Dyno Tuning Brisbane | Turbochargers May Add Heat To Engine Bay

EFI Performance - Dyno Tuning Brisbane - Turbocharging And Heat

The biggest thing when doing a turbo conversion is obviously controlling the additional heat generated by the turbocharger from affecting other components in the engine bay.

As an example, we may actually take ignition coils off the top of the engine because we know we are going to have a heat containing issue in the engine bay of the car. So, we sometimes mount the ignition system on the other side of the firewall, away from the engine bay heat.  We then run the ignition leads through the firewall, and back out to the engine bay.

We also move the wiring to be nice and well away from the heat so we don't have a lot of reliability issues later on when the car is driving down the highway, on the race track, or while being dyno tuned.
