Funk Motorsport IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and tuners seeking advanced turbo heat management for IHI IS38 turbochargers. Designed with a focus on performance and reliability, this turbo blanket helps protect critical engine bay components, supports turbocharger efficiency, and offers a practical solution for those upgrading or maintaining high-output vehicles equipped with the IHI IS38 turbo.

How the IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbine housing of the IHI IS38 turbo, effectively containing extreme heat generated during boost. By minimising heat soak into the engine bay, it helps preserve the performance of nearby components, reduces the risk of heat-related failures, and supports more consistent turbo operation. The blanket’s four-layer construction is engineered to provide up to three times more thermal protection compared to typical alternatives, making it a strong choice for demanding applications.

Typical Use Cases and Application Scenarios

The Funk Motorsport IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket is ideal for:

  • Owners of vehicles equipped with the IHI IS38 turbocharger seeking improved heat management
  • Track-day and motorsport builds where thermal control is critical
  • Street performance vehicles running higher boost or upgraded turbos
  • Anyone looking to protect wiring, hoses, and plastics from turbo heat exposure

This product is especially useful in engine bays with limited space, where excess heat can quickly affect surrounding components and reduce reliability.

Key Benefits of the Funk Motorsport IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket

  • Helps reduce engine bay temperatures and heat soak
  • Supports turbocharger efficiency by retaining heat within the turbine housing
  • Protects sensitive components, wiring, and hoses from radiant heat
  • Allows for routine turbo maintenance thanks to a removable design
  • Available in premium Titanium and Carbon Fibre finishes to suit your build

Construction and Material Details

The IHI IS38 Turbo Blanket features Funk Motorsport’s signature four-layer construction, designed for enhanced thermal insulation and durability. The choice of Titanium or Carbon Fibre finishes offers both functional and aesthetic options for different build requirements. This blanket is engineered to withstand the intense temperatures produced by the IS38 turbo, making it suitable for both road and motorsport use.

Installation and Usage Guidance

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbocharger components, but professional fitting is recommended for optimal results and safety. The blanket’s removable design allows access for routine turbo inspections and maintenance without the need to replace the heat shield. Ensure the blanket is securely fastened and clear of moving parts during installation.
