want to make up a heatsheild, just wondering what the best material is?

Has anyone used the heat sheild that supershit autos sells? It looks good, but would it just be the same as using some alloy plating?

Just going to copy the design of the stock sheild unless there are better ideas out there.

Mate best way to make a heat shield I've found . and looks absoloutely mint

Although ur missus might not thinks so

Roughly measure your turbine housing

Take a walk into your kitchen grab out ur stainless Steel saucepans

Find the one closest to the size u need try and not let the Misso see u hahahahah

Take it to ur shed an and cut it in half

( obviously using the side that doesn't have the handle on it ;-) )

Mark ur bolt holes drill to suit

And ur away :-)

hahaha that is f**king awesome, how well does the kitchen pot work?

Does it have to be stainless steel or do the "non-stick" teflon ones work too?

Might try find a clothes dryer too then.

Ideas like those two are great

acl heat sheild is what you want, your local repco can order it in

that's the stuff i saw at supercheap, so it actually works and isn't just a cheap supershit item? Well at $50 a sheet i wouldn't call it cheap.

It looks pretty pro anyway, have you used it and is it effective?

The wonky shape was intentional, the far left was taken out further to block any heat excaping out the gap and to give protection to the ABS wiring.

And its better than the beanie which cost $250 and didnt last.

middle pic is what is left of the beanie..

I have also used the ACL heatshield which took me about an hour to do.. I found an old pic of when i first finished it, has since been refined and dodgey piping removed :P

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
