hey bro i will give you good advice ......DONT GET IT ! it may be good after a while but it traps heat and moistier belive it or not and in about 6 months u will have no exhaust left too heat wrap ...seen it alot of the time when i pull cars apart with the heat wrap ....may be good but it kills your exhaust ........

i would get a special paint an insulant paint not sure what its called but it does help .....or even better theres special sh*t u can put on your undercarrige like the heat wrap but works heaps better many ppl wit rotary's yous it .....

...trust me man i did it too my mates car when i started out in the trade of performance and shit 6 months later i pulled the wrap of cause he herd leaking under it and sh*t me there was just a skeliton of the exhaust ..... man we were stunned ..so we tried too claim but they say its only for drag use or some shit .....

sh*t. I put it on already.....

should'v read this post firs.t......

but would it help if I spray the exhaust first then wrap it and then spray on the wrapped exhaust again?

the guy told me at the exhaust place to damp the wrap with bit of water and then wrap.

and this wrap is pretty expensive !!! cost me 80 bux for the wrap and the spray

The stuff from Autobarn and places like that are a cheaper alternative to REAL exhaust tape.

If you want the good stuff, then I'd suggest to visit your local Revolution Racegear supplier, they have the stuff that goes on drag, rally, sprint cars. It's a little dearer, but if you want it, then you'll pay for it.

yeh i reckon dont use the wrap in the first place .... it was a real expensive blunder for me ..... i am now using the paint n under carrage matt .... works much better ......

now come too think of it by spraying it then applying the wrap u could get pass the corosion but under the wrap it gets bloody hot and the paint will most likly peel off then just start that shitty prosses again .....

guys, i went with jet hot coatings to get my dump pipe coated in some sort of ceramic coating inside and out, handles up to about 1000 deg, and they say it retains the heat in the pipe and out the exhaust...cost about $80 plus postage, and you get a free recoat if the product does happen to fail, there number is 1800700468

sorry to dig up the old thread but... what is "the good stuff"? is DEI good stuff? and with the good stuff is corrosion still a problem?

thanks

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
