cashpoint Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hybrids don't generate much more heat than std turbos. All you really need to take advantage of them is either a SMIC in good condition or a FMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I am about to buy some hybrids for my car build, and was wondering what I can use/do to help dissipate some of the heat. turbo blanket - what is this? vented bonnet What else? i have had hybrids for 3 years, and I've only just had a vented bonnet put on... so i dont think its that crucial that you have to do it. Turbo Blankets, little jackets that sit on the turbos, pretty sure it cant be done to stock/hybrid turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 So nothing major to worry about then... New fmic is going on to the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 another question around hybrids... can I have a screamer pipe on my car with hybrids...?? or is it for singles only?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 screamer pipes are part of the wastegates so you will need a manifold that has external wastegates (bigger single turbos tend to have these) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 ok... does someone have a picture? Is it possible to have it done on hybrids? Is there a downside? Is it very expensive to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Darrel Payne's old car which was sold to Boneyard/Dale and now to Peter1064 ran hybrids in TTC with an external wastegate. He sold the set up to someone on here or MSOC.co.uk i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 It sounds like its going to be expensive to change it on hybrids. However the set that I have bought is a complete UK set, with manifold and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
