Great video man, great before an after temp portion at the end as well. Let me know the benefits you've seen so far.

@luiproductions 2 жыл бұрын

I haven’t noticed that the inlet pipe going across is not nearly as hot as it use to be without the turbo blanket. Also, I ended up putting the stock head-shield back on on top of the blanket and temps have dramatically reduced using that combo.

I believe so, I'll have to double check but its the standard O2 sensor removal tool that you can rent at Autozone if needed

Great video but it was such a pain to install especially the intake being in the way and the wires not wanting to work with me. Overall it improved boost build up and engine noise

You could search for safety wire or safety cable. It came with the blanket so I didn’t buy it separately.

Cutest mod ever… time to tuck in that turbo, keep her nice and cozy 😂 PRL got some dope shit for the 10th and 11th gen. I wanna get a 2022 Si, but California has the worst mark ups in the world… selling these at FK8 Type R MSRP’s.

Definitely helps a lot with heat management. I ended up using the stock heat shield along with the turbo blanket for added heat protection to the factory inlet pipe.

@truthseeker9026 Жыл бұрын

3:41 stock reads 165side-180 top 3:42 Prl reads 170side-250 top So my question is this. It keeps the overall temperature down aka heat soaking is less, where it should; but wouldn’t that warm up your intake air? Especially if the prl isn’t as efficient at the top. Heat rises, so that tells me that your just gonna warm up your air before the turbo even gets it. You still running this? How’s long term life? I have a new 22 Si and want to keep the engine happy. No power mods, just longevity mods. Ngl, this kinda seems like a placebo. Maybe if it could keep the top closed off better but since it’s left open. That’s where the shield is best. The sides is where the prl is best. 50/50 on that one

@luiproductions Жыл бұрын

Yes still rubbing it, got for the absolute best result, I find that running this in combination with the stock heat shield is best. I eventually even put some gold tape under the inlet pipe and that made a pretty big difference

@@truthseeker9026 I should make a follow up to this video. But you’ll feel the difference. Very carefully feel the heat coming off of the inlet pipe before you install it and then do the same after.

@DeezVideoPictures Жыл бұрын

To me it seems like you would have premature turbo failure because the blanket causes more heat to build on the hotside. For example turbo casting melting or failure due to warpage. Over time of course.

@luiproductions Жыл бұрын

Out of the tens of thousands of miles I’ve ran a turbo blanket on vehicles, I’ve never had premature turbo failure. This belief that turbo blankets might damage your turbo is not based on anything from what I could find. Turbos are designed to withstand A LOT of excess heat. Where people start running into issues is running their car hard and immediately shutting off the car. It’s good practice to let the car cool off a bit and let the oil circulate through the turbo prior to shutting the car off. I still highly recommend using a turbo blanket to help manage the heat in your engine bay and try to keep some of the other components cooler, such as your intake inlet pipe and the compressor side of your turbo.

@mattyice2208 2 жыл бұрын

can you install the turbo in general on the 11th gen civic sport?

@luiproductions 2 жыл бұрын

What do you mean? The 1.5t 11th Gen Hondas already come Turbo. If you’re referring to the 2.0’s there’s not kits that I’m aware of that will allow you to turbo them.

Guess I need to hit the gym because I don’t have your big guns at my disposal. Can’t get the dang O2 sensor off on my ‘23 Sport Touring, it refuses to budge! The other three bolts holding the heat shield on came off pretty easily, but I guess my arms are too twiggy to get the O2 sensor off. What looked like an easy install is going to end up requiring me to pay a pro. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
