can somone help
where can i get a heat sheild for my induction kit? coz im havin trouble keepin the intake temp down as my filter sits at the back of the engine bay.i have a cold air feed this helps a bit but i think i need a heat sheild.!!!!!!

Was chatting to my sisters boyfriend about this last night

He gets the same problem on his MGF, and is currently working on a GRP mould which will surround the filter and have a flexi pipe attached as the cold air feed.

This should reduce the risk of warm air being sucked in

cheers stu keep me posted on that

Will do fella

Might try and drag him down one night, he has a HUGE selection of vents, scoops, skirts, spoilers etc...

<b>I think this would have to be custom made or adapt something else to do the Job

nice one scoobster will do

I had the same problem with my rover! and went to extreme lengths to try and get rid of it!!! I moved my battery all the wat to the boot then re routed the air filter to where the battery was! ready to make a big surround with a few cold air feeds!!! coz thats what an engine loves! but crashed it before I made the surround! lol! im gonna do the same in the next coz I have all the setup ready! u can see what it looked like in my mods section! and here is a pic of it moved over!

I don't like the cone shaped open filter at all. They provide little or no cold air to the engine. The only advantage over panel filters is they're louder, but the panel is closed away in an airbox.

Have you thought about getting a piece of aluminium and shaping it around the filter?

Rob, it'll have to be custom made - I can get some for the Escort for about £8, Checkout the Punto owners club to see if they can help
