Darkside Exhaust Manifold Blanket for BMW 6 Cylinder N57 / N57N

Darkside Exhaust Manifold Blanket for BMW 6 Cylinder N57 / N57N

Darkside x Funk Motorsport Heat Protection Blanket for BMW 3.0 Diesel N57 / N57N 6 Cylinder Cast Manifold We have joined forces with Funk Motorsport to create a range of unique Exhaust Manifold Blankets for the Single Turbo 3.0 Diesel BMW Engines. Exhaust Manifold Blankets (Or Manifold Jackets) are designed to keep the heat contained within the Exhaust Manifold, whilst reducing the overall temperature under the bonnet. The Exhaust Manifold will help to decrease turbo spool up time by keeping the gases inside hot. A hotter gas flows quicker and will actually exit through your wrapped exhaust faster! With the unique design of a turbo, the hot portion is in close proximity to the area in which you would like to keep cool (the compressor housing). By wrapping the exhaust manifold, this improves the efficiency and actually helps to lower the intake temperature allowing your engine to breathe easier. A Cooler surrounding area will actually help to decrease engine bay temperatures and make all of the surrounding components more reliable, this is without forgetting the induction cooling benefits that are vital on all road cars and motorsport applications. Specifically developed thread construction to allow for exceptional durability when removal is necessary for routine turbo / manifold maintenance. Our new fireproof ultra-high temperature Stainless Steel thread is around 1mm in diameter and can now remain highly durable with temperatures in excess of 1300°C.

New, thicker internal heat lagging insulation to provide up to 3x improved heat reduction. This insulation wool is created from a ceramic silica complex matting to improve durability over prolonged heat cycles, as well as insulation quantities.

4-layer construction for improved reliability

Uprated external Carbon Fibre twill and Titanium twill for an improved aesthetic and more durable finish.

ROHS tested and approved to ensure compliance and desired parameters are reached within our material selection.

PERFORMANCE

Our manifold jackets work to insulate the exhaust manifold and retain the heat within the exhaust gases themselves. Hotter gases accelerate faster leading to them leaving the system sooner improving spool up and throttle response. Insulating the hot side of your turbo also helps to lower the amount of heat from the turbo that dissipates into the engine bay and intake pipework. A cooler intake results in higher performance and more consistent power figures over time.

PROTECTION

The turbo / exhaust manifold setup is an absolute furnace within the engine bay. Excess heat produced by the turbo and manifold can cause devastation to surrounding sensitive components. Protect anything from oil lines, coolant lines and even bodywork positioned close to the turbo from the dangers of excess heat.

RELIABILITY

Reducing the overall temperature of the engine bay will improve the reliability of electronics, and also help improve the temperature of coolant, fuel and oil lines. From a reliability standpoint, the benefits of a heat protection blanket are endless.
