What the hell?

[nzspokes]

What wrap did you get for that cheap? Or did you just flog some pink batts out of the roof?

Got it from STA parts with stainless clips. Google there webbie. Got 1" x 50 foot which will be way to much.

Will have to find other things to wrap.

I think you'll need to wet wrap that, and use a silicon spray sealer to keep it from turning to shit.

Make the effort to wrap it really really tight. Overlap it by half its width. Really tight.

Looks like I wasn't the only one. Please clarify

Which only serves to prove that youre not the only dopey shit that read it.

That was my thoughts to. And not expecting it to last. If I get more powa i will do a flash job.

[imdying]

It never lasts that long on a regularly driven street vehicle, hard to predict how long.... what we can however predict is how arse it'll look if it's not tight. Go slow, pull it as tight as you can

Are you gonna elaborate on what you you were trying to say? Obviously, there are many of us that are too dopey to understand what your point was, or maybe on the other hand, you were unclear

Does your hot water cylinder in your house heat up magically without using any energy, or is it only the cooling system of your car that does that? Do you actually think that ten litres of water can heat up to 90 degrees without burning any more fuel, or is the choke there just to offset the fact that fuel apparently sticks to the inside of a cold engine?
This has nothing to do with why engines prefer cold air. Cold air is more dense & contains more oxygen & thats where most of the power gain comes from in using a cold air intake.

Thermodynamics is a mystery to the commonfolk of KB...

No, but neither does it generate waste heat as a by product of combustion.

The choke (far more commonly a fuel enricher) is there to ensure the ratio is still stoichiometric, as when you start up the intake charge is a lot colder and denser, requiring more fuel. You run at a lower efficiency while warming up becuase the exhaust gases are colder also (due to more combustion energy passing into the cylinders and cooling system), so the temperature differential (thus efficiency) is lower than a fully warmed up engine.

Cold air intake in the power sense is much as you described, but for an efficient cruise, the butterflys are limiting the amount of air coming in anyway, so the density is not very relevant, however the temperature of it is.

And I can assure you header wrap works!

I think you're on a totally different wavelength to the rest of us here. I don't think anyone had said that the engine heats itself without using an energy source. Quite to the contrary, IIRC the energy from petrol is converted to only about 10% motive force and 90% is wasted as heat.

Does header wrap work better than a ceramic coating? I know the coating is quite a bit more expensive.

Have you seen any wrapped headers severely corroded 5 years down the track?

Never compared the two on the dyno sorry mate. As for the life of the headers...can't say. It was on my race bike. Two of the guys here have HD's with 2-1's on them, both wrapped. They've done thousands of km's...and they're both fine.
