Heatshields!!

[vtc]

Show me your heatshields! for an EK preferably.. Ive got a Simota intake and just wondering what people have made as heatshields. Just some ideas before i head into bunnings!

Common Guys.. post your pics!

[Choongas]

mine's kinda dodgy but i got some special foam material from clark rubbers and made a box out of it.. seems to do the job :)

[vtc]

Take a picture and show me please! Dodgy is what im after! haha.. i just want to know the similar shape i need to cut out and where to drill the holes etc... as dodgy as i am i'd prob just use a thick plastic and just cut that! haha flexible and easy to tie on.. AND light weight! RICE!

bodgy brothers incorporated man hahaha I am very keen on images as well please

If you dont care about looks - and only care about shielding your pod from heat.... how is it rice?

Haha thats one impressive heat shield, may as well extend it around under the exhaust and replace the firewall with it.

heatshield looks coolll!! like it, but dunno what it exactly does, ahahahaa

[Baopham]

i tell u what it does.. it sheilds ur filter from the hot air... hahahaha

[Phantasm]

hence the "heat" "shield" as it is so aptly named.

[Surrufus]

here was my OLD heat shield on my eg.

it was good but not as good as a JDM EG6 SIR stock box/intake setup ;)

[vtc]

That looks prefessionally done.. very nice.. is it all one piece? Its given me an idea though.. have the wall.. and the roof of the shield two seperate pieces.. im sure that would make it easier to make.. not as much precise measuring needed..

More pics!

by the sounds of this thread not many ppl actually have one... and by changing your airfilter setup fore more air to incress power, is pointless when all it is doing is sucking in hot air from the engine..

get an ARC intake box : ) they rock

lol -you fool!

....heat shields protect your filter from radiant heat, not hot air as stated somewhere above. This is neccasary bc of the very high contact between your air filter and the air going into your engine.

[**Ghost**]

hahaa its true, they rock...
it sounds good... but now its filter replacement time... 240 bucks for 2 peices of kitchen foam
