I've spent ages on the net trying to find a heat shield to isolate my induction kit from the hot air in the engine bay but so far no joy!! Im after the type which has a hole for the inlet/induction pipe to go through and it basically looks like a sheet of metal, sorry for not having a name for it . Any help would be much appreciated

Harvey can supply them. He uses carbon fibre with heat shielding stuck to one side.

No m8.....the part Rob is referring to above fits vertically adjacent to the wing to separate the induction kit from the hot engine bay area.....correct me if I'm wrong Rob....any pics of your "old" scooby with it fitted Rob?

Quotes from Harvey from the above posted thread


"The divider is made of carbon fibre but as that is not a heat insulator it is clad with heat mat. The initial shape of the divider was derived from a blank piece of cardboard before the C.F. was cut.
The divider sits along the chasis rail and is very close to the bonnet underside. A rubber trim strip helps to reduce the gap.
To be successful it is necessary to increase cold air flow to the filter area from the front of the car. Remove the bonnet rubber above the driver head light. You can cut a gap between the radiator/FMIC and below the headlight. Enlarge the inner wing holes to the original snorkle/air box. Duct from the wedge. I use a brake air duct in front of the wheel, below the indicators which forces air into the inner wing area."
Harvey.




"Use a sheet of cardboard to make an exact template before you cur the C.F. With care you can get a close fit to the filter/MAF (if you have one) /bonnet etc."




"IPALMER : Do not wrap the pipe from the turbo compressor to the intercooler. It is the "hot pipe" and is above the surrounding air temperature. Wrap the pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body. It is full of cold air and wants to stay that way.
Wrapping the turbo exhaust side will make an immediate big difference."
