Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield

Hey, just bolted up my ATR43G3 .82 yesterday but my compressor housing is actually touching the exhaust manifold heat shield so I was wondering if it's ok to remove the heat shield and leave it off in order to give it clearance?

Or should I just leave it on as it is and not worry about the two touching?

Cheers.

Ahh ok then, but they're using an aftermarket manifold I assume?

I'm still running the stock manifold and wasn't sure if there would be too much heat being radiated if I removed it or if it would damage the turbo itself with the direct contact of the heatshield if I left it one.

What about if I trim the part of the heatshield that is touching? So only a small section of the exhaust manifold is exposed from where I trimmed it?

yeah just trim it or, have you tried hitting it with a hammer to make clearance, worked for me

No dramas mate, I'll try using a hammer but if that doesn't work, I'll trim it :)

As Arthur T3 said, just ding it in a bit if you can so its not touching.

How did the intake go, did it all line up ok? When is the tune?

Hey Scott, the intake is going excellent so far and as far as lining it all up, it MIGHT be too long so I'm gonna cut around 10mm off the AFM end.

Why "might"? Because the guys who installed it for me were dodgy as hell and instead of making sure everything fits nicely, they instead jammed everything in place, distorting all my silicon joiners. They more or less FORCED everything to fit and as such, even my catch can which is in the vicinity doesn't even sit right anymore :down:

So now I'm going to have to spend all day tomorrow pulling everything apart so I can have peace of mind knowing it's all fitted properly.

But anyway, the tune is on Monday so when I get the car back, I'll definetly post results up and I'll def post pics of the intake pipe up :thumbsup:

But until then, to anyone who's reading, if you're after a custom intake pipe, hit Scott up as the work he does is EXCELLENT and if I ever needed another pipe, I'd be going to him :thumbsup::D

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
