Turbo Beanie
Turbo Beanie
Hey guys, just fitted a denco turbo to my Nissan patrol TD42. Its on a top mount manifold and has an internal wastegate, with the wastegate bracket bolted to the exhaust housing. Being top mounted it is close to my second battery. Has anyone found a turbo beanie to suit an internally gated turbo, or modified a normal beanie with success. Any other ideas for keeping heat away from spare battery would be appreciated. Cheers
Re: Turbo Beanie
Here mate, you can use something like this to make a barrier around the turbo, heck you can even double shield it http://www.ngmotorsport.com/shop/products/40.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Re: Turbo Beanie
Acl gaskets do heatshielding in a flat panel you can easily bent and shape by hand good for high temps you could put a shield round the battery and over turbo its not bad price and can get from repco etc

I ran a turbo beanie on my ext wastegate highmount turbo setup on a gq rb 30 was very effective. I bought mine through MTQ Rockhampton. Really good lowered underbonnet temps dramatically and turbo was very close to second battery ran this setup and never lost a battery from heat.
