yeah well i get like that sometimes and if it wasnt for this one dude at work i wouldnt have made it this far i dont reckon or maybe i would have but i would be majorly stressed out and would have probably punched a whole in the wall or something by now. Its gets stressful skinning your knuckles all the time and hitting your hands up against sharp edges

yeah, well today i was contemplating whether i want to do this or not?? Just jobs that piss u off that arent as easy as it seems. Especially when the tradesman give me shit coz i aint as quick as them. Well i am not going to be as quick as them in my 1st year but that doesnt matter to them. I mean alot of the time they were just ganging up on my as a joke but that shits me more. Like i ask for a hand ans they start clapping and saying good on ya mate yeah. thats annoys me alot. But u get over those things i guess even though i aint fully over it now but after a good night sleep and afew rums i more than likely will be

lol. yeah well u will meet alot of those dreamers in live and i will also coz im 18 so still got many years ahead of me. But life sucks sometimes aye. But u keep at it and it gets better. Like on wednesday it will be better for me coz thats when i pick up my new car. Hell yeah. So until that day then it will continue to be shyt

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
