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.
