hey all

just a quick one, will my TD04l melt my fibre glass front?

if so, what can i do to stop this, eg: exhaust wrap, heat sheild etc..

thanks guys, night!

Fibreglass is a thermoset plastic will not melt.
It may blister & burn, but it will not melt.

Wrapping & heat shields will not only help under bonnet temperatures, it will increase the efficiency of the turbo & reduce lag.

thanks awdmoke,

i wont be using a grille, to help with cooling, and ill have some kind of bonnet scoop, vent up top for more cooling, wrap and sheilds.

i guess we wont know untill its going!

anyone seen any stylish non rice scoops or vents that would suit a morris? i tryed www.ssv.com.au and had no luck (thats where i got the wrx scoop for betsy)

My engineer made me wrap my exhaust manifold and put a heat sheild on. At first i wasnt happy but when i left the car running for a hour on the drive and was still able to touch the exhaust manifold without burning myself i was impressed.

Dan

should i buy the stuff off ebay? they sell rolls of it, um i think a sponser off nissansilvia.com sell them, ummm GFB or FLYIN ill check.

no luck yet, when i find the site, would anyone be keen on a group buy?

if you are going to have problems with heat around the turbo and room. Buy a turbo bag. They shield the heat and aren't cheap but well worth it just for the performance gains

over time you will damage your paint more than the fibreglass

6 meters for $35. any good?

Yeah, but it does hold the dirt (not for show cars).

Try your local industrial supplier Blackwoods / Coventrys & ask for fibreglass ladder tape. May be cheaper.

Also soak the stuff if water before wrapping it on the car & wear gloves/dust mask. Stops too much of the itchy stuff

Not entirely sure about 'stylish' and I guess you'd need to trim the lip but not that bad

Clubman maybe a little less stylish

ahh ok, is that the same stuff? sounds like a plan. ill look into it when the shops are back open.

Clacker_Dacker, that morris bonnet looks sh@t hot. would love to do something like that, but ill see how i go with space, i think ill have to make do with 3 2" holes with mesh behind it (lower down, near turbo). not pretty but maybe effective?

thanks everyone, great help
