Hey, I am going to coat my Manifold with Swaintechs "White Lightning" coating, however for the downpipe and two dumptubes should I just use exhaust wrap or should I get those coated as well?

 

i havent read about one coating that held up on a turbo mani. the coating on my header that berk uses, HPC is looking good still if thats any consolation.

i would get everything coated, then wrap everything after. you can never have enough heat protection!

 

I agree, I heard even that swaintech coating starts to fail on the manifold

 

I didnt do anything to my manifold, but if i ever take it off for any reason im gonna do a jethot2000 black coating. I would not use anything but jethot2000....the only coating I used on my turbo miata that wouldnt flake.

 

where do I go to get this Jethot 2000 that you speak of?

 

I've heard swaintech is the best solution you could go with. If you are going to do a coating I would use swaintech over anything else.

 

guys ive been reading up on turbo S2000 setup since I got MY08 and Ive looked at all kinds of heat wraps,coating, and turbo blankets. So my question is...how hot does the manifold/turbo get?? Is 500F heat sleeves good enough for coolant lines,batteries,ect?

 

Joey look at SAREK's build.
He used swaintech and was still melting motor mounts.
His solution finally was to have custom shields made.
These heat issues are the one thing holding me back from going tubular....

 

I wouldnt. Jethot2000. look em up. Down in alabama I think or Louisiana.
