Keep Radiant Heat at Bay with Funk Motorsport Heat Control Products

Radiant heat is the enemy of most everything under your hood. If it doesn’t outright cook components, it’s wasted energy that ought to be contained in your turbos or exhaust system to help make power.

Some of the best heat control products are made in the quiet town of Harlow, England by Funk Motorsport. They’ll keep that radiant heat at bay. Here are some of the Funk Motorsport products available at Summit Racing:

Turbo Heat Shields
A turbo is an absolute furnace in your engine bay. Excess heat produced by the turbo can potentially damage anything near it—electronics, fuel lines, coolant hose, and even body panels. Protect all that stuff from turbo heat with a Funk Motorsport Turbo Heat Shield. They feature thick internal insulation matting made from a ceramic silica that reduces radiated heat by almost 90 percent and can handle numerous heat cycles.

Insulating the hot side also keeps the heat inside the turbo. Since hotter exhaust gas accelerates faster, it leaves the turbo quicker. That reduces spool up time and improves throttle response. Wrapping your turbo also helps lower air intake temperatures and allows your engine to breathe easier.

Funk Motorsport Turbo Heat Shields are available in universal-fit styles for T25, T3, T4, and T6 turbos. They’re also available as direct-fits for select BMW, Honda, Ford, and Subaru turbocharged vehicles from 2002 and up. Summit Racing also carries heat shields for 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, and 65mm wastegates.

Sensor and Injector Heat Covers
Engine sensors and fuel injectors are designed to resist heat, but not always the amount of heat generated by high performance and racing engines. You can protect those sensitive components with Funk Motorsport Sensor and Injector Heat Covers. The covers are designed to wrap around a sensor or injector and secure with Velcro. The silver heat-reflective material can reflect up to 80 percent of radiant heat away from components and handle continuous temperatures up to 482 degrees F.

Funk Motorsport Sensor and Injector Heat Covers are available in packs of two, four, six, eight, or 10.

Gold Reflective Tape
Funk Motorsport Gold Reflective Tape can reflect up to 90 percent of radiant heat away from engine components like cold air intakes. For example, dropping intake temperatures by just 30 degrees F means more power-building oxygen to feed your engine. Gold Reflective Tape is also ideal for insulating fuel cells from exhaust heat and bulkheads to reflect engine heat away from the vehicle’s interior.

Funk Motorsport Gold Reflective Tape is made from a ceramic fiber weave topped with gold reflective foil that can handle continuous temperatures of up to 842 degrees F. It has an adhesive backing and can be easily cut and shaped to suit a wide range of applications. It’s available in 1.969-inch and .969-inch widths in various lengths.

Summit Racing also carries these Funk Motorsport heat control products:
• Exhaust wrap
• Heat sleeving
• Spark plug boot protectors
• Air intake tubing covers
• Starter and master cylinder protectors
