Intake heat shield

[Kosovobandit]

Not sure this will really work but it is interesting. Thought I would share.

Wouldn't work on my intake.

I'm sure it will help a little bit. As said in the thread on SVTP, any cooler IATs will be a benefit. Throw in E85 and your motor will be an ice box (not really).

The price is supposedly under $100, so I'm at least going to try it when it comes out next month, as that is the current release time frame.

Jeff, can you not just unhook your nozzles and trim holes in the shield to slip over?

[Kosovobandit]

I am thinking of trying it, but wanted to pass this on to everyone on this board.

[Dan12GT]

Very interesting! Too bad I don't have a boss manifold.

[Dan12GT]

nevermind just noticed there is supposed to be one for standard manifolds as well.

[Rebelracer568]

Very interesting. I maybe trying this out on my car.

[Oxford14Stang]

Sounds like something to try.

[Pepperinyoureye]

I'll try it

[46Tbird]

Snake oil!

[re-rx7]

I can see it helping a little bit.

[Pepperinyoureye]

I would like to see some more independent testing done as well.

I'm sure SVTP and some other people like Lethal, Latemodel, or AM will do something.

After seeing this, I ordered heatshield hp mat from auto anything, $46 shipped and enough to wrap the bottom of my stock intake manifold and my airraid box. It looks to be the same material heatshield is using just uncut. I don't want to spend money on a dyno but I will be using an infrared thermometer to measure the intake temp before and after the wrap and will post up the info regardless of results. Should be shipping out Monday so hopefully next week I can get it done.

I'll definitely be getting this, Makes too much sense not to invest in it.

eh im not sold.
Too many variables in that review. Seems they give a false sense of hope and big power gains to an otherwise stock/mild bolt on car.

Ive tested with my aeroforce and while temps slowly rise while at rest as they would with or without this heatshield, my IAT's once moving are always within +/- 2 degrees of ambient.

I usually use gold reflect tape to keep heat off things. Im in the process of doing my intake heat shield.

I'm interested to see your results. Keep us updated.

Looks like the kit is available and should be shipping soon.

Sorry the link is to BBR, but I just copied the link provided on SVTP.

Attempted to install today by removing my airaid box first to wrap. Found out quickly that the hp shield will not stick for shit to plastic. I ended up giving up and reinstalled without the shield. Maybe the precut piece has some kind of special adhesive that will stick to the plastic.

We just learned from Steve at BBR that the precut pieces come with special adhesive tape to keep it from doing exactly what happened to you.

Ha, good to know for the future
