Hi guys keep u updated on my project. engin is closed now w8ing the waste gate manifold to get it on and get the engin mounted mean while i thought of doing all the cooling mods that could help as u know what they say every lil bit helps so we covered the turbo menifold, then we placed a heat shield on the turbo, and we r just about to do the water tab to help cooling the engin (moding the original 1 and not the pathfinder 1).

 

Nice Job dude

 

thanx mo man mak sure the cooling water tab thing the deatails r on the forum when u get ur TT.

 

not the prettiest heat wrap job on the passenger side. I'd try to rewrap it for better ocverage.

 

Maybe you didn't see my other post, maybe you did, but i offered to let you use my WG manifold if you were desperate to get your motor in. Then you could just ship me yours when you got it. Anyway, nice pics.

 

I guess it gets the job done, but I personally went with jet hot coating on the manifolds, and turbo housings. IIRC it was only $150. It's a lot cleaner and works better. It's not too late to get yours done. I have almost 20K miles on my kit and the manifolds and turbos still look brand new.

 

LOL it wasn't done when i took the pic i ran out of heat wraper...

 

I did man and I replyed thanking u alot and i explained that there is a used kit arround near where i am so i will b taking it from him and i siad if this doent work i will ask u to plz ship me urs and then i will do as u said send u the new 1 as soon as it arrives and thanx again man for ur generous offer u r a good man. i will let u know man soon.

 

JET HOT COATING any links plz and yes i would do it for sure nothing is too late as long as the engin is still on the ground. plz let me know if u have a link or a pic.

Thanx man u r a great help how ever they r not located anywhere near where i am so its not affordable.

 

Just have them shipped. I got Jet Hot 2000 on my greddy manifolds and they are amazing. Personally I would be careful with header wrap. If you have a fuel leak and it soaks into that wrap it will be like a torch. I also made my own turbo blankets for the hot sides out of 2000 degree aluminum heat wrap.

 

shipping them will cost more than u can ever think off i'm way away from the U.S. we r talking not less than a 1000$ shiping. but yes u r right about the wrap and fule leak well i guess i just have to be verey careful with it. wat can i do i am in a place where not much tech. is arround.. thanx budy for the advice. Regards..

 

Looks nice.

Jet Hot is just a brand name, and a pretty crappy one at that. You can find many local shops that do 2000 degree powdercoating (which is the same thing) for less money and with a much faster turnaround.

 

+1. I had a local shop do mine.

 

Definitely a good idea to do all you can to keep heat in the right place, and out of the wrong places.

But just FYI, most of the heat of the intake air will be coming from the compression process itself. I'm sure you knew that already, but whatever...
