To wrap or not to wrap.
So I have been thinking (Weird huh). Is warping the exhaust manifold/down pipe/blanketing the turbo, beneficial? This may centralize the heat but, does it help a performance power-plant in the EGTs? I am confused by the information. thats why I ask the question "To wrap or not to wrap"? I read and talked to Bruce at Pittsburgh Power He says (I am paraphrasing) that it helps lower EGTs by increasing the velocity because the heat energy stays in the exhaust manifold and housing of the turbo where it can make the most boost. I have also been told by some of the locals here in redding that it is not needed, they say just get a better flowing exhaust and turbo, combined with a good flowing intake system and your set from EGTs (this is with the understanding of a slightly modified street/tow rig not a true performance truck). I am leaning towards Bruce. I just wanted to read some opinions on the subject. While I am at it, how about wrapping the intake from the filter to the turbo? Then from the air to air heat exchanger? I know, I know, it's an overkill idea, but just another thought that needs some experimentation. Just to see if there is any change in performance at all, I mean even if it is just small. if there is no change then it was an idea that did not pan out. Thanks again for allowing me the privilege to start another thread.

Heat = Energy.... The more energy you can put from the motor through the turbo the better spool and more or less the more boost you can make.....

Diesel motor needs 1000* air to be efficient & combust/fire ect but... Drop ambient air temp 1* and gain a whole ass load of power (100+ HP) |
Thanks for posting Brice. I Knew you would help confirm my info. :c:

totally thought this thread was about something else.

i tore mine off an painted it with heat resistant paint
|
for me wrapping a truck like a body wrap

Please take the poll! while your reading. :tttt: :bat:

I was thinking "Is this girl hot enough to risk it and not wrap it?"

LMAO
