Turbo blanket exhaust wrap install. .

Well here we go..:cheers:

*
A week or so ago, I bought a turbo blanket ($34), thinking that I’d use it instead of having to buy an aftermarket heat shield when I install my CNT downpipe. *I did not want to have to modify the stock heat shield (cutting is involved, which would make the heat shield less effective).
So, I’ve been doing a lot of research, trying to determine if there are any real consequences in using a turbo blanket. *The premise of using a turbo blanket is to keep the radiant heat of the turbo inside the hot side of the turbocharger, which would make the heat stream more effective. *A possible consequence would be that the resulting heat would put the heat level outside the normal heat range of the hot side of the turbocharger, which could cause premature failure of the turbocharger. *Another possible consequence would be that the additional heat could cause an engine that was recently stopped to coke any oil that is in the cooling system on the hot side of the turbocharger (this could be debunked due to the fact that modern turbochargers usually are cooled by both oil and water, such is the stock turbo we have in our ecostang wether it be after market like the vargas t2 turbo I am running studies have shown us it will not reduce life of turbo

My finding is that there is no solid evidence that a turbo blanket will kill your turbocharger. *Turbochargers are built to take very large measurements of heat, so adding a heat blanket should not overburden the turbocharger. *Heat also makes the turbocharging system more efficient (the more heat, the better the turbo reacts to the demand for boost).

The main reason I want to use a heat blanket is so that my IC won’t be heat-soaked, since it is below the turbocharger (it is side-mounted). *A heat-soaked IC would more than likely cause a pull in timing during the hot months of summer or in stop-go traffic, or even at local track events.
There’s a crap-ton of information regarding this topic and I can’t seem to find any solid consequence for using a turbo blanket, so I’m probably going to install my mew turbo blanket. I’m also going to buy a top-tier heat shield, and I’ve evaluated a couple here.
Also, note that I’m well aware that there are cheaper variants of this style of turbo blanket. In doing my research, I also found that Perrin has allowed PTP the right to sell what is essentially a Perrin design (when I find that URL again, I’ll link it here). *As well, there are apparently new versions of these blankets. *They’re essentially made from ground lava rock, which allows these variants to retain heat more efficiently:clap2:

Testing By Protech Performance and Import Tuner Staff


In the world of aftermarket vehicle modification, products seem to be able to be divided into three camps: those that are added for clear-cut, obvious reasons (turbochargers, performance suspensions, stickier tires, etc.), those that have no performance purpose (engine bay dress-up, vinyl/paint, certain interior accessories, etc.), and some-the same product-we see added for different reasons, depending on who you ask. This month we put one of the latter to the test.The Claim: Turbocharger heat shielding can increase power and decrease turbo lagTurbocharger and manifold heat shielding, usually in the form of coatings, wraps, or blankets, have been promoted for years for their benefits such, of decreasing underhood temperatures-that much is fact. They work. But some will claim adding them significantly increases power and torque output, and decreases spool time compared to using nothing at all.More heat kept in a turbo manifold or inside a turbine housing equates to more pressure (energy) that can be directed through a turbine wheel, improving turbine performance, and subsequently compressor performance, for an increase in overall boost pressure and a decrease in the time it takes to build that pressure.

http://image.superstreetonline.com/...0/impp_1103_04_o+heat_shielding+dynograph.jpg

To test the claim, we collaborated with engine insulation specialists Protech

Recording temperatures at the turbo compressor inlet and valve cover upon the completion of each run verified that the blanket staved off temperatures, as we knew it would. And as we suspected, power and torque increases-as well as a spool time decreases-were present as wel.

The Verdict::first:
Although the gains weren't humongous, neither was our 2.3 engine or its turbocharger. The benefits this simple modification could bring to something like a time-attack Ecoboost mustang would likely make it one of the most cost-effective power increasing mods one could make, and as always, the decreased underhood temperatures mean better radiator performance, cooler intake charges, and longer life for vacuum lines and wiring harnesses.

I got it.. thanks

As far as heating the block the turbo blanket will keep area concerned cool but the block is getting heat from the turbo enough not to protect it. I would think for 40.00 $ is cheap insurance just not to do it..

more info on turbo blanket study..:cheers:

So, I installed one of the ebay special titanium turbo blankets about a month ago. Fully removed the heat shield.
First impression, looks good, photos to follow.
Second, after 3 hours of spirited driving. I was able to open the hood and put my hand right on the blankey. Barely warm.
No performance improvement at all ;that was expected.
Also, in this insane cold lately, the usual hot spot on the hood above the turbo is gone. Snow melted evenly across the hood.

So, this thing does as advertised, underhood temperatures are greatly reduced.
I'll let you all know when my motor blows up.

How much is yours designed to take?

Click to expand...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Unless you can answer the question (how much heat is your turbocharger built to take) you have no idea if a heat blanket will cause premature wear. You can say you're willing to take a risk that it won't, but you can't say for certain it won't.

Perfectly good reasons for trying to minimize heat in the engine compartment.

I don't get why you keep saying this; you listed negative consequences at the beginning of your post. I'm not sure if you're trying to convince yourself or everyone else. Take a look at this article listing the major causes of turbo failure. The last item on the list is extreme heat. Enough heat will destroy ANYTHING. What is the recommended solution?

Install a pyrometer gauge to keep an eye on exhaust gas temperature, and stay within the recommended heat threshold for your particular engine/application.

Of course, that requires knowing the recommended heat threshold for your particular engine/application.

Judging by the list of mods, it's pretty clear to me that you value performance over engine component life. There's nothing wrong with that, dude. Hell, the teams for top-fuel dragsters tear down the engines they use after every race--they only expect major engine components to last a few seconds. Why is it so hard to say you're willing to risk some unknown percentage of your turbo's service life for better performance?

^ Very good points indeed

All good points your making! I have a ton of mods on my car as you can see ,and was on a march to minimize all heat from in the block to outside the the block ,and not only aluminum parts which has a lower melting point than iron ,but not only the block ,water pump,oil squirter,oil ,and transmissions from going into a meltdown . the turbo is cheap in my book easy to get to ,and 2 hours to replace so this is a expendable piece to me! not like the piston and connecting rods are easy to get too..

My unicorn has 42,000 miles and now pushing 450 wheel HP ""to the wheels"" and say this to your post ""my money I can do whatever I wan't"" just keeping some informed as I go ,and a car with that HP 30 mpg with 5 maps and can be done on the fly to change is assume to be test model..

I have owned many turbo cars this is all science to me ,and not bad be the scientists ""on this one"" my car! my parts! my money , and not to mention my findings on heat management from my set up.. I'm sure not all set up are equal when it come down to mod listing on there unicorns, but on mine this how to me keeping here rolling, rolling ,rolling, down the road mate..

You can walk down every thread and"" pick it apart ""if you like to do , and which you do"" on regularity on this forum"" it is a good thing this were we learn from one another:ford:
