tweetyduck Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 can any one tell me what temperature the intercooler hoses might get to? I've run some cables in that neck of the Engine bay and might tie wrap them to the hoses if they don't get too hot? I note there a rubber and metal sections so the metal sections will dissipate mre heat to something attached. (before you ask...its the winch cables. Rated only to 105C and now covered in flexy plastic conduit for good measure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Turbo outlet can probably see temperatures over 100c before the intercooler brings it back down again. How much of that heat will permeate into the hose i'm not sure. I wouldnt think cable tying anything to hoses is a good idea though. The ties will over time chafe the hose.

tweetyduck Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks. I would be carful where i put the ties and only on metal sections which is why i asked. I'll find a better route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 the power cables for my winch run along top face of left hand chassis rail not had any heat affect problems on them, just ensure the cables are secure & cannot touch the exhaust.

nickwilliams Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You could always put the cables inside a length of this. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetyduck Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 You could always put the cables inside a length of this. Nick. Already got some on the ends near the really hot stuff i.e. at the starter end. It goes to plastic corrugated split conduit once it leaves the bay. Mines not orange though and mines from VWP. Thanks for the pointer anyhow as that might be better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
