I seriously doubt it!

The last time I brought some it was from Hoopers Motorsport but sadly they're no-longer trading.

Your best bet is either Demon Thieves or Merlin.

Its cheap on ebay. Never had any so dont know if its any good!

Hi
I was having big problems with heat, i got my heat wrap off ebay, its unbelivable it makes a big difference

I have used stuff of ebay and also the best I have used so far was from Kit Car Solutions. They quite often advertise in Retro Mag or PPC

I bought the DEI stuff off ebay, it came in a kit with a silicone based spray you spray on it after its wrapped which stops you getting that horrible itchy rash everytime you touch it. Works great as well.

Car Solutions for my stuff.Cannot imagine the heat problems without it.

'Where does the engine go?'

bought some last night off ebay. 10M for a tenner. not bad really. lol so how do i fit it now? whats the best way as ive never fitted it before

soak in water its stops the fibre itching your skin

Just remember to overlap it by half and keep it as tight as you can and you should be fine

Some time ago I heard something about a reduction of heat that could come of the manifold resulting in more heat in the head and valves which could lead to (valve) damage.
Any truth in this?
(I am building a supercharged engine I have a normal LCB, not a turbo manifold if that makes any difference.)

Dazed and Confused....

as some of you know im doing some headers for my 1150cc turbo build im looking for some good heat wrap that will last and keep the heat in the exhaust gas had a serch on e gay and found this stuff http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15m-50ft-1-Vulc...utorefresh=true
looks ok to me what do you guys think?

take off the turbo & manifold
wrap up tight and secure with two metal zip ties or hose clamps

nigh on impossible in situ, i should know lol!

also do the downpipe too
should take around 2/3 meters to do

Reading up on RTS Clutches

use stainless tie wraps look good and dont rust

Done now needs redoing lol

i did this on my manifold took it of 1 year later and my exhaust was so rusty and had a crack in the part were the two tubes meet, might not be down to the wrap but worth considering, i still would use it on a turbo though with it getting very hot

i see since the motor is fresh it will be done off the car no problems there
i had read some place from google that it causes rust so i thought well why not paint it?? so i think ill use the VHT paint them have some 2000f stuff worth a go under the wrapping to help with the heat as well
