Wraping down pipe

[tom h]

"Ideal Gas Law" basically says
Pressure = gas's mass quantity x gas's temperature ÷ gas's volume.

(ignoring fixed constant of proprtionality).

the gas quantity is same before and after turbo (what goes in , comes out). The volume's "sort of" the same.

so if gas mass quantity & volume didn't change, and if temperature didn't change, then pressure could not either.

from practical point of view, the turbine & blade design are usually most important for extracting the most heat out of gas.

same amout of volume going in tiny turbo housing v/s dumping in a 3" d/p is the pressure difference

exaust flows better hot than cold

so do you get more pressure drop by the exaust getting out the way or the exaust being restricted by slower flowing exaust.

This is getting technical Like I said, I just wrap the downpipe for lower under the hood temps. I didn't see any performance gains after doing this. I guess it depends on the individual.

Lower underhood temps produce a small amount of power by themselves, plus you have the added benefit of cooler air to things like the alternator, ign module, coil pack, etc. Maybe it make a difference maybe it doesnt, but the only time I would wrap mine is if it starts melting the car like Red's

pipe rap? is it anything like gangster rap? "if i dont get connected to a big turbo ill pull out my gat and shoot you in the toe" sorry, its friday and im in a good mood.

No Apologies Necessary!

Rock on, you wild & crazy Chiken!

Has anyone had their stock downpipe ceramic coated? I know my ceramic coated headers on my Mustang helped the underhood temperatures tremendously.

what brand wrap are you all using
