heatshield for POD filter

[cobo_11]

Just wondering what other people have used for their heat shields/partition for a POD filter.

I have some new 1-2mm gal, but just want to know what would be best.

Cheers.

try this web site for all info that you need : www.uniqueautosports.com.au. im currently fabricating a partition for my pod filter. get youre aluminium backed foam from your nearest clark rubber store and brackets from bunnings for half the cost of buying the kit! now thats what i call cheap horsepower!!!

Attached is a pic of my partition, made out of the metal backed foam, and topped with 'armourflex' pipe insulation.

Just used a manila folder to work out how it needed to be cut, then traced it onto the foam. It is a tight enough fit that it didnt need any brackets to hold it into place.

total cost was around $25 with enough foam to make 2 partitions.

cheap effective....and a very cool custom way to do it. Way to go..

[Steve]

And now I have a box, well a partition with a lid, made out of aluminium, got it custom made for about $150

Pic attached.

I only have a couple of photos at the moment, not huge detail.

If you pm me your e-mail I will send you what I have. My car isnt here at the moment, but I will try and track down a digi camera and get some closeups when it gets home:)

I should be able to do something about it now...

this would make for an interesting project for the holidays....

What have the cops said about such a partition or box???

[Guest RedLineGTR]

"heres a yellow sticker"

hehehe

it depends on the cop.

What about running a cold air pipe from the bumper into the box or do you just leave the filter partitioned with no air running to it ??

[mazman]

does any1 know where to get these thin aluminium sheets and the chrome looking insulation that you glue/stick on the alloy sheet?

anywhere close to parra/blacktown/seven hills area?

cheers

revolution race gear have chromish heat sheild tape available!! thwey are in auburn so not far from parra

mazman: you can get it from any foam and rubber shop. I've got the same set up (home made) as RedLineGTR, it cost me $4 and works great.

If you dont have a cold air feed, it would probably rob you of power.

BOOSTD had back to dynos before and after and gained power by removing his partition.

With a cold air feed, different story altogether. Improved throttle response - best way to describe is on a hot day, the throttle response is more like it is first thing in the morning - if that makes sense?

Once you have a front mount, it frees up a nice hole to make the feed.

Clark Rubber stores in victoria have it.

I have just scored a peice of stainless steel about 2mm thick

so i will be trying to make one up on the weekend.

I might go get some heat sheild to stick on the inside.

I will give it a bash and post some pics.

[mazman]

ok,cheers guys

ill try clark rubber or revolution racegear for the heat shield.

now just to find alloy sheets

I had a partican and lid with a cold air feed. Mick from Tilbrooks said any boxes with less than a 4 inch feed are useless!! "I said no way dude" So we gutted my box and the the car made an extra 10rwkw !!! hehe opps
