Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out how to cut some heat down in the engine bay. I know some people have done ceramic coating and others have done inconel manifold Sheilds just wondering what would be better for my application thank you open to any and all suggestions!


Stock Motor Tuned at 15 psi on 93 Octane yielded 453whp/295tq

 

Your having problems? Or just trying to help cool it off a tad?

 

To cool things off and I think with all the heat and fatigue it wiped out my motor mount so just trying anything to help not have that happen again!

 

If you're going to go the ceramic route, there is only 1 true, multistage ceramic coating in the business. Look into Swaintech White lightning.

My bay certainly doesn't stay "cool" by any stroke of the imagination, but I'd hate to know what it'd be like without it. Exterior manifold temps after a spirited drive of roughly 500* F

 

good heat shielding and a vented hood can do wonders. wrap is not ideal for a street car imo, it will lead to the demise of whatever it is wrapped around after repeated heat cycles because it does not allow the material to shed heat properly. it will overheat welds and cause premature fatigue far more rapidly.

 

I know it is probably not what you want to hear, but holes in the hood are a big help.

 

Is there a guide anywhere to cutting the three standard holes in the hood that I see quite a few S2000s with?

Thanks. I knew there had to be one, but my searches had come up blank.
