I was wondering if anyone could confirm whether the RST actually suffers as much heatsoak from the charge carrier being strapped to the rocker cover as a lot of people actually think.

I have read somewhere that the air is forced through so quickly, it doesnt have a chance to heat up.

But then again, I have seen the XR3i inlet used to lower the temps.

Well, it does get hot...so i'd immagine it does get heated up a little more after the IC...

don't think its a major problem myself, not something im over concerned about

Are you certain the XR3i style inlet was used for this reason and not another ?

dont know boutt the heatsoak issues but , anyone suffer from heat sap on the starter motors ?/

i know i do

The air passes through the x-over pipe so fast it really makes very little difference, you certainly wont notice it. But i guess every little helps.

I use to have this problem and i put some heat wrap round it and its never done it again sins.

phil - where did you get it from , ??


was thinking of lagging the turbo downpipe??

Phil79

What would be another reason to use it then? Just for looks? Or does it have better flow charecteristics?

Phil79

Anyone?

After thinking hard about it, surely the inlet tracts closer to the throttle would get more air in?
