Here is the much anticipated PDF template. Instructions are on the pdf. For it to work you need to print it from adobe acrobat (free reader on adobe's site) so that it tiles properly.

damians_intake_heat_sheild_template.pdf

and here is a flash 3d animation of what it looks like after construction:



heat shield animation

 

AWESOME! im making mine as we speak

 

Damn dude, you really go all out with this stuff huh? I was expecting a photo of a cardboard template all crushed up on the ground while you use a point-n-shoot to take the pic with you feet in it and everything

Nice Job!

 

hey, i remembered you talking about a back plate for the shield in another post...so i qiuickly threw one together and photoshopped in the holes that im goin to cut for the intake tubes. is this what you're talkin about?? tell me what you think....i trust your opinion whatever it maybe, i dont know anythin about air flow and such

dang...it wont post, ill try again in a sec

 

damian, you rock

you should also make a template for the stock airbox mod, lots of guys are running that...

 

thanks.man

 

cool, cant wait to see it...

 

hmm, interesting idea, that would be what...a sheid that connect to the bottom of the stock box?

 

no problemo, hope it helps

 

Thanks man.

 

Thanks Damian! You really went above and beyond with the template and the animation. I'm going to start working on my next weekend and your template will be a huge help. Excellent work.

 

thats to kind of u dude...

how abt making us the 99 spec template...?

 

damian, yeah, and it scoops air up from the gap between the radiator and throws it into the airbox hole (that you have to do yourself)

 

thanks chaz, I'll try to get some other install pics up too so that you guys know when its properly seated in there

 

i dont have a 99 spec car to work with, or I would ... hehehe :-)

 

so do you mean one that would work with the stock airbox?

 

damiam, thanks for doing all of this for us. i have already made mine and installed it and it fit perfect!! now i am just waiting for my filters to arrive and i am done! i just have to say thanks again...i was giong to get the pettit intake and you saved me $300.

 

Throw this little gem into the archive!!! nice job damian

 

i would like to second that

 

ahh man, that is great, I was waiting to hear from someone to see how the template worked, soo glad to hear it all fit well...saved some $$ too

what did you use to attach the 2 parts, rivets like i did ?

 

thanks ShortBusRiot
and JhnRx7

... the forum community has given a ton of help to me, im just trying to balance my debt to it :-)

 

i did not have rivits so i just drilled 4 holes and used nuts and bolts...worked great. i am still looking for that black edging stuff...home depot did not have it.

 

>>i did not have rivits so i just drilled 4 holes and used nuts and bolts...worked great.

yep, thats a good way to do it too

>>i am still looking for that black edging stuff...home depot did not have it.

I got mine from checker auto, it had glue inside it so it sticks really well...

 

Good job man. I might go out and rig one up. My friend has some CF and epoxy, so we might be able to make a CF one too.

 

hey can we make this a sticky?
