went out for a little blast today and all is not good

 

would seem zandvoort has taken its toll on the car didnt really want to have to take the clam off before snetterton but looks like its coming off so i can stop the car from melting 

 

 

as you can see the manifold has got very hot and melted all the heat shield on the inside of the boot 

 

 

so ive ordered some nimbus and exhaust wrap 

 

i didnt want to wrap the manifold on the exhaust as i figured i wanted as cool as possible to prevent cracking the manifold 

 

not really what i wanted before snetterton but owning these cars dont always go to plan

Just fit nimbus behind it bud No need to wrap it then IMO I suggest wrapping the u bends tho

[vocky]

no need to even remove the clam, just add nimbus like this;

 

[Kieran McC]

Chris time to get the angle grinder out rear clam vents required as well.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Not sure I will be able to get it like that Vocky unless I take the clam off But that's what I will do @ Kieren I'm not cutting my clam

[oakmere]

I have also added two little heat shields either side of the manifold. I made mine out of alloy with heat proof matting but nimbus should work better. Did you add any extra under tray vents?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Yep I added one But thinking I need a other one near the down pipe

Making a slight modification to my PCV system to reduce the vacuum pressure, as the Harrop seems to be producing  lot of vacuum in the PCV system

 

 

restrictors are these little beauty

 

 

just need a minor mod to make one of them work

Have them on some machines at work

Pneumatic non return valve with a flow restrictor on it, you think that will work??

Yes unless you can tell me why not

Let her drive it at Bedford. I need some competition .

Probably would be quicker as she doesn't have to rebuild it if it breaks

Sorted that for you

Making a slight modification to my PCV system to reduce the vacuum pressure, as the Harrop seems to be producing  lot of vacuum in the PCV system...

 

 

 

How do you reckon that happens? Vacuum is created in the intake manifold with closed throttle plate (and open bypass valve), so Harrop is doing not a lot at that moment. 

 

But it creates more boost pressure, so more bypass gasses to the crankcase that need improvements to the breathing system...
