Every little bit helps! I have my air intake and charge pipes insulated with exhaust wrap. I spent a lot more than $25, and many hours of labor. I like your method, low cost, reduced labor and it's shiny!!
At some point, I'll probably buy the gold reflective tape and do it permanently. I don't really like the look of the gold, but it will probably look better than dryer ducting! 🤣
I've considered making my own kit a few times. The long braided line that runs from the trunk to the engine bay for the aux fuel system was originally bought to be used for a CO2 Intercooler sprayer.
@@KarzKreated if you do it, I was only able to find one place in Florida that will fill them and not extange them Air gas will let you rent a mother bottle But Indian river oxygen will chill the tank And fill it
I found a couple of places within an hours drive that refills co2. I guess they're still in business. That was one of the reasons why I opted against installing that kind of system.
@@KarzKreated yeah, just because they refill co2 doesn’t mean they can fill that tank they use an4 fittings so they need to fill n2o to have the correct fitting And in Florida you need the coder air My non pp eco has run 12 but i had a friend who was a little lighter than me run it
It should work well for that. Sitting in the staging lanes is pretty much like sitting in traffic. I'm leaving all of it on there for some long term testing, and mainly, I don't feel like removing it in the heat lol. So maybe I can try to simulate the environment of the staging lanes and see how the temps are.
@@CARBONCINEMATIC i drive an Yamaha R1 that has "only" 172 HP, power/weight ratio is the key. A 2.3 will probably save you 250 pounds while giving you half the power. See the problem?
@@Namenloser_ its *where* that weight is which is critical for a car’s performance. 250lbs off the front means the car is much more balanced and actually has decent weight distribution. I compete with mine in time attack against GTs and while they have the straights, I have the corners. So it’s pretty even.

Doesn’t make sense. You want to reflect heat away not keep it in
Why I like the intake Tube Eurocompulsion sells
This is going to be the driest joke on here
I see what you did there... 👏 👏👏
So lethal performance sells a kit that sprys n2o or co2, (co2 is cheeper) on the intercooler, to chill it and pull below ambient air temp

great idea
may Exhaust insulation tape help
It could, but it's best to use an isolation material rather than a material design to insulate. The goal is to keep the heat out, not in. 🙂
-10f = 1hp on naturally aspirated at least
Better off spraying co2 or packing dry ice on top of your intercooler
needs dragstrip testing. during the burn out for tire warming is where I would be most curious. cars and coffee no...

If you care so much about performance why did you buy the 2.3 ecoboost?
Performance ≠ horsepower
