Re: Max engine bay temperature (sdinteg)
lets say the exhaust system(manifold, catback, muffler)?
i used the honda bond, but thats a silicone glue, i want a welding compund that withstands extreme heat!

well what are you using it on? what are you welding on to the manifold/exhaust system? lol dont skimp on the details because you're embarassed incase you're doing something abnormal.
A welding compound that withstands extreme heat? well the manifold is cast iron...so i mean ....people dont USUALLY weld that. But you could TIG/MIG it. The catback and muffler are either mild steel or stainless steel. If you weld them together....the weld will probably withstand more heat than the actual part. Again, MIG/TIG it.

I have seen exhaust manifold reach up to 2,000 , thats for turbo applications though.

No big deal. Steel wont melt till 2800 degrees. It will get cherry hot around 1800 degrees. I've gotten my stock D16Z6 manifold cherried and my stock B16A manifold cherry just from road racing. But those were iron...with a lower "cherry" point. My SR20DET S13 and my friend's Miata cherried the manifold, the turbo, the downpipe as far down as we could see it, and the downpipe bolts lol. The only thing left still black was the really really high carbon bolts around the exhaust side of the turbo. Roadracing is so rad.
that's my story.
It's hard to melt iron or steel. So welding should do the OP just fine. I dont know what you mean by "high temp welding compound".

haha yeah, been there done that. My bro tried to fix a crack in the manifold on his D16Z6 w/ JB Weld, that burned right off.
A normal stock exhaust manifold sees temps in the 800-900 deg. range, I think, at least on the inside. I don't think the outside gets quite that hot. The surrounding air doesn't get that hot if the stock heat shield is in place.
If you're asking about using something like JB Weld just anywhere in the engine bay, in the vicinity of the exhaust but not directly on it, then I would think JB Weld could work okay.
