DIY Gold Foil heat wrap intake box - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Is air really staying in the intake long enough for it to be heated up by engine heat? I would think the ambient temperature would play a much larger role in affecting performance.

eh sorta id say, tho it could be a placebo effect. If not, it does seem a bit more responsive when driving constantly at like 4k. I dnt keep the car in high revs ever. Only went to 7k like 3 times so far

That is a sound trap, not a source for airflow.

true and false. There are 2 holes in this box that in theory do allow air travel back into the intake through this box

you may be right, but the box does get very hot regardless. The bottom "fin" looking bits that r molded for support were wavy, they sure as hell didn't come like that out of the injection form. Its dat fa20 heat distorting the plastic

I'm thinking about doing this. But I will say my cusco oil cooler has severely dropped engine bay temps. The plastics even after a track day are warm to the touch but not hot. Before shit was toasty after a 10 min drive lol.

lol I was going to say that NASA uses stuff like this for satellites and space ships to insulate them from the harsh temperatures of space

I wonder if you could wrap headers with this stuff.

this material deflects heat, it doesn't contain it. Also its based on a fiberglass cloth which would melt if placed on something like a manifold. As in op I've seen this on intake manifolds. But for exhaust manifolds u need header heat wrap. Its ALOT heavier, but it'll contain heat, instead of reflect it

no datalogging capabilities yet, nor do I have a temp gauges. I'll post data lags of intake air temp sometime in november

Notice a difference?
This foil stuff seems pretty expensive if you don't notice a difference.

Nice setup Stevo, want to do something similar.
