Best Material For Turbo Heat Sheild?

[erik]

want to make up a heatsheild, just wondering what the best material is?

Has anyone used the heat sheild that supershit autos sells? It looks good, but would it just be the same as using some alloy plating?

Just going to copy the design of the stock sheild unless there are better ideas out there.

If you snoop around,,,older clothes dryers have stainless steel tubs which are great for making heatshields.

Mate best way to make a heat shield I've found . and looks absoloutely mint

Although ur missus might not thinks so

Roughly measure your turbine housing

Take a walk into your kitchen grab out ur stainless Steel saucepans

Find the one closest to the size u need try and not let the Misso see u hahahahah

Take it to ur shed an and cut it in half

( obviously using the side that doesn't have the handle on it ;-) )

Mark ur bolt holes drill to suit

And ur away :-)

hahaha that is f**king awesome, how well does the kitchen pot work?

Does it have to be stainless steel or do the "non-stick" teflon ones work too?

Might try find a clothes dryer too then.

Ideas like those two are great

that's the stuff i saw at supercheap, so it actually works and isn't just a cheap supershit item? Well at $50 a sheet i wouldn't call it cheap.

It looks pretty pro anyway, have you used it and is it effective?

[mr 32]

yes it works, easy to use, forms to almost any shape

its also factory fitted to all ford turbo 6 motors

[erik]

sweet, have you got it on your skyline? Pics?

This took me 2 hrs with beer breaks, my expensive turbo beanie fell apart in 3 months, material cost $56 at super cheap, so far so good.

[erik]

worth the $56? Might give that a go, will prolly cut it and overlap so the curve is a bit smoother

[The Bogan]

The wonky shape was intentional, the far left was taken out further to block any heat excaping out the gap and to give protection to the ABS wiring.

And its better than the beanie which cost $250 and didnt last.

[erik]

is the middle pic the beanie or the heatsheild?

[Aggroman]

middle pic is what is left of the beanie..

I have also used the ACL heatshield which took me about an hour to do.. I found an old pic of when i first finished it, has since been refined and dodgey piping removed

What inlet manifold is that David not a common Type we see ,

[Risking]

RB25DE neo inlet. Pretty common.

[chuckie]

RB25DE neo inlet. Pretty common.

Not what i seen on many cars ,

& not what Neo NA i have seen

what`s the advanage of having that setup ??

[Risking]

There isn't and advantage it's just the way Nissan designed the throttle arrangement.

Every R34 NA RB25 I've ever seen has been that way.....

[Hanaldo]

Yeh that's the Neo 25DE intake... If you have seen any Neo 25DE's without that intake then it wasn't stock.
