hi guys, i noticed i dont have a turbo heat shield, maybe because my turbo has been upgraded (bigger) and was thinking of getting a turbo blanket/beanie believing they will keep everything cooler and make the turbo run more efficiant...

just want a bit of feedback from those who have one, or anyones opinions/information will help a great deal...

cheers

i thought they were good for drag/circut racing but on the street they give ur engine more wear cos its making the turbo work harder but then it makes it more responsive.

:rolleyes: All it does is act as a heat shield so you dont get heat soak in your pods.

but what about people who are running a standard air box or an air induction kit. they still use the blanket/beanie. i have a custom made heat shield around my HKS pod filter to stop heat soak, but that doesnt stop any heat of exhaust ect. getting the turbo or heat of turbo getting out into the engine bay...

The more hot air thats radiating from the turbo/s can really only stay in the one place and thats the turbo side of the engine. Sure even with a heat shield it can heat up but the shield deflects the radiating heat away from the intake piping and the 1st part of the cooler piping. This bag would do the same, still let out some heat but it won't be as hot when it get to the cooler piping in that area keeping everything a little cooler so ur really only going to see gains if ur running more boost where cooler air is actually going to gain u hp. If a turbo is spooling easier how can the engine be working harder? Once it's spooled up and working the turbo is doing the work for itself.

yeah they are good but u get more wear on ur enigine. its a win lose thing.. i could be wrong bout all this but ive been told be several diff mechanics

im sorry but that sounds like aload of crap to me, running this turbo bag will have NO effect watsoever on engine wear, how a turbo bag has any relevance to engine wear im not understanding so those mechanics might need to explain to us that reason coz i sure as hell am curious to see how.....

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
