Turbo blankets
#16
Do you think there would be any advantages to running anything in addition to the inconel blancket?

From what I have personally experienced it should be sufficient to add the inconel shielding without any additional insulation. I would not just go for the turbine housing, but also the exhaust manifold. I don't have access to the TTZR1 setup pics right now, but I included a pic below of something similar to what I did on that project.

I suppose you could further improve the ability to contain the heat within the turbine housing or exhaust manifold by adding more insulation. If you look at a turbine housing and exhaust manifold it has so much surface area and that is the killer because it radiates heat.

I guess more insulation will only help with matters!
On the ATP Wrap product, diose it come in standard turbo sizes? E.g. T25, T3, T4, T6?
on the manifolds, can you buy it iby the sheet like you can some other insolation??

Chris, the shields are fabricated to fit the application, but I would bet most of the turbine housing shields are available. Once you hold one you will understand what I mean as they are very rigid once formed. What would typically happen is that you send the manifold with turbine housing and they fabricate the shielding for your specific application. Turn around time is usually 2-3 days.

I run a titan motorsports blanket on my T76 cobra and works GREAT! I can touch it even right after a hot run! I had the hotside on my last T76 ceramic coated but NO way in hell you can touch that even if its idling! Only reason why I don't toss one on my EVO is it is a bottom mount and since the EVO is my daily and gets rained on the water would pool up in the blanket If I had a top mount I would use so it didn't hurt the pain on the hood!

I don't think there's enough to read actually. Has any one seen a blanket formed well enough to fit the stock hotside with o2 housing? Are there any options out there that can be cut and fit at home?

I had bought one from Titan a while back. It worked great but after a while the fabric pieces came out and made a mess all over my motor. I will buy another, most likely another brand. It was amazing to see a glowing red hotside sitting inside one of these blankets and it not getting burned all to hell.

Seriously thought these inconel sheidleds look very cool (no pun intended! lol). Below is a link to one guy that made his own turbo blanket. Maybe if someone could get these Inconel shields made then they could also make a 'faberic shield' to conver the turbo and manifold to! That should give REALLY help keep the heat in.
