I used the xt-ultimate. I got one large sheet. And only did the areas where it is hottest, which on EL headers, is directly after the first set of merges and all around the oul filter area. My uppipe was already wrapped. (It was the 3bolt uppipe that came with my old UELs). To do a full set of headers and uppipe i reckon youd need 2 sheets. But it does have measurements so you can work out how much you need.

The DEI wrap goes on nice and easy, can do it without gloves, wetting it, etc. Up-pipe is pretty simple though. It's just the stainless ties which are a bit painful. Did this in 10 minutes after half a bottle.

First attempt, a few loose ends and need some ties with a bit more length to them to fully secure the wrap.

Just the housing not dump was talking to a few of the other guys racing they said to bump my fluid up to dot 6 or something and Craig suggested to get some of that heat shield sheet and make something around the brake and clutch master cyls

Just off Ebay. Distributor over East. It's a Grimmspeed up-pipe from CMA.

DEI wrap | eBay

The up-pipe I have is ceramic coated, but wrapped it as well. Get a mixture of lengths of stainless ties as longer is better than shorter as they are a bit of a pain.

How certain are you the fluid was boiled? I thought the same thing, and I think it's my clutch. I can repeat the problem after a few minutes of driving. What are your symptoms?? Mine are i get a really spongey clutch pedal. Only seem to happen around and beyond 6k rpm. All other rev ranges, it's fine.

Still seems to engage OK, but feels really weird like something is wrong. I don't know enough about it all, but figure it could be:

- Clutch itself somehow
- Slave Cyl
- Master Cyl
- Rebleed?

I'm gonna drop the box and have a look soon. I think a launch may have attributed to this somehow. Seems like others have had this issue. I have a clutch that Doug put in recently with my 6 speed.

Quote:
Today, and a few other times in the past, when i shift out of second at high rpms, the clutch will get kind of spongy. WHat I mean by that is that there is a litle bit of play where there is no resistance before the pedle becomes firm again. if I put it in N and pop the clutch a few times it goes away.....clutch fluid?

As soon as it all cooled down totally normal again
