Hello all,

There was a thread about an engine warmer which I can't seem to find anymore.

Can someone point me in the right direction please (either to the thread or to the person/company that sells this).

Thanks a lot.

You are looking for the cold fusion / powerhouse performance thread. The forums have been cleaned up of any threads that became a consumer thread. You can ask questions or speak of your experiances of a product but any sales or sale related questions need to be pm to powerhouse directly.

If I'm not mistaken I recall hearing stories of guys using tire warmers (for TC) to pre-warm their heads. I doubt they work very well, you need heat in the case, not the head to properly warm up an engine. I have a $16 heat gun for applying monokote (RC plane covering) that allows me to get my engines up to ~160f before starting in just a couple minutes, much faster and hotter than a hair dryer. I only use it for break in.

I also saw those engine warmers being sold on ebay.

I bought one of the warmers from powerhouse and it works great. Get in touch with him on their thread.

Yes Mark from powerhouse has them on ebay as well. They are more expensive on there however becuase ebays fees have increased so much. Just shoot him a PM or go to his website www.powerhousercperformance.com and email him. They work great and are very convienient. Engines should be pre-heated not just during break-in but always! There is no point for using it just for break-in when mechanical pinch will exist long after the first gallon(granted its a decent motor). Pre-heating a motor will increase the life of any motor drastically.

So these things wrap around the engine or some thing do they, Also are they direct plug in to the wall for use or do they run off a battery, Just was wondering if they were designed to run on 110v or if they would handle 240V here in Australia, That's what comes out of our wall here....

Try a different wall..J/K I dont think they will handle 220, they are basically made for 110.. i would think the tin, nor the wires will hold up to that type of current..do you use the same style outlets as USA?

No we use different ones, I know how yours are tho i work on a rig that was made in the US and it has 110v outlets through out it. Would be good to have the option tho.

you would need a power supply and an outlet adapter

Any one got a pic of how these things look, I can picture a tire warmer looking thing that wraps around the block, Would this be right !!!!!

Getting power at the correct 110V would be easy with a few bits here and there just got me interested now......

Now that's funny right there.
Engine warmers do work great though.
