as above looking for some advise of what heatshields yous are using and whats available for a 3 door

a friend of mine has recently had issues when driving his 3 door on boost the paint on the bonnet is bubbling up above the turbo which is a t34 as hes only running a standard 2wd heatshield

wondering if anybody else has had similar issues as painted the bonnet again but done the exact same again . so now going to go down the route of heat wraping the exhaust and heat deflector on under side of bonnet but just really wanting to see if anybody else had similar problems and what heatshield do they now use to cure this but hes not wanting to go for a 4x4 saff / escort cossie heatshield .

cheers

 

anybody ?????

got a very good bling heat shield mate.. cover's over the exhaust as well

 

Same as that ^^^^ for me

 

I just got the std 2wd one, cut out for the strut brace, no melted paint on mine(yet).
You can get specific turbo heat wraps so this might be a good idea ?, along with heat wrapping downpipe.

Use a standard 2wd one as well ,cut for strut brace,running about 450 bhp and no heat issues with the paint,and gets a hard time

cheeRS stu

 

Never seen a bonnet bubble on a cossie from the heat, weird!

maybe the turbo's getting hotter than usual?

 

I've a spec R one, anyone fitted a lambda and still retained the heatshield? Its just it looks like its going to be a tight fit!!

 

ive fitted standard 2wd with strut brace cut

but there is cracks in paint on bonnet above turbo from previous owners ive never sorted out

get the muffler from a 4x4 bonnet and cut that area out

 

I used some heat reflective stuff from James Listers, had no problems at all with heat from the turbo so far

 

Do a circular cut out in the heathsheild just above the boss for the sensor.. and screw the sensor in over the heatsheild if that makes sense.

 

he does new design now gives more room at the back and side. call him you will get 10% off fdor being PF member

 

hope iv got the new one

 

You never see the bubbles on my saff bonnet?

Oh hold on that was the fire in the dizzy area that did that

 

yes mate they have been in production for a year now

 

thats good news then
