I'm about to wrap my hks cast low mount manfold. I've got some s/s cable ties and two rolls of exhaust wrap.

What I want to know is,

1. Do you use a cable tie at the start or

2. If I wrap it back over the start will that hold OK?

Its a Tomei kit, has these s/s cable ties, but yeah, I did think hose clamps would be more permanent.

How did you start yours?

yeah I used s/s ties. You can start it but just wrappiong it hard form the top. Not to much of a big deal. Holds up well.

When i wrapped a manifold on my other car i was told to spray the wrap with high temp clear.

I just used regular cables ties and it held up perfectly

only if its hasnt been treated. Some have and some havn't. If it hasnt fibreglass goes everywhere..its very fine.

I don't know if I'd be too game to wrap a cast iron manifold, are you planning to race it (track)? There is a slight possibillity that if the wrap isn't even enough you will end up with uneven heat causing warping or cracking. Just be very carefull, or buy a rabbits foot. :D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
