96066, Star turbokit HeatShield
Posted by rhui, Jul-06-06 07:39 PM
My engine bay temps are getting too high for my liking...

Does anyone know of a turbo heatshield that will fit and clear the hood?

My ceramic coating on the t3/t4 doesn't seem to be enough.

I think HadesOmega has some kind of sheild, it comes from some old Isuzu or something and just happens to fit over the Star T3/T4. I've seen a few other members with it too.

I am in the process of making one as we speak that is stainless steel. Oh and the ebay ones are $79 with $10 shipping, so your looking at about $90. Mine in the end should not cost me any more than $50. I will post up picks when I am finished.

This is something i've thought about buying for a while. The ebay one from Vitto says they can etch a companys logo in it with 20 ordered. That would be a sweet group buy idea if we could get the 2gnt logo etched into it, or the diamond star. How soon will yours be finished and will you be selling any? I'm in the market for one so let me know, thanks.

Stainless sheetmetal. Just for ideas, this was a custom job.

good to know im not the only one in need of one...

I guess a generic t3/t4 heatshield should fit and clear our hood/radiator right?
