I was playing around with an infrared camera at work today and took these shots of the car after a 15min drive.
It's pretty cool to see what's hot and where. Tough to get a good picture of engine bay. there is no zoom on camera i think but I'm going to try it again when I figure out the settings and go for a longer drive.

 

pretty damn cool!!!

 

veryy cool, turbo manifold is firey hot

 

Very good tool. To pin-point/Verify were its already know- heat prone spots. Can take a few more at intake manifold(specifically intake runners ) and fuel rail area.
-At Idle
-Cruise
-And (3)WOT

 

Where else on the internet would I find cool **** like this? Thanks for posting

 

Pretty awesome. Especially seeing how hot the oil cooler is actually getting from the pic of the front of the car.

 

never thought of doing this lol. pretty sweet. these are pretty awesome pieces of equipment. i dont know if harris electric co is nationwide but i was playing with one of these things in their store where im from. i was on a job picking up some 10-2 wire for a stove plug and seen it sitting there. im guessing they sell them to electricians to check for hot spots and such... but the possibilities are endless as you just proved. i might have to check out the price on one.

heres a cool idea. you should take the camera with you for a drive, get up to about 80 mph and hammer the brakes to the point of almost locking the car up and take a pic of the rotors to see how hot they get. that would be interesting to see as well.

 

indeed that is pretty cool

 

Wow, awesome idea. Thanks for the contribution!

 

Once you find out how much these go for let me know. I could use something like this also.

 

Thats pretty sweet

 

Those FLIR cameras are no joke, that sh*t is expensive.

 

awesome!

 

Epic!

 

everyone who said "thats cool".... pun not intended?
