Tornado Red ED30 - Winter update: Brakes/tyres/Home made valved exhaust

<< < (7/17) > >>

Finally got the trim from Eygpt so I have been able to finish my heatsheild/ airbox

I covered the underside of the downpipe heatsheild with tin foil and stuck it on with high temp silicone, hopefully this will reflect the heat as much as possible (I hope!)





And here it is fitted to the car 



I put the rest of the trim onto the airbox this evening and fitted the rest of the system.





And here is the finished product!

Before;



After;



Must admit I am pretty happy with the outcome saying I started with bits of cardboard and didn't really know what I was doing!

Feedback would be great!

Cheers

Very neat job. Have you logged the IAT before and after ?

ed30sam123:
No unfortunately not, I didn't think to to be honest, I just got carried away with the fabrication! I am sure there will be a small difference in temp but I cant see the work I have done making a huge difference. Painting it black wont have helped keeping the temp down but it definitely pleases the eye!

Cheers

It's probably more of a benefit in the summer through slow traffic, where it should prevent some of the hot air being drawn into the intake. Still looks lush though  :happy2:

Can see intake temp on the Polafis, ;)
