Hello,

I'm finally looking at doing some mods to my car - but since the smallest things are difficult for me (im not a mechie) I thought I'd try some heatshielding.

Does anyone know which bits are the best to heatshield? I know some are not good to heatshield as you don't want the heat to stay IN as much as you want it to dissipate.

Any ideas/setups/photos and general info would be greatly appreciated :D

Generaly one would heat shealid somthing that needs to be protected from heat and not go willie nillie with a sheet of metal.

suggestions:

1.Brake fluid reservouir or anything that holds fluid and dosent tolerate heat.

You should also try cold air ducting its a noobs job and its effective.

hey, i would say heatshield your airfilter or pod, if u dont have a stock airbox. Very easy to do and is a good idea :D

1st and 2nd photos r of the shield, last is the air filter without the sheild on

hope that helps :D

if u do get extractors heat sheild them by using an exhaust wrap, it is best to keep the heat in the exhaust bits. Good for exhaust flow and good to keep underbonnet temperature down. Do not heat sheild the stock manifold or stock dump, cast iron does not like to be wrapped and may crack. If u do get an aftermarket dump and front pipe also wrap these up. Wraping up some of the intercooler pipe may also be a good idea. U don't want the warm/hot ambient under bonnet temp to heat up the air inside the pipe for obvious reasons.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
