r32 pod filter heat shield?

[overboostedlebaron]

hey does anyone have the schematics to make a sheet metal or aluminum heat shield? i cant find anything on it

[frankiman]

schematic to make something custom ?!

just get a thin (1/16) sheet of aluminum, bend, cut, drill, fit, think, you will be happy with your work

yeah just make it, it's not that hard.

make sure when you make it that you take a thick peice off foam that will seal the hot air from the engine bay getting to the pod filter. i think if they are made wrong that it can suck in just as much hot air through the top by the hood

I think I'm gonna go back to the OEm airbox with an aftermarket panel filter and see how it compares.
My car performs noticeably different when evrything gets heat soaked in there on a hot day.
I know the FMIC will make a big difference, but I'm sure suckin all that hot air can't be great. It still suprises me how hot these cars get under the hood.
I worked on my wifes Mazda 3 and my car on the same day (oil change, changed headlight bulbs, etc..) and the wifes car was immensely cooler after about the same amount of driving.
Just opening the hood on the Skyline damn near burns your hands....

exposed turbo.



What I did is wrap my downpipe with DEI wraps, ceramic wrapped the turbine housing on the GT3071R and the engine bay temp dropped significantly.

Mike you have any photos of the wrapped items?

Panel filter + airbox is better when hood is down. HP result at wheels with airbox is usually alot higher than podfilter when bonnets down (there's a dynochart on internet somewhere showing this difference). Also on my car, felt like more hp down low (at least thats what I noticed). I only changed to podfilter, due to airbox clipping points failed and couldn't hold 2x pieces of airbox together (common problem) and podfilter was cheaper. If I could fix airbox, would refit airbox to car.

With podfilter, boost can rise 0.1bar, 8rwkw x 1.341 = 10.728rwhp with bonnet up, so that's the benefit of a podfilter.
