Turbo Beanie Or Hpc Coating

[blow thru]

Just wondering what are the pros an cons with a beanie or hpc coating the rear housing, would like to drop under bonnet temps, thanks

Both, HPC coatin gny itself is next to useless if you are giving your car a sustained flogging. Sure it drops the temps, bt only from farking hot to bloody hot...both are still too hot

exhaust wrap seems to do the trick, you can hold your exhaust dump right after some heavy revving.

Yes i was thinking of the wrap as well,my dump is wrapped an it does a good job so i may have answered my own question, i hav done a little bit of research but comes with mixed results.Ihav read that beanies can catch fire is this true?

I use both. The Beanie aids with engine bay temps & offers protection from fire(burst oil/fuel line). The ceremic coating helps to retain heat which increases air speed

Imight just heat wrap it an if im not happy i could always put a beanie over the top.

I started a thread on whether the beanie was worthwhile a little while ago as my engine bay temps were still quite warm after I ceramic coated everything. I now have a beanie which i picked up online from HPinabox - highly recommended and highly effective and one of the better quality ones I've see and perfect fit to boot.

I rarely comment on pics, but mate........ thats a really amazing engine bay. Not only just neat, but everything looks 'engineered' really well so to speak. Congrats !!

And that is a nice beanie, look better than most out there.

Did you happen to actually measure before /after temps ?

Heat management is still work in progress. You can touch the beanie with the engine going - its about 25mm thick and a little thinner on the sides. Didn't measure temps but my hand tells me its a lot better.
