CAI heat shield

[mosti]

I was checking the oil and sh*t like that today after i went for a drive down the street. Touch the filter and piping and it was on fire! I seriously need a heat shield box or something of the sought. Where can I get one made up in melbourne? If it wasn't for the RAM pipe sticking out the front I rekon my engine would be sucking in 110% hot air!

Already searched and found that thread =]
I'm not really a DIY person....was after something professionally made lol

Well, there's DIY and then there's DIY . If you're really not feeling up to it, then a maybe one of those flexible reflective tin-foil-type windscreen sun-shields from your local auto shop will do. Fit it around your pod, chop off the excess with a pair of scissors and secure with double sided tape! Voila! One heat shield.

RPW did make one, but they don't last too long, especially in Aussie heat.

I don't know if were talking bout making a box or making a shield for the box but y dosent any one powercoat there box would work a hell of a lot better then adding another shield

Heatshield/box same type of sh*t.
Atm it's just piping > pod filter > RAM intake pipe from bumper to pod

Need a heat shield/box to keep the temp lower around the pod

[mosti]

Any ideas on how I can keep the shape if I use one of those sun shield things?
Like, how do I get it to stay in the shape of a box around the pod?

Idk if I'm making any sense

Double sided tape for the win make sure where you stick it to the engine bay is clean first. Then stick it to itself where you fold it.... Give it a go, it'll be easier than you think!

[mosti]

OKay so I made one. Looks so friggen ugly though lol. Ahwell it will do the job. The rest of my engine bay is much anyway.
