Dam that ---- is baller status on your turbo wish i knew :y

Re: heat shield blanket
 

I have seen them on jegs, summit or some site.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

There used to be a writeup on some Supra site that showed how to take a stainless pan and make a housing heat shield. It was pimp as all ----, and would be 101% HMT, but one of you snigglets will have to find it.

buscuit, you are my favorite HMT member for the duration of 1 week. Use it wisely.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

While that write-up is pimptastic, I am going to wonder how well that pan shield actually works to do what the job of the blanket that Rudeboy posted. It's just going to radiate heat that is transferred to it from the exhaust housing in my opinion.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

It wasn't pimptastic, it was pimp as all ----. Not comparing it to the blanket, but to let it stand on it's own as a pimp ass idea with some functionality to it.

If diet pepsi and bacardi have me sounding like JD, I apologize.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

i was thinking of wrapping the housing with heat wrap then adding the pan for extra help/pimpness

Re: heat shield blanket
 

since I will be running a topmount manifold with a fat turbo in a couple days, I really need something to protect my hood, the blanket is all I am looking at right, I have the DEI universal one but all it is, its just piece of exhaust wrap and heat shield, I will have to cut, shape and figure a way to mount it, not easy. ebay or t1 is my only option right now.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

true but using that pan is pretty pimp but like he said earlier it s just going to attract heat and then not do much id just dish the cash and get that pimp one you found on ebay or that t1 :y

heatsheild products makes them but they are like $150 :l

Re: heat shield blanket
 

my options are down to quality of the product, and fitment, I am undecided on T1 or ebay, are they the same products, or is the ebay one cheap quality.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

The ebay one looks pretty pimp havent seen T1's :-\

Re: heat shield blanket
 

I have personally made the pan heatshield after seeing that thread, and while it worked out great, the issue was that it eventually cracked due to the thinner walls and vibrations of the engine. It looked sweet and was functional, but long lasting.......not so much.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

good find ;D Stickied that one. Now if only someone came up with something like that for the contest.. :'(

Re: heat shield blanket
 

but does it do the job that its suppose to? keeping the heat in the turbo and away from the hood? it don't seem to if anything it made it hotter.
the one I am looking at actually the ones they use on all military turbo vehicles and they works, I am mad that I did not snatched one up when I had the chance. I have the Dei one, but all it is a sheet of wrap and silver heat sheild you have to shape it to the turbo. I ended taping it to my hood.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

I thought it was to keep the heat centralized where its coming from, and not let it dissipate eventually all over the rest of the components in the engine bay. Seems like it would work the same to me, unless the people who actually sell it are using some form of high tech zinc alloy from china.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

You can probably use pampers for mexican kids. That thing looks like a diaper and if all you need is to save your hood the pot shield would work great.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

Where do you get those special pampers from? Do mexican kids eat spicy food that deteriorates the pamper >:(

lol, I really want see the comparison though. The pamper style cover would probably work the best to keep all the heat insulated to the exhaust side and not let it ------. I think the heat shield pot can style would work great depending on the location though.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

its not only for my hood, but it get the heat directly, my hood actually touches the manifold with my current setup (ramhorn) made 2 marks in the piece that I taped to the hood.
now with the topmount it I will shield the turbine housing with one of those diaper thingy, and wrap the downpipe, won't wrap the manifold because of warranty issues, but I think just wrapping the downpipe and turbine will make huge difference in underhood temps.
I keep scorching vacuum lines on the wastegate, so I am gonna hitup stevemode for some ss lines to solve that part.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

just bought that one I posted from ebay, hope it worked out the way I wanted. I planned on using the dei one I already have under this one. cost $125 was trying to get it for less.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

Put the blanket on the housing...Then the pan over it to hide the ugly. That should dissipate a lot of heat.

Re: heat shield blanket
 

I think the pan is too ricey. but thats a good idea though.
I plan to paint the housing first, wrap it with the DEI universal blanket, then put on the direct fit blanket, so it will have double cover.
