JamieP Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm just finalising the last bits to my GTR build that starts in a couple of weeks. I've found this stuff that I want to use to protect the turbo intake pipes with, just worried it might not be flexible enough as the pipes have a slight bend, anyone know of anything better? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection/cool-it-kevlar-heat-barrier AMS use a gold reflective sheet, I can't find anything like this though. http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/alpha-nissan-r35-gt-r-turbo-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The Kevlar looks like it could work if you cut it into strips and wrap it around maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Top stuff looks great but the DEI gold sheeting is also very good, it's pretty thick and easy to apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentAgro Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Gold is supposed to be the best heat protection you can get. Which is why its on satellites. The only thing is. Its stupidly expensive. That kevlar stuff looks pretty good though. 90% reduction up to 3000f. That will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 If nobody knows of anything better I think I will go with the top one then, i thought id check as normally some bright spark comes up with some super product that's just out and I kick myself for wasting money on the wrong product Cheers.

Swampy442 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Give Chris Wilson or Lee a call mate, they will surely be the people to talk to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ok used to wrap my pipes in heat reflective loft insulation. Worked a treat in keeping the heat out. Wrapped with some aluminium foil tape. Cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Use this on the rx7 race cars http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magmawrap-Exhaust-Wrap-50mm-x-1-5mm-x-20-Metres-/261066272388?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc8c32e84 Also do a gold tape which is mustard Edited January 3, 2013 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerogel - is the best insulation so far known to man - its available in sheet form , its now used in building insulation in one form - you would need to ring around suppliers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
