my custom heat sheild - pictures galore :-)
for those who are interested, here are pics of the heat sheild i fabricated for my new k&n air filter setup
i did not make a back wall because i have the ram air ducting pushing fresh air in and will eventually do the engine ducting in the rear fender walls, so a back wall on the sheild would inhibit the flow feedback is welcome http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild1.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild2.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild3.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild4.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild5.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild6.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild7.jpg http://www.myrx7.com/images/damian_heatsheild8.jpg |
by the way, the pictures for the ram air ducting are here:

Damn, Damian is a pic posting machine today! Which is great, since I'm probably ditching my M2 intake to make something like this (need to make the ASP Medium IC sit a little more to the passenger side than the M2 box will allow). Thanks Damian.

good job

That would be sweet if you could give us all of the info to make our own.

Very nice, looks much better than the one I have on now. Now if only I knew what I was doing with metal.
|
sweet. Is the rubber stuff hosing you cut a slit in which you put around the metal to protect it from cutting stuff up? I should have done that for mines. Good idea dude
|
Great job Damian. You did really nice work and it ended up looking very professional.

wow that looks awesome and looks like alot of thought and planning went into it. How long did it take you to make, designing and building, cause I need to make one of those.
|
Awsome man. Good job!
|
Impressive setup. Quick question about heat sheilds though. Can't the warm air from the engine still heat the intake pipes, downplaying the affect of the heat sheild at the filters?

Originally posted by Elegant Black Monster Very nice, looks much better than the one I have on now. Now if only I knew what I was doing with metal. but seriously, its really easy to make the actual sheild, not easy to make the template...the most time I put in was making the template out of cardboard and trying over and over (and over) and over again to make a good shape with the right bends. but if you have a good template, then all you need is sheetmetal and sheet metal cutters, then a few strips of that door gaurd protection stuff for teh endges to make it look nice and not cut anything |
Originally posted by Shinobi-X Impressive setup. Quick question about heat sheilds though. Can't the warm air from the engine still heat the intake pipes, downplaying the affect of the heat sheild at the filters? but my goal was to allow fresh air to get to the air filters (accomplished with ram air ducting from second oil cooler space) and keep the very hot radiator air from blowing right on the filters (accomplished by heat sheild)...so for me it met its goals....and as a side effect, having it pull in cold air will keep the pipes cooler than they would normaly be, i hope, who knows hehehe |

Originally posted by damian seems that could happen with any airintake setup that has metal intake pipes.... i dont know of any intake system that keeps ur pipes from gettin hot :-) but my goal was to allow fresh air to get to the air filters (accomplished with ram air ducting from second oil cooler space) and keep the very hot radiator air from blowing right on the filters (accomplished by heat sheild)...so for me it met its goals....and as a side effect, having it pull in cold air will keep the pipes cooler than they would normaly be, i hope, who knows hehehe |
Looks nice! Any observable intake temp drops.
|
dunno, still snow on the ground so its not coming out of the garage yet :-)

damn man that's clean~ i was thinkin about making one myself, but i just planned on buying one of those earthquake emergency aluminum blanket and wrapping it with that =X hahah! but man nice job i give you a 9.5
