Home made intake heat shield..... now with pics!!

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hurdy:
Try putting some heat reflective tape on the lower side of the shield. It will help reduce the heat a little further.

You can tell I've been looking at options for this for a while :smiley:

Cheers Hurdy, some interesting options on that site, pricey though.

Would love some of that tape that jonny used on his but seen it on ebay and its expensive  :surprised:

How hot approx do you think the actual intake pipe gets? thinking of paint for this, most rate upto 500deg, this enough?

Hurdy:
The intake side is the cool side of the turbo and so shouldn't get too hot. If you are wanting to put a shield around the turbo as well, then you are looking at shielding radiated heat from a turbo that can run at very high temps on the hot exhaust side. I doubt that the radiated heat would be over 500 degrees C though. :smiley:

There are also some other options on the link below

Right, the shield is now made and fits a treat, only made it out of mild steel though, so thinking i need to get some stainless though, although i may well just double skin what i have then use some sort of heat reflecting material.

Pictures to follow

Thats my card mock up, but i wanted to extend it a bit and saw no reason not to so got to work and made it out of metal;
