Heat Shield

Noticed some heat shield in latest Repco cattledog. Has anybody used this? Have put a high mount on the Neo and want to protect the bonnet duco and especially the clear coat.

I have heatshield above my highmount under the bonnet and also between the exhaust and the abs and piping on the firewall.

Is it the ACL heatshield?

Just checked the catalogue.

Payen brand so no idea but heatshielding is pretty worthwhile. Even 6mm sheet ally works very well and that is cheap as chips but might not be as easy to form as some of the dedicated heatshield material.

Had you done much heat shielding wolverine? I'm thinking about adding a layer over the standard heat shields on the turbo and manifold, but also welding in some 10mm threaded pipe on the dump to wrap and bolt it down over the top.

Hi Tom

I have played around with sheet ally and ACL heat shield. It always seems worthwhile but probably not much of a measurable performance gain, more a case of keeping heat away from rubber pipes and there is the benefit of less heat on the intake piping and plenum.

There are some pics in my FS thread if you want to the more overt stuff.

I have made a small heat shield to fit over the back end of the exhaust manifold, to protect the O2 sensor wiring and the rubber hose plumbing. Used 2mm Al sheet with spacers in between

looks very cool! no pun intended. Yes I am looking at trying to block a little heat from spreading to other areas of the engine bay, and as you said the intake and J pipe. After all, nissan had shielding over the whole dump as standard.

Would you mind posting some photos hugh? Interested to see what you have done.
