and the bottom side of it still got melted on the first try.

 

hey mike, did your liner get burned yet? i am suprised that you hasn't melt your fuze box yet.

 

yes those turbine bags are so awesome, very clean under the hood

 

Thanks for the help guys!

Kane, please post some pictures. i want see how you did it. thanks!
