Hey im just wondering does this kind of paint exist?? The reason im asking is im thinking bout buying a aluminium heatshield as its made from aluminium the pod would not be properly insulated and would not be recieving enough cold air. So besides getting it professionally ceramic coated are there any right out of a can products which would insulate and increase the amount of cold air the pod gets??

Yes i think so, i forgot the brand, but u can get them in aerosol spraycans at supercheap and amercian auto etc. it'll have advertising on it as heat resistant paint for brake callipers, engine covers, underbodys etc. and they have different heat range resistant to whatever degrees and stuff. i don't know how much good it'll do or it really works but yea, thats the products i've seen. Think exhaust shops spray that stuff on, once all the piping is done. ummm...if it helps, the brand im thinking of says they use it for the space shuttle.

Yeh i got an email from a company who makes heat resistant paint they told me this.

" Hi Temp aerosol is a spray paint that is designed to withstand temperatures above 500 deg C but it is not an insulating coating. Any heat that it is subjected to will transfer through the coating. Specific specilaised ceramic coatings are sometomes used on exhaust systems to reduce the transfer of heat. Basically what you will need to find is an isulation paint."

So yeh the search goes on for this insulation paint

do u rreally need a spray on product?, what about an insulation material stuck on the outside of the box? Clark rubber sells stuff like that, dunno if anyone on here has tested the air temp difference, but i basically have some insulation martial over the aluminium sheild with a cold air duct coming from where the IC pipe used to be. well good luck anyways.

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
