Heat insulation for engine wires
Heat insulation for engine wires Do you guys think it would be a good idea to redo all my engine wires with this stuff? I have a top mount twin turbo setup on my car and it generates a lot of heat. BTW, I don't mean the spark plug wires.

Sorry you guys I guess I shold of been a little more specific. The wires I'm going to do is all the pcm wires that run in the engine bay (coil wires, injectors, ect.)

The problem is that anywhere under the hood with this setup is a hot spot lol. I'm just trying to find a way to protect the wires best. All the plastic loom melted.
I wrapped my main harness with header wrap insulation. I am a little over 100,000 miles now and did need to replace one coil harness around 60,000 because it was crunchy. I also have a button type eletric sensor that closes at 200F that is mounted high on my firewall that turns on my radiator fan if the underhood temp is over 200f, it comes on in the summer about 5 minutes after you park it and runs about a minute.
