Jellybean Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Anybody who has their turbo housing coated by zircotec, did you still have the need to run a turbo blanket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Wouldn't have thought so as that's what the Zircotec is for surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Wouldn't have thought so as that's what the Zircotec is for surely? Nothing like using a heat gun and measuring the temp, wondered has anybody tested it yet Max you are only getting 33% heat reduction with the white coating, it is less with other colors, will 33% heat reduction even warrant not using a blanket Engine bay preservation is also one of the main reasons to apply the coating I have a new DEI blanket sitting here , they are not cheap ; I would rather sell on if surplus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I was looking at the scenario backwards from you I think. Has anyone with Zircotec coating ever melted or even damaged another component in the engine bay from excess heat? If not, don't bother with the blanket. A street car isn't really going to build up the kind of temps you'd see in a track car either and they seem to hold up fine with just the coating. Would be a shame to hide the Zircotec coating as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Zircotec got back, I would not expect them to say anything else We wouldn’t recommend putting any other heat shielding material over the coated product. ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
