might be gua, tmr only go buy, c sempat buat tak lo...

So is it a big concern?

Hi guys, thanks for caring...I went home early and as usual I'm a guy who can't sit still for long time. So I went to my wife lot kitchen and grab a box of Reynolds heavy duty Alu wrapping foil. I end up wrapping my whole air box and the stock intake rubber hose hahahaha....some say it don't do any effect but I still find the science behind it as Alu foil is a good insulator with the shinning side facing out. Because it reflect radiated heat. My point of doing this is not expecting any gain but more to intake temp control and to reduce the air box getting heat soak...what you guys think? I can't seem to find michi formation on this over the web...most they say is use to wrap sandwich

If it's the case of kena water, shouldn't be a concern.

I tot u say went home early to medicate yourself....mana tau

Let us know if it works, I have been thinking how to insulate the airbox but never tried anything. Was thinking of using insulflex but mahihi said will trap heat instead

got go over flood or water puddle?

Hi Bro...

Yup, Bro Mahihi is correct...and so is Bro TitanRev...
IIRC acc2 basic Sc (learnt in Sec Sch?), DARK surfaces (eg Insuflex = Black) are Good Absorbers of heat whereas Shiny ones (eg Shiny side of Alu foil) are Good Reflectors...

I don't think that theory is applicable in this case, as insulflex is chiefly used in the industry to insulate air conditioner pipings

If you've applied insulflex under your bonnet, you will see that your bonnet won't feel hot after driving as it is insulated from the engine heat.

Yup, Bro..true also...

There's the other characteristic due2 material used...

Insuflex is made of POOR conductor of heat (non-metal) whereas the Alu foil is of metal...which is a GOOD conductor!!
Phew... Sc can b very contradictory, rite?

So it finally falls back on2 which feature & how it wld serve the application well...
Feel Bro Mahihi wld hv more tech info on Insuflex's properties...how it is more inclined towards...
Ie as an insulator of heat or as a sound insulator...
Over2yu, Bro Mahihi...

apa dog u mau ? use ur dogs to wrap ur rims la...

Bro dares...

Mayb a combination of BOTH materials wld b Best?

Insuflex as an Insulator on the inside with Alu Foil as the Reflector on the outside?

Bro TitanRev, what do yu think?
Game 2b the "White Mouse" ?

lansi betul ni gorilla. . .
mau tanya pun kena tembak

and i almost accident twice
either brake takda makan or i sot zo sudden tekan accelerator suddent fly..haha

dilemma..

Works Engineering Drop in Air Filter or Soundproofing

soundproofing....

Haha, come me join TT u will learn. More.
Soundproofing.

nooo,the best is outside 1 layer of 10mm,then inside another 10mm also....the aluminium foil once the ca glue is applied on it,its cold...i duno y..

lols... u will change tyre mia meh ? i thought u say pakai sampai botak only change mia...

Just came back from a quickie midnite run with my dad's Wira

May i know u guys no need work ka? How many hours to sleep?

I cannot oh, sleep less than 7 hours/night will become zombie on next day...and i'm now become zombie adi...
