Finally a video where it's done properly, now feeling confident to use the Gold Wrap I bought.

Great tip on overlapping from the front
@bobos2456 жыл бұрын
Very nice video, only thing I would say works better, is to peel a little bit of the backing off the tape, align the tape where you need it, and then pull the backing along the line you want the tape to lay, while sliding your fingers along the tape as it gets layed down. Laying it will be much quicker, and you don't run the risk of getting hand oils on the tape/wrinkling it/folding it onto itself/etc.

Now putting the gold tape under the silicone couplers won't cause a blow off under boost?

I remember when I wrapped my intake on my '96 corolla (literally just an elbow pipe), I had issues cause the damn wrap keeps getting wrinkled lol since I put the battery in the trunk (functional), I extended the intake filter away from the fan but looked up a video & how to do cleanly wrap an intake without having any creases (or the damn air bubbles...)

I'm German,why should you overlap and why were narrower stripes added later?

Is it normal for a gold wrap to burn straight trough when hit with a lighter??

Great video, thanks for sharing! Great tip regarding the seams, I love your eye for detail! Wish I had seen this video before I did my intake haha.. o well, now I know what to do next time! 👍

Does it matter if you do double wrap.
@highspeedenthusiast66284 жыл бұрын
Does this tape hold any heat value? Or is it simply installed to keep the air intake charge as hot as possible but looks cool?
@GladiusYTR5 жыл бұрын
Can you show us a more complicated pipe that has MAF sensor housings or pressure fittings? How do you work around those?

For sure looks good, but i thought polished silver reflects more heat than gold does? I could be wrong tho

Great job. I plan to wrap everything I can in the engine bay with gold tape, exhaust header wrap etc and see how much it helps. I’ll do a before and after with my temp gun
@stevsautomotiveperformance65805 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback all. When I get a little more time I will shoot a comparison video: wrapped vs bare to see the internal air flow temp deviations from an external heat source.

If you don't thermally isolate your intake track heat tape just holds the heat in that's all it does

@DTM1908 ай бұрын
For tighter bends, make thinner strips. I'm assuming there is some newer technology these days for heat wrap. Maybe something that stretches.

It won't matter on boosted engines because the air goes through the intercooler anyway to get cooled. No matter if hot air goes into the intake, it's cooled anyway.
@MangosArtClub6 жыл бұрын
Lol, intercooler piping will also soak heat, this will help reflect it. Also, colder air going into the intercooler will be colder coming out compared to hot air going in.
