Here are some pics of the Homemade Heatshield that we constructed for my Vented Hood.

 

let's see the hood

thanks guys. i ordered the TVS carbon hood off impotparts.com. its not here yet though, ill post pics soon as i get it. i was just worried about getting water on my manifold, and had some sheet metal laying around. really didnt take us long to make it. took longer to clean it up with the dremel polishing kit

 

damn very sweet and clean lookin THanks for the pix.

 

looks good BUT the main purpose of the vented hood is to pull hot air away from the radiator.

 

I was going to say... that's going to trap a lot of VERY hot air from the turbo and manifold right between the engine and the radiator...

 

Well, the air rushing in from the front of the car should help keep the radiator cool but yeah, you might want to have some sort of hole in the shield to vent some of the heat. You might melt your dipstick, I've seen that happen on Greddy equipped cars.

 

thanks guys, im keeping an eye on it. the main reason i made it is not as a heat shield, but to keep water off the exhaust manifold. i havnt seen my hood yet but it looks like the bottom vent will be right over the turbo, and i dont want water hitting it and cracking it. i still have to cut the hole for the dipstick anyway, i just had to quit to go to work yesterday.

 

Good work Heff-ffaa!!!! Stop by on Wed. after 1130am.

 

 

hahaha, nice sig jack, your such a nerd

 

Got damn'd good try, but I think you need to devise a closer fit to the manifold in order to allow the hood you have coming to do its job...

 

check it out, dude......i got more post than you...hahaha.......just kidding......

 

thats cause you are a slacker and never work, while im pulling 12/7. so take that mister no helmet. tim wants to take the hyundai of fury to the track friday, you going?

 

oh dear....that is...uhm.....a big chunk of metal.

I'm guessing that your underhood temperatures will be worse with that thing in there and the vented hood, than a regular hood (or at least really close). At least before you had a larger volume of air (all though nearly motionless) surrounding things to absorb the heat. Now it still doesn't have much of a flow path but the volume is smaller!
