Pod Filter despite warm air

[BrianC]

Yeah thats what i was thinking, sealing it off seems like a better idea then just a shield. Seems to be some conflicting opinions about whether thats necesary though. Ill probably just leave it stock for now. Ive been reading some posts from people that believe its faster with the stock box anyway?

i think i should send u my heat shield picture to c is it crappy or wat ... lolz
by the way, the heat shield box is to prevent the pod to sux in those hot air from engine and radiator and intercooler, ya, its ture the heat from engine and raditor will still heat up the metal shield, but if u have enough cold air goes in to the heat shield box, that will be no problem ... when the cold air goes ito the heatshield box, it goes straight in to the pod, the shield dun have enough time to heat the fresh air from outside ~

i m usimng 0.8mm aluminium board to make this shield, it's tough enough ( u can try 1mm, but its gonna be a bit hard to band it) and also u can use silicon to seal the edge of the shield will be perfect. i m planning to get some thing have heat resistance to cover the box (real carbon fiber sticker will be good) ... but hard to find ... hope my friend can get me some from hong kong

I see. Thats pretty interesting jun. You reckon u can take some pics of your heat shield set up for me? I'd really appreciate it. No rush, just whenever you can

Cheers

Here you can see in the bottem left corner
the pod is covered by a box and closes shut with the bonnet to create the seal
this is my temp setup untill i get a proper tuned length
I made the box out of fiberglass its moulded to the shape of the guard and then painted it black

y dun u just get the $25 pod filter, keep ur oem piping and just chuck the filter on. find out urself. for $25 to know the answer thats not that bad at all i reckon. the air in the engine bay is hot, but in winter while u r driving the air comes in from outside circulating within the engine bay actually lower the heat temperature within it. its not as hot as u think when the car is moving. its a totally different thing in summer tho. normally in summer i just put back the oem box filter.
