I'm hoping that Honda has a current model Civic that has this liner, I'd like to have it and then fasten a thermal shield to it, so that there's a thermal and air barrier between my hood and the turbo. Wrapping the turbo isn't what I want to do.

Anyone have any Honda parts links?

Thanks in advance,

Update: I think this piece is what I'm looking for, but not very large, I'll keep searching.

May I ask why? Im fairly certain they didnt put that liner in the R because they wanted heat out not to keep heat in. The type Rs hood is aluminum because its got a higher heat transfer then steel. Plus its lighter. So that uninsulated aluminum hood dissipates heat off the engine faster then steel. I would think putting a liner in would be counter productive.

Hi Harlaquin,
My thinking isn't using the standard underhood quilt by itself but fastening some type of thermal barrier to that existing part. Given Honda's poor track record on paint (and the rumored class action lawsuit-and personal experience) I'm thinking of exercising preventative maintenance. I'm planning on keeping this car for quite a while and would like to hedge my bets in favor of keeping as much turbo heat (without wrapper) off of the hood.
I'm all for protecting the paint as I know from past experience Honda won't stand by the paint if the clear coat peels 1 day after the 3/36 warranty expires.
This may go nowhere but I'm a new owner and in my mind an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so to speak.

I'd put a ceramic coating on if you are really worried about your paint rather than increase your underhood temps. In the long run, the mechanical parts are much more expensive to replace than a quality respray. Living in Orlando, your paint is much more likely to get damaged by rock chips, the sun, bird poop, dead bugs, and inconsiderate people in parking lots than it is from heat from the turbo.

My thoughts on paint and turbo that is right beneath the hood instead of down by the exhaust manifold...
Well Ceramic protects the paint from without -which is normally the best you could do to protect the finish, short of a complete wrap.
I am thinking of protecting the paint from within-the heat radiating off that turbo isn't redirected in any way.
I guarantee you that paint was not baked on the hood in ambient temps like what is boiling off that turbo...
I'm finding that decent thermal barrier is quite expensive and is only sold in bulk lengths.....So I'll keep looking.
It may be completely unnecessary - given that the car is so new damage may take a long time to show up.
