Pod Filter Heat Shield/box

[Taso84]

Hi guys,

Looking to purchase/ make up a heat shield for my POD but just wanted to see what other pples experiences are:

I know Just Jap sell them for ~ $250 and theres some on ebay for ~ $100 but was wondering where ppl have purchased theres from and what they're experiences have been.

Also wondering, if i were to custom make one, what material would prob be best as a heat insulator.

I was thinking plastic would be best with aluminium foil (facing outwards) pasted on (or between 2 layers of plastic) to reflect the heat.

Cheers

Taso

Hi Taso,

I got one of these, it has pictures half way down the page:

The group buy is not running anymore, however i think there are still some guys out there who make them.

The above one works a treat, super cheap and gets the job done.

hope that helps.

i like the carbon fibre ones from just jap, a tad pricey, but i love carbon fibre

if thats too much just get a normal plastic one from ebay like u said, ive seen them for like $70

pretty sure Ashneel is still sellin some from the group buy. shoot him a PM. GB price was only 50bucks from memory so they pretty cheap.

u could try to make yr own from aluminium... i just started this arvo making a sheild (not the whole box) and the sheet of alum is 20bucks with half left over.

Yeah but aluminium transfers a lot of heat, so it's not really best. I used aluminium for mine because I had some lying around, and it does look good. Unfortunately, ponies before chromies, and with a simple thermometer setup I discovered I want to scrap it and custom make one from fibreglass. A good cold air intake would probably fix it but I have issues with cutting my bonnet, as it'll look ricey, despite having real purpose. Cold air from down low to the road would be a lot hotter.

Buy 1 x 90 degree bend of silicon hose

2 inches of three in pipe

3 x 3 inch hose clamps

- Open up the factory hole a little wider under the air filter

- connect the 3 inch silicon hose to air flow meter and shove the other end in the hole

- then insert the bit of 3 inch pipe into the silicon hose

- put the pod filter on the other side of the pipe, do up hose clamps

Bobs your uncle, the air filter in the bumper bar, the coldest air box you'll ever get!

I've had this set up in my skyline for 3 years now, works like a charm, i noticed the difference straight away, it was consistently responsive, if you have half a brain water will not be a problem, just don't go through any massive puddles

Keep the factory inner guard covers installed

I made mine out of aluminium, works a treat

Line the inside of the aluminium with Styrofoam, since noone can see it

Good thinking 99! Styrofoam might deteriorate a bit too quickly but I do have heaps of high density packing foam at work, might try that one. As a bonus it might muffle some of the intake noise too. I'll thermo check it and let you know how it goes
