My 5min Air Intake Shield


Heres the story


Yesterday on my way home from work it was 95*F out.
I wanted to see what my IAT was when i was driving and sitting at these temps with just the rice pipe on.
So i plugged in my scan tool while driving home and took a look....

HOLY CRAP.... 135-145*F when sitting and right after i start to move.
And 115-125*F while moving down the road at 45-55MPH.

So i took some of this fancy bubble wrap that i got from the first NEBF i went to. (Yes im finally using some of it) and decided to rig up a quick heat shield around my filter.

OMFG what a HUGE!!! difference.

After i did it the temp had dropped to around 88*F out side.
So i went out driving again. While driving down the road it was staying around 92-94*F, Only 4-6*F warming then the temp. Thats very good for what it is
and now when im stopped it got up to 98-100 and when i took off it jumped to 110 at most and then Quickly went right below 100*F again and dropped back down o 92-94*F

So this should hold me over till i get my FWI







Here are some pics of it. No pretty BUT like i said... i Spent 5min on it and about 18" of Duct Tape

Cool beans

Should knock down that kr too

no KR with Stock pulley

But until i fix my exhaust leak the 2.55 is not going back on..



TJ.. Yup, yes it does

i totally need glasses. i read 5 mm intake. i was like " is this a lawn mower?"

you will fell it better when it get colder in the 65 degrees

Looks good Badnit..

Thanks for the bubble insulation Lash

ah so thats where that came from


THANK YOU LASH!!!

I try my best to hoard that stuff when it comes with frozen shipments at work. I never realized it was the same stuff people use on here for heat insulation until recently or i'd have a ton of it by now.

Start saving that stuff up then
