CF hood with turbo?
Hey so i am turboing my civic with a small t25 turbo and i am worried about the heat messing up my carbon fiber hood....i know i can get a heatshield made but i dont want that...it hough about dynamat but i dont really know how effective that will be...any ideas?

shouldnt really be a problem, but you can always buy a sheet of sticky heat shield (like a heat protective sticker [;ike dynamat but specifically for heat]) that you could put on the underside of the hood, above the turbo/manifold
(I plan on doing this too...just because Im paranoid)

i have a c/f hood on my z6 that runs 20+psi and i have never had an issue with heat messing it up. Then again mine is vented as well though.

My bro has an EK that he drags. (Boostedjeff). Hes always had a CF hood on there and never had any probs. And trust me, his turbo def creates some serious heat.

Re: (Everyones Hero)
I have a VIS hood and after a few years it has a dip in the hood right above the turbo/ valve cover area (it's a big dip), I am tunning a t3/t04b. I have a new hood ready to go on and when I put it on I am going to put the sticy heat sheild material on the hood to protect it a little better this time. The heat sheilding material is cheap realitive to a new hood so why not.
