Induction heat shield, Where can I get one?
Bonjour to you all. I've read, digested and pondered alot over the past few days with regards to wheather or not I should fit an Induction kit to my Preface lift Import WRX. I've decided I'm gonna go for it. I want to fit a FMIC and love the roar of the induction kit, too badly to miss out.
To help protect the MAF, I've been advised to get myself a Heat shield for the Induction kit. Now I've seen a few home made jobbies, which to be fair do the job. But, they're not the best looking bits of kit. Does anyone know of a company of someone who makes a proffessional looking shield.
I'm after a shield that covers the sides as well as the top, so with ducting i can get maxium cold air around the cone.
If I can't buy one I'll make one I guess. Anyone got any good photos of a completed version?
Any ideas?

Harvey's item is very good. If youre after the bling factor, then you can use aluminium for the inside and carbon for the outside with a rubber edging strip. Also have a look at "pickle"'s P1. Has a very tasty heat shield. If you cant find him here go to the projects thread on p1woc.

You can make your own heat divider fairly easily and it will work well providing you use the right materials. I use a sheet of carbon fibre but because it is not a good heat barrier I clad it with a reflective heat mat on the side facing the engine. I would not use metal or aluminium as they are good heat conductors.
With a large sheet of cardboard you can make a template to run along the chassis rail from the drivers side suspension strut turret to the very front of the car between the radiator and headlight. Once the template is perfected I cut a sheet of carbon fibre and make holes in it to accomodate the inlet tract and any boost pipes. Removing the carbon canister makes the job easier. The divider is held in place by a single 'L' shaped bracket and when I am happy with the fit I then add a layer of insulated heat mat.
If someone is prepared to put the photographs on here I can send them several shots to show what is required and how to increase the cold air to the segregated filter area.
The top has a strip of door seal rubber and this helps to sit flush with the bonnet but a tight seal is not required.

As a result, I'll have to look at an uprated IC to compensate, but if I could I would go for a cold-air kit to help protect the engine.
