I've just put on new aftermarket turbos with the new style tomei dump pipes. I have noticed that I have about 5-7mm clearance in between the front turbo dump to the second turbo. Would it be necessary to wrap up the dump pipe with heat wrap or not?

I've heard rumors about it that prevents the dump from cooling down too quickly and cracking, some say it traps heat in and causes it to heat up too much and also heard when metal cools, it sweats and it can cause rusting.

what are your suggestions?

Make sure you use the stock head shields, that is all.

Not even the track GTR's coming outta Racepace have wrapped exhausts, i don't see the need personally and haven't seen a lot of evidence to back it up either

If it's a street car I don't think you'll have an issue with it being that close as there's nothing to melt in the area.

However, if you plan to track it some form of heat sheild is worth doing, whether you modify the stock ones or make some new ones out of sheet metal or that acl stuff you can get from supercheap. Thermal management is a major consideration for track work as you are generating lots of heat for reasonably long periods of time and it will just soak into surrounding bits of metal and ultimately attack anything perishable (rubber/silicone etc).

im interested in ceramic coating too, saw a great feature on motive dvd; how much is the stuff?

Use as a guide only..

Parts had to be stripped before taking them in. ie they wont disassemble anything (workshop liability which makes sense)

RB26 Twin 6boost Manifolds (External coating only, high polished Silver) $250.00

2 x Turbo Intake and Exhaust housings (External coating only, comp housing high polish silver, exhaust housings black) $160.00

2 x Split Dump pipes (internal and external coating, high polished Silver)

$120.00 per metre

thanks for the reply guys, problem fixed I put a welding shield which is abit stiffer then the normal heat wrap around the part where is needed and put a clamp around it, its not covering the dump pipe that much so it wont be a problem.

I appreciate the reply and i will use it as a guide, jst dont want to get a quote 300% above etc

Specifically i want to get my stock manifolds bored to suit new turbines and ceramic coat them + exhaust housings + dump pipes; can you ceramic coat cast iron though?......well with good or valued results?

thanks

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
