Is ceramic coating an exhaust worth it?
Funk Motorsport
by Ryan Brock
3y ago
Ceramic coating can be considered as space age technology which has been utilised in Formula 1 for years in an effort to reduce heat transfer around the exhaust and turbo systems. This has pushed away from traditional textiles based heat management, but could that be a process which is slowly being reversed? Ceramic coating is an irreversible process in which will electrically bond the ceramic particles to the exhaust system. This is achieved by using a special process using specialist equipment. As you can expect, this is a costly application, with prices ranging between £750-£2000 per exhaus ..read more

One of the most common causes of heat soak within your engine bay is, of course, your exhaust system. Here at Funk, we often get questions asking us how to overcome issues where the exhaust system runs close to sensitive components so we wanted to take a little time to talk through some of the more common issues that can be overcome using Funk Heat Management products. As we know, the exhaust system carries warm gases, which raises the temperature of the system itself. As it travels through the car it runs close to or even comes into contact with a variety of sensitive components such as fuel ..read more

Drifting: 9 heat management areas to consider
Funk Motorsport
by Ryan Brock
4y ago
As we know, unwanted heat can kill an engine’s reliability whilst also reducing a car’s performance. In reality, heat management in drifting is something that is often overlooked although vital to performance and reliability. The discipline of drifting is made up of high-intensity short burst runs, followed by shut down while waiting for results or wait to line up again for the next run. While stationary, without airflow through the ducts, there is nothing to keep the vital engine components protected. From this vulnerable position, it is soon time to turn the key and go again, unleashing unre ..read more

Why insulate your exhaust system?
Funk Motorsport
by Ryan Brock
4y ago
Exhaust systems and manifolds can be a work of art, but yet we see so many people taking the time to wrap them or cover them away. These intricate components can be one of the highest heat producers within the engine bay. But then why would you want to wrap it up and put a jacket on it? Why would you want to keep the heat contained inside, and not let it expel as it naturally would? That is something that there is more than one answer to, and something that we will be delving into a little further today. Most people think that wrapping can be harmful to the system, due to an excessive heat bui ..read more

Golden Reflection: The benefits of Gold Reflective Heat Tape.

We have been selling Gold Heat Tape for years, but why? What are the performance benefits of Gold heat wrap Despite Gold reflective bulkheads like you see in Formula 1 and NASA spacecraft looking cool, they have a very good reason why they are in this shade – and sadly no, Gold Heat Tape isn’t only for looks! Gold Airbox Heat, like light, can be reflected away. This type of heat is called “Radiant heat”, the type of heat that keeps the Earth (some may argue) warm from the sun’s rays, despite having millions of miles of a void vacuum between the two masses. This can also be said for heat l ..read more
