Ceramic Coat or Heat Wrap???
 

ok so heres my home made turbo setup (%100 done in my garage)

Attachment 28449

the manifolds work fine however a big issue... heat the turbo is melting everything...

im getting new manifolds next week, from there ill cut em open and weld in my 45mm wastegate flange and 3" vband to the dump pipe while its on the car

the new manifolds will be front mount for heat reasons,

now the pipes will be steam pipe(thick) should i heat wrap it or ceramic coat it??? what will work better for the cost???

btw she pulls hardcore with the new 570cc injectors and 600hp fuel pump @ 12psi

------- nice man. I personally would heat wrap, but thats just me.

If you get them ceramic coated inside and out it will do a lot for the heat.

You could also just make a heat shield for the items that are nearest to the heat.

yeah ive got my dump pipe heat wrapped but im thinking ceramic coating will stop the new manifolds from rusting inside/outside and it will look mint too... can they colour ceramic coating??

Wrap insulates better but can lead to cracking of the manifolds due to uneven cooling. It also can contain moisture that will lead to rusting.

The best thing is to do both

Best for the money, heat wrap. (unless you got da hookup)

lol siiiiick! HMT pwnz :P

yeah well i keep melting leads :S

ive heard about the cracking part with heat wrap

with just ceramic coat on my sideblaaster header, I have not just melted, but set the distributor on fire!!!!
it sure looks good, certainly helps keeping the heat inside, but doesn't prevent radiations whatsoever from my experience and DEI wrapping is a much better insulation.
Of course, a combination of both is perfect. It prevents the wrap from rusting the manif when wet.
