Has anyone had experience with these sorts of products?

Application / removal / corrections to fitting

Pros / cons of each?

Top item is supposed to dissipate heat as well as reflect

Bottom more or less reflects.

 

I've freshly painted my engine bay and before I get stuck into putting things back together I wanted to do something like this to keep the heat out of the cabin and also protect my paint & carbon bonnet. (Although this sort of wrap might not be ideal for a rough surface it seems).IMG_20190219_132538_284.jpeg

Ceramic coating on turbine housing and dump pipe is a good idea.  Ex manifold too.  After that, any extra shielding is just icing.
Good callout.
Not doing the manifold as it's stainless.

But you are right about the rest.
Luckily my mate lives near HPC Coatings

    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.

    • FWIW, the Sutton Road facility is a good one, they have a wet kidney skidpan and a dry area as well as the back track....the club hired it a few times back in the day The clover and wet pans at Eastern Creek are the only ones I still know of in Sydney, that place is always expensive but different clubs would run different prices/formats There used to be a place called HART at St Ives, not sure if that still exists. We used to hire the runway at the tafe at schofields for dry motorkhana, not sure if anyone still does that. And of course that lovely one at Oran Park that is now a housing estate....
