stupid question

[corkie]

after reciently fitting my new mf, im worried about the arrowed part,s gettin too hot,the car is a daily drive and i didnt realise how much heat comes off it,i dont realy want to tape it up...?thank's

[asmith88]

i think they are built to withstand certain temps, they are always going to heat up anywhere under the engine bay

[corkie]

normal heat from a standard manifold yes, but the heat produced by this manifold has me concernd.

[gooner1]

What is the temp put out by a normal manifold, compared to the new one?

[corkie]

no feckin idea gooner,but its deffo hotter under there.

[gooner1]

Not disputing that corkie, have the same M/F. would be interesting to know the difference
though.

my clutch fluid bottle didnt melt that much right next to a glowing red hot turbo so i reckon itll be fine.

...... and from me.

[fuzzy]

it did go a bit saggy though.

[gooner1]

...... and boiled the clutch fluid

[fuzzy]

no,surprisingly enough that was fine.

[SAQIB]

were did you get that manifold from i want one!

[gooner1]

Hottuning SAQIB, have a look in the Groupbuy section.

can you not make a longer heatshield?

the one on your car seems to cover sodall

[tha_lick]

forget heat shield, you may as well heat wrap the manifold, they says it cuts engine bay temperature slightly and somehow benifits in other ways too. . . im not sure if any of thats true but i had a mk1 golf cabby with a 16v motor in it with the manifold heat wrapped and none of the wires in that got burnt or anything. . . not very pretty looking though?
