As i was building my water cooled computer, it just dawned on me that no one has ever tried a water cooled exhaust manifold. I think this would drop the engine bay temp by a bunch numbers. And for those that use fiberglass wraps, this will the end of that. smile.gif

I was thinking maybe welding small bases on each exhaust manifold pipe and have liquid running to the radiator much like a computer cooler. I would love to see this for our 5sfe and 3sgte if its already out there!!

you want to keep heat IN the exhaust manifold.
heat and the rapid expansion of gasses is what spools the turbo.
the "fiberglass wrap" is actually used to keep heat in the exhaust manifold, not help cool it.
ceramic coating does the same thing. keeps heat in the exhaust manifold, which in turn lowers engine bay temps.
