GZE interheater?
Fri, 20 June 2003 01:30
I'm running a AE92 GZE with a 159mm pulley making 11psi.
Standard top mount intercooler, runs more like an interheater, almost to the point of after going for a big stint, it gets so hot, you can't touch it.
I've got aftermarket extractors with thinner tubing than original (obviously, because original, they're cast) and they seem to put out an enourmous amount of heat into the engine bay. It's my assumption that the heat from the extractors is going straight into the intercooler.
Has anyone made up a heat sheild for underneath their intercooler? Is it worth thermal wrapping the extractors to carry the heat away from the enginebay? Maybe some sort heat sheild above the extractors?
I know that front mount is the way to go, but I'm talking a CHEAP alternative to reducing the heat, as bugets are tight atmo.
