Reducing Heat
 
Hi Bros, I'm from KL, i am searching for a way to effectively reducing the heat of my Gear Box and Navigation Console due to high power generated through the rotary engine that goes through the exhaust system, but confusing on what to change, hope anyone here can provide me the exact way on doing so.:banghead:

First thing you may consider is to heat wrap your manifolds and exhaust system. These will reduce a lot of the heat. Also, you can place insulation to the body of the car that get close to the gearbox.

It's an extra feature for winter..... But here we can keep tapau chicken rice or milo warm..... hahhah

Put a big piece of heat shield above the gearbox will do....

I'm also thinking of installer a second atf cooler (is this the one right behind the right fog lamp position), noticed that my cup holder gets real hot after a slightly longer drive.

The heat comes from the cat.
