Rb20det Clutched August 22, 2003 Share August 22, 2003 Have a lot material in the market. I personally use 3 material. 1. Bitumen 2. Insufflex ~> cheap & good 3. Dynamat at engine base ~> a bit ex but good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 22, 2003 Author Share August 22, 2003 My insulflex's at the bonnet... care to explain more in detail about the 'dynamat at engine base'? or is it 'engine bay'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolaba 1st Gear August 22, 2003 Share August 22, 2003 There is another material which is cheaper and desner than Insuflex. It is called Armaflex. Available at North East Refrigeration in Ubi. Few of my friends have been using it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 23, 2003 Author Share August 23, 2003 Is it more durable than insulflex? i have experiences with aeroflex, which tears easier than insulflex. They claim to have something that is in sheet form and very flexible. Can be a possible replacement for bitumen, accumat, dynamat etc. This is the one i'm interested to find out.

Koolaba 1st Gear August 23, 2003 Share August 23, 2003 Yes Armaflex is definitely more durable than Insuflex due to its higher density. If u stay or work near Ubi, pay a visit to North East Refrigeration and take a look at the material Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 23, 2003 Author Share August 23, 2003 Cheers. I think I'll try that material if i intend to DIY by boot. Imagine, Insulfex on the bonnet, Aerofoam on the floorpan and Armaflex on the boot. Now, what other brands should I try and are there any other places I can DIY?

Koolaba 1st Gear August 24, 2003 Share August 24, 2003 Armaflex is cheaper than Insuflex. $9-10 for the 9mm thick sheet. Maybe you can consider laying bitumen sheet on the metal before layering with Armaflex. Contact Maverick713 who is active in SLCC forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiming 1st Gear August 24, 2003 Share August 24, 2003 How about the Superlon brand from Asiatic Refrigeration? I read that it is cheaper than Armaflex and is open cell at 1 side for better noise absorption. Can find out more about it at http://www.asiaticgroup.com.sg/group/asiat...ell_tubing.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb20det Clutched August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 My insulflex's at the bonnet... care to explain more in detail about the 'dynamat at engine base'? or is it 'engine bay'? Bros, Typo error lah ... give chance lah ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Author Share August 26, 2003 didn't mean to rub it on you. Just wonder that you might have some new possible locations to DIY to reduce sound and/or heat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb20det Clutched August 28, 2003 Share August 28, 2003 Actually my mech ask me to remove engine and paste around the engine bay, but I worry my RB26 later then I lagi jialat. That why, just paste what ever area that my hand can access. Internal all fully touch up, 1st layer is the bitumen from maverick, 2nd is insuflex. Coming weekend I will take out the rim and paste at fender ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 28, 2003 Author Share August 28, 2003 Removing the engine is a bit too much, but i won't mind pasting bitumen on the firewall on the engine bay side. But, it looks like it is easier to access from the undercarriage. The problem is (a) no jack (b)neck-breaking and © not to mention, probably back-breaking too. So, did you use the discontinued 3mm bitumen internally? Keep us posted on the effect after soundproofing your fender, yah? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
