Funk Motorsport IHI VF37 Turbo Blanket – Targeted Turbo Heat Management

Purpose-Built Turbo Blanket for IHI VF37 Applications

The Funk Motorsport IHI VF37 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to control engine bay heat on builds running the IHI VF37 turbocharger. This blanket is designed for those who demand reliable thermal management in high-performance, track, or tuned road vehicles where heat exposure can threaten both performance and component longevity.

How the Funk Motorsport IHI VF37 Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially under sustained boost or motorsport conditions. The VF37-specific turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing, helping to contain radiant heat and reduce its transfer into the engine bay. This containment supports lower intake temperatures, protects sensitive wiring and hoses, and helps maintain consistent turbo efficiency—critical for both reliability and performance.

Practical Use Cases for the IHI VF37 Turbo Blanket

This product is ideal for:

• Track day and motorsport builds using the IHI VF37 turbo
• Road cars with upgraded or high-boost VF37 setups
• Engine bays with limited space or vulnerable components near the turbo
• Owners seeking to reduce heat soak and protect intake, wiring, or hoses

By targeting the unique fitment of the VF37, this blanket offers a tailored solution where universal turbo blankets may fall short in coverage or fit.

Key Benefits for VF37 Turbo Owners

• Helps reduce engine bay heat exposure and risk of heat-related component failure
• Supports more stable intake air temperatures for improved engine response
• Designed for straightforward removal and refitting during turbo maintenance
• Available in Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out finishes to suit build style and thermal priorities
• Purpose-built for IHI VF37 fitment—no guesswork or compromise

Construction and Finish Options

The Funk Motorsport IHI VF37 Turbo Blanket features a multi-layer construction, engineered to offer robust thermal insulation for demanding environments. Available finishes include:

• Titanium: Classic motorsport look, high heat resistance
• Carbon Fibre: Premium aesthetic, lightweight, durable
