Anyone know where i can get a boxed in style heat shield that will incase the cone fully. Or has anyone ever made one? It's for a classic.

 

im looking for one aswel mate

 

A few more of us and it could be a group buy if a firm makes them????

 

yeah im after one aswel

 

ive been looking for one too

 

And me

 

Come on someone must know of or has made one. I have seen lots of pictures but never found someone/where that sells them.

 

im looking for one too. getting induction kit and fmic fitted on sat
what have ppl done about stopping rain water coming through the o/s bonnet vent onto filter? don't wanna block it as lots of heat escapes from it...
any1??...........

 

If its on the classic you really need to put the backing plate back on as it does not really let any heat out it just holds the hot air in and around the induction area. Plus you are more likely to have MAF problems if the plate is removed as water coming in and maf = problems.

 

BTTT so its not missed.

tbh you may as well make your own i did.

 

mine didnt come with a backing plate. Also after beeing on boost then stopping, there is a ton of heat [heat wave shimmer] coming out of the vent which makes me think its better all that heat escapes rather than keeping under the bonnet.

 

What would you rather have? a bit of heat or a fcuked engine due to a fcuked MAF due to no cover?

your call.

P.S I hope the other side is still fitted as well.

 

Yes and that heat is right were your IK is, pulling the rising hot air in - moving or not moving. This has been done to death on here, removing the covers makes things worse not better. Harvey Smith spent a lot of time on this using under bonnet tempo gauges etc and came to the conlusion removing the covers increases under bonnet temps...end of.

 

didn't someone who had removed there vent blanking have have problems with the water getting into the relay and fuse box causing problems with the injectors?

 

That was me, I bought the car without them fitted but decided they werent needed so never replaced them, over time the water dripping in through the vent damaged the relay (which is practically right underneath the vent) which then toasted two wires which went to the injectors which then led to the injectors stopping from working which then led to two melted pistons.

 

thought it was you, you just cant tell some people about these vents because they are covered they automatically assume that uncovering them will be a good thing.

 

Has anyone got the baseplate for drivers side bonnet vent that they would give/sell me??? Just had my fmic/ik fitted!! need one asap [due to weather!!!]
