Carbon coilpack cover group buy

[UrS4boy]

One question please: It's good for the coils? They don't heat too much? I have for some years ago and much expensive than here. And I'm affraid for the heat.

Aluminum alloy is great heat conductor. Carbon fibre is a great heat insulator. Overlaying carbon fibre over aluminum will decrease the ability of the aluminum to bleed off heat. As much as I like the look, I don't think the overlays are a functional improvement. (Sorry)

Don't need it, but **** me for this price i can't let it pass me by...

i used in my cars, for more than 70000kms, without any coil problem. the other 120-150 buyers had no any bad feedback about overheating. i keep in touch approx 40-50 people, who bought the coil cover, nobody had problem, so i can say, this is not the part what will kill the coils. the best thing, if you keep your coils uncovered, but not so important.

Thanks Aron!

But on the other hand black radiates heat much better than silver!

Seriously though... would a black anodised alloy heatsink attached above the carbon cover (using longer bolts in the OE positions) improve things and negate any effect of the carbon wanting to retain some heat ?

Sure if its black anodized metal, not if it is a natural insulator.

I guess it depends how thick the carbon is.. In the experiment we did at school we had two tin cans, one was bright metal the other we painted with black paint. The 2 cans were filled with boiling water and a graph of temperature against time was plotted for both. The black painted can cooled at least twice as fast as the shiney tin one. (IIRC, it was in like 1967 )

Any plans for make plates round radiator?

Posting to Belgium ?

Hello,

Youcan also count me in if a postage to Belgium is not too expensive.

Thanks
