DIY heatshield...

[anion]

duno where is the old topic went...so i just repost to share with u guys about my DIY heatshield just completed today.....

i took some plannings on cardboard before transfer the actual measurements to the paper and lastly draw it on aluminium sheets and cut + rivets them to shape....and lastly insulate it with superlon i had....

pics :

what do u guys think ? more to improve ? will it work well ?

Dude,
Just want to ask a noob question... if make Heatshield, no need to do CAI kah ??
Pls excuse me if the question sounds lame.... soli :ph34r:

 

[anion]

haiya....sure got CAI la...i havent install this heatshield yet...complete it n put aside while waiting to do CAI before use this heatshield....

errr one more noob question, where can i get superlon ? hardware shop got ka ? what words should i tell them...i assume they dunno superlon

or...this superlon is the same material use as aircond pipe wrap ? but the wrap usually just like pipe in shape..not piece by piece like that

ermm...u seems like more advance than others that only use zink/aluminium heat shield un-protected with insulator..congrats

p/s: that heatshield not cover the whole air filter la dude...the heat from engine bay may enter the heat shield via the uncovered part

u can ask stanley abou the superlon...i got it from him....easy enuf n doesnt cost a bomb....

btw....the bonnet of my car will cover the top part of the heatshield as i also had superlon up my bonnet....so my bonnet acts like a cover too....

i hope it will do its job at its best after i install it....mabby can improve it later on by making a new one....or extend it to be longer :P

 

[flamefox850]

yeah...make new one and make sure cover all part and make a hole for CAI pipe. aaa make sure the pipe is big enough

good stuff anion!

good enuf la, guess the hot air won't really mix much with the air at your air filter area much now...

but with a CAI, it's a good combination. and i think it would be ideal, looks abit stuck for new air to come in...

but difference matters... any differences so far?

 

[tykoh]

Now you dont hv CAI pipe ah? so engine are sucking limited air loh... better find a good spot to lead the cold air in....
well done anion.... i really like your design....
wat is ur ride? really got a lot of space to put ur filter ah....

 

[canken2]

[anion]

thanks everyone.....

i havent use this heatshield yet....coz still waiting to get the CAI done....so i completed the heatshield , test fit it , took it out and put aside....

well....the onli hole on the fender side which will be the air inlet is at the point where the tip of the air filter is pointing.....can c from pic 2....see a bunch of wrapped wire ? thats the hole there.....

tykoh...my ride ar ? check my sig....its a charade aura.....dat space is for the airbox wan.....changed to open pod dats y got space....
