Does anybody have one so i can get it copied and made in carbon

Steve

 

Somebody must have one

Steve

 

if you make it out of carbon resin composite it will no longer be a suitable heat shield as it is flammable

 

The VESTED one will make it, im sure he is a idea on what to do

Steve

 

the McLaren f1 uses 24 carrot gold leaf to prevent the carbon catching fire

 

If its good enough for that then its good enough for the 4i

I need a damper thing for my inlet Mr Moancock

Steve

 

Diy fitting is always the problem I don't try and drive your fookin train do i

 

I've got some heatshield material left over from making my turbo heatshield if you want that Steve?

I'm making a support bracket for my plenum at the moment Steve, do you want me to make another for yours?

 

That and the alt heatshield please Gary

I will call you tomorrow

Steve

 

Why do you want it carbon steve?

 

Sweet as mate!

 

It was just a silly thought lol

I just need a heastshield but thought about being a tart lol

Steve

 

I just fitted a ford heat shield to my alternator, is a silver cover looks plastic but obviously must be made of something heat resistant. I just had to fit longer bolts on the alternator to attach it. For the life of me I can't remember what it was off but if anyone knows it would save making something up.

 

4x4 cosworth and escort cosworth have an alternator heat shield as standard it is likely that you have used that one if yours is a ford item daz
we used to fit them to all our 2 wd cars with longer bolts
What you actually want steve is a ducted intake on the back of the alternator as the air is drawn in through the back of the alternator
proper cars made by the japs have them as std

 

It was on the list of things to do you gave me.

Steve

 

Here's the one on mine (not the best pic! )

 

You must have too much money steve

Tony take some more off him

 

Audi have a heatshield that fits on the back of the Cossie alternator also has a pipe that goes to the front bumper for cooling. Have used it on mine for 12+ years now.

 

double post

 

What model is it off Rod ?

Steve

 

I think the grp A cars ran them but simple enough to mod a 4x4 one to do the same

 

Hi mate , do you have any photo's of the heatshield you made for the turbo? Also where did you get the stuff as i need to re cover mine as it looks a mess . Thanks

 

Not sure but can ask my Audi fanatic friend who put me on to it.
The 4x4 one is not suitable really if you want to do it properly. Before i fitted mine the alternator lasted less than 3 months & i just replaced it.
You have to use the longer studs in the Audi alternator case to get it to fit but it is the solution.

 

That would be great Rod

Thanks

Steve

 

Here you go mate









I got it from Merlin Motorsport, I think it's called Nimbus G12 or something.

 

Thamks mate ,that looks spot on .
