Thermal

After having lunch with family, Aron went to Rev Performance to get a Thermo Bandage.
Its time for some DIY stuff. +_+

This bandage supposed to wrap the extractor to bring down the temperature under hood.
But it also can be use on wrapping the intake pipe, to bring down temperature inside the pipe.


First, pop the hood, and remove the air ram.

After removing the air ram, Aron saw.....
means the air ram itself is milling the oil catch tank, even it block by a piece of rubber-a-like sticker....the sticker gone....

Heartache o...
hopefully this wont pierce....

Before the wrapping start, Aron open up the air filter kit and wash the sponge.

Lets get the WRAPPING started!!

Took around 5-10min.

Reinstall on me...
I like this angle.........


Benefit of the thermal bandage warped air intake:
- Maintain heat inside the stainless steel air ram
- Prevent heating up the stainless steel air ram
- Prevent scratches to the stainless steel air ram
- Make ur engine bay looks tidy ( Subjective, some driver may like the shiny shiny stainless steel air ram )


After wrapping, Aron bring me to Mech Kong, for a change of radiator fan motor which suspect by Aron's dad that causing me overheating.

Dismantling......

This is a non-original fan motor.

Installing a new...non-original fan motor =X
Original fan motor cost twice of an imitation fan motor, and Aron is not sure whether is this causing the overheating issue.

Mech Kong reinstalling.....
and he change my radiator water too, and add in coolant.

Result: Overheating issue isnt caused by slow fan. It still overheat.
