HOW TO: Intake Tube GOLD Wrap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- A video showing how to wrap intake tubing with gold heat wrap without wrinkles. Gold foil heat wrap effectively lowers the temperature inside the tube that may be raised by adjacent heat creators such as exhaust manifolds and coolant lines. Great for engine bays!

This is by far the cleanest install on RUclips
Finally a video where it's done properly, now feeling confident to use the Gold Wrap I bought.
So much knowledge in this one video it's unbelievable
I just wrapped my crack pipe with the gold wrap
Cracking
Lmfao!! Awman I needed that one. Thanx man.
unstablebobgable 😂🤣😂🙆🏾♂️
Does the pipe still burn your lip if you get a little crazy one night.lol
Very helpful
Great job taking your time on it
It came out clean and looks like its gonna reflect some of the heat off that tube
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.
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.
Very much appreciated. I had a go at mine without cutting it to width and my god it looked ghetto. Thanks!
Glad to be of help!
Great tip on overlapping from the front
Wish I’d seen this sooner lol nice video my friend
good stuff man. Used this to wrap an intercooler Y-pipe on a twin turbo Supra
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! 👍
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
That's superb work! Looks fantastic
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...)
Now putting the gold tape under the silicone couplers won't cause a blow off under boost?
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?
And that adds how much power or is it's safety thing
I did my tube and it looks like shit but I'm certain those air bubbles help
I'm German,why should you overlap and why were narrower stripes added later?
For sure looks good, but i thought polished silver reflects more heat than gold does? I could be wrong tho
Is it normal for a gold wrap to burn straight trough when hit with a lighter??
Nice job!
Great Job👍
Does it matter if you do double wrap.
Can you show us a more complicated pipe that has MAF sensor housings or pressure fittings? How do you work around those?
👌🏼 thanks for the video on that, looks great
No one will ever see under my hood except for me myself and I. So......fuck it!
Nice
I feel like this is an over complication of a simple project.
Literally a performance killer
Que buen trabajo
does it make a difference in heat????
If you don't thermally isolate your intake track heat tape just holds the heat in that's all it does
@@highspeedenthusiast6628 Like anothrr RUclipsr was sayin, then all the time attacks, endurance cars are wasting rheir money because again and again it is used on intake piping boosted or NA.
Even cutting tiny strips I can’t make the bendy parts work 🤷♂️
Try on a tighter bend then show us that vid
For tighter bends, make thinner strips. I'm assuming there is some newer technology these days for heat wrap. Maybe something that stretches.
Diameter x 3.14 = circumference
Just don't. You won't notice any kind of effect
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.
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.
Oh, guess we better tell all the engineers at like every professional race team to stop wasting their money on it then 🤔🤔🤔
