Heat sheilding??

[RICE RACING]

The stuff you are looking at is pretty ghetto IMHO, used only by back yard builders & FORD lol It's made by ACL, and it is pretty ghetto. YOu can buy it at all the abo spare parts shops.

A classy proper solution is simply to go to a metal shop and buy some SS304L sheet, you can ****, shape, form it into anything you require and then weld it if needed. It looks a million bucks and also will last perfectly on a turbo rotary application. I use SS sheet on my car and also made a SS sheet heat shield for the dump pipe as well, SS is an excellent natural insulator and when polished is a great reflector as well, that other Alloy sandwich crap is just that, crap

Its only a personal view of mine and I can tell you mine performs perfectly, its however costly for an OEM that is why you wont see it especially on mass made falcoons and the like, all of the decent cars like Ferrari and so on will use formed SS sheet for heat shielding purposes.

For stealth look that alloy sandwich crap may be better as I have seen it painted black here, its very popular in southern states where people are 2 buck cunts and use cheap shit in their builds............. I saw a Ford SUV with bigger turbo install and had a horse cock manifold to much larger turbo and it was all "kind of" hidden under that crap painted black, your typical stupid police man would obviously pick it but feel pitty seeing its so ghetto would probably let you off in sympathy

I agree SS shielding is the best ideally. There are alot of products that would reduce radiant heat though such as DEI header wrap. But that would only do any good on the manifold piping itself. If your idea is to enclose and divde the turbo system from the rest of the engine - custom shielding will be your best route.

Also, there are places like turblown that make lower intake heat shields/blankets for 2nd and 3rd gens. Never used one of their shields personally, but they make quality stuff.
