Heat Shield For N/A

907mge · 05-16-2010, 08:03 PM

This is the second and more improved heat shield I made to keep the hot engine bay air away from the k&n air intake I have Installed. It is made of aluminum sheet metal, zip ties and rubber hose. The afm is attached to it so the air flows through the shield. It allowed me to remove the braces for the afm since the shield fits so well. And as far as result go it seems to be making a big difference. Just on feel of the air temp I can notice a difference after a drive.

I used posterboard to get a good shape of how to cut the metal sheet. The first one I made wasn't very close at the top(hood) so I used playdough to make the second one to get a closer fit. Put the playdough on top of the first shield and then closed the hood.It worked good to show the gap. It all just takes a little thinking and playing along with a dremel, drill, and tin snips. It seems to be a pretty good fit now.

I used aluminum sheet. You could use steel but it will be much heavier and harder to cut and drill.
