Best Pod Filter Heatshields?

[LatinR33]

The blitz looks like a sweet setup but been told they dont filter that well?? correct or incorrect??? so its comes already with the heatshield???

[LatinR33]

Also looks like you have cut some of it out to make some kind of hole. I guess i cant really compare cause you drive a supra. I love the apexi pod i want to keep the snorkel but i need a heatshield but still want to induction sound. Anyone know what will fit my application???

[TracidTrax]

well it seems to be doing the job latinr33, i used the proper K&N cleaning agent

some 1 had cut the hole to suit the intake on the Supra before i got it, doesnt do any good to me now cause the FMIC catches all the air

Im not sure if they sell the heatsheild and filter together but i bought this specifically for my car as it has the mountings for the air flow sensor

[LatinR33]

Well I have done some research and it appears the best material for heatshield is fibreglass,carbon fibre and high temp plastic. Any type of metal will attract heat and does not offer an effective type of heatshielding. It seems there are no heatshield products available that will allow me to use my apexi pod with my standard snorkel. I see some that are made out of aluminium but thats it. I was thinking the UAS box but then the snorkel is useless and the air I believe will be coming from the passenger headlight. anyone know of products which are good. any shops in sydney you know which do custom jobs.

^^^ mr_crust sells the heatsheild with a hole for the snorkles. However i think he makes them in aluminium, but if you ask him kindly enough im sure he can make you one out of fibreglass.

I have a aluminium one, and to be honest, theres not much difference. If you really are paranoid, buy some insulation and over it yourself. This will cost about 10bucks at bunnings or something??

Or, buy one from UAS.. Feed air thru the stock fmic pipiin under the pod, and feed air thru the front bar, by using some sort of duct type piping or pvc etc etc.

I second the Mr-crust shield. It looks hot. Uses the existing snorkel and is cheap.

I currently have a Carbon Fibre Heat Shield in production for my R34... once it's done I'll post some photos up and look at mass producing them

If I get a R33 and a R32 to draw up a template (takes 20minutes) I will also be looking at getting them done in CF

[LatinR33]

The Mr crust one is actually pretty nice looking. would be good and just get it ceramic coated. The only thing is that its all pop riveted what happens if you have to take it off or remove pod for cleaning or something would make things abit difficult.

Only the walls are riveted to each other. The mounts to to the engine bay and teh perspex lid are screws. To clean the pod all you have to do is remove two phillips head screws that hold the lid in place.

satanic- Keep us posted mate.. Keen to see how it turns out!! Btw how much do you think it will cost, once you start producing them?

[Trust33]

blitz supersonic works well for me

Where abouts did you get that style of pod filter,with the heat sheild from?

I was looking for one ages ago,but could never find one.

[LatinR33]

well would help if mr crust had stock but he has sold out.

Im going to use Maxx's box for the R33 & R34 on my series1 Stagea. They look very nice indeed.

Paint it black and it'll look stock. Almost.

Thing is its heavy duty aluminium, if you're worried about heatsoak then whack foam (or some form of heat insulation) all around it.

[LatinR33]

Yeh im thinking Maxx's also. Im trying to see who sells heat resistant paint black colour preferably.

[mr_crust]

Hi guys, i just found this thread, i dont have any current stock, but if you really want one, i can get one made up as a one off, at $120bux delievered anywhere in australia, overnight.

If you worried about heat, this box eliminates the heat much better then many others on the market. Most only have 2 walls to eliminate heat, this one has 3, also if you head to clark rubber u can get some rubber foam stuff and cover each of the inside walls in foam and that would work even better.

Also as for the price compared to all the ones i've seen no one has sold them cheaper and have had the same quality/detail

If your intrested PM me.
