[DIY]Thermal Wrapping~Exhaust,Intake Piping,Aircon piping

[LameSpeeder]

Ingredients:
1.Thermal Wrap (30meters for whole exhaust system,15meters for header or turbo manifold)
2.Clips (the more clips the more secure n firm your wrapping will be)

Tools:
1.Long nose plier

Advantages:
Exhaust
1.Bring down temperature in your Engine Bay
2.Increase exhaust temperature for faster air flow velocity
3.Nicer n Tidy engine bay's looks

AIr con Piping
1.Minimize the engine heat interference with the air con piping which coolant flowing in it.Consistency of air con temperature

Intake Piping
1.Cooler intake air = Engine perform better and more constant.

WARNING!
This is a fibreglass based thermal wrap,It will cause itchyness when in contact with human skin.Gloves,Long sleeves and long pant are advised to be worn during the process.


1.Place one end of your thermal wrap perpendicular to the piping you want and hold it

2.Wrap around it and make a 30degree turning

4.Let every wrapping overlap it by half of the thermalwrap's width. The 2nd Pic show you a wrong example without overlapping it.Yes it will save u some of the stuff but the finish product won't last long and it doesn't function cos there's a leak for heat dissipation.

5.Put your clips in...pull n Fully Tighten it (moderately pulling force cos the edge of the clip is kinda sharp)

6.Now take out ur long nose plier and really make sure ur clips is FULLY tighten!

7.Cut the the extra left over material,fold it back and fold again so that u can insert it back to the clips holder itself....after folded u may wanna hammer it abit to reassure that it's secure properly

Basically i've oredi briefly the necessary skill for this DIY...the rest of the wrapping just apply the similiar technic.Oh ya...you wanna ask me how many clips to use huh?yaya....i'll tell you more clips = more secure.But fren...agak agak lah :D

Finally!

I post this DIY doesn't mean i'm a pro in it...any question or doubt just post here,let's discuss!Enjoy The fun of Builiding ur own machine!

yeap...nice work man! but did it smoke the first time you started up?

And everytime it gets wet?

every1 face this problem hehehe this is normal.....just the moisture inside the thermal wrap getting vaporize. no big deal ^^

 

[kelisa6009]

how much is the thermal wrap?

 

[frank118]

Bit Hisha...does it get that way like say heavy rain and then stuck in a jam...does it smoke? Or its a one time thing?

Kinda bad if in a traffice jam, the air con would be sucking the smoke in the car.

wrapping d air con hose is a must in our recently became hotter weather....became noticeably colder....wrap the part closer to the manifold most heat comes out from there.....

normally after all the moisture contain inside the thermal wrap finish vaporize, u won't c the smoke again..... but if u said ur hood hv a big ventilation hole will b always kena water into it, then should b smoke all the time when it get wet ....but this is normal, the header without thermal wrap kena water also will hv smoke come out wat hehehe

but so far my friend tested on his car around 2 years ...just the 1st time get smoked ....after that til now never meet the smoke again.....even heavy jam in the heavy rain, also never get smoked !! hehehe

Where can I buy those clips...?

 

[consonar]

those clips can buy at sparepart... it is same as driveshaft clips... "tokey, saya mau itu klip driveshafy punya!!"

btw, for those who want to diy this thermal wrap, PLEASEEE.. PLEASEE!! wear a proper shirt n other protection from the fibre glass.. coz last time i did it, damnnn, one whole week feel itchy like a needle stuck on your skin.. cannot sleep n rub my skin.. really hurt n itchy.. really bad wooo..

but then one of my fren laugh at me... he said, "why u dont soak the thermal wrap in the water first??? so that the fibre just stick on that wrap n not flying around..."

then 2nd attempt , i follow what he told me.. u know what... no more fibre flying around and stick to my skin or shirt...

just my lil experience

 

[GT_AUTO]

YO YO YO !! good info bro, but this not recommended to do when u r DIY ur own fiberglass bodykit hehehe

1 question, if soap inside the water, did it dry easily ?

 

[frank118]

How about the air con hose? What should we use to wrap? The rubber tube insulation?

Hardware stores have? If go to air con shop might as well ask them to do it...
