Engine: T5/R cone air filter heat shield

[rabbitwoman1977]

I fitted a k&n cone filter to my 1997 V70R in dec and it pulled well,now ive noticed with all the hot weather it is not pulling so good,i was told this may be because of the cone filter sucking in so much hot air..can i buy a heat shield or has anyone made one?
any help would be grateful
thanks

Probably your cheapest and best option is to speak to a metal fabricator/welder/blacksmith. Show them what you need, and they will more than likely be able to make one up from a single piece of aluminium or stainless steel sheet.

You can buy them (I think BSR do one for the V70), but you pay for it... I just tried the website but there seems to be a problem if you go and try look at the filters section...

Best of luck!

ive got the BSR cone filter on my 850R with a BSR heatshield, personally i think a car will run better with the standard airbox unless your running big BHP and/or like the turbo chatter

i must admit the BSR heatshield does look very fiddly to replica but im no metal worker lol if you were closer id lend you my heatshield for someone to use it as a template. most i can help with is getting you some pictures???????

I did this



but do have a bit more room then most the BSR optiflow is a good item with a heatsheild around it

How the hell are you going to get 13.5cu/ft per second of air through that biscuit tin? (assuming running 2 bar @ 7,000 rpm) Where does the intake come from?

What a ridiculous solution. . .

Probably works OK on the dyno with the bonnet up....

can you not see the pipes coming in from underneath?

Any other threads you want to belittle, nuisance? You don't rate a cone filter and/or heatshield setup. You jumped in similar on the "any thoughts on a decent air filter thread" as well. We get the picture.

Now for those of us that want to discuss this, why not just leave us be, unless you can be a bit more constructive?

si at fusion fabrications look on the net you send him what you want he will make it ......simple as ........or mellnie engineering bognor regis can make most shiney things to go under the bonnet.......

i have a mate a cryo serv im trying to make a liquid nitrogen unit that chills the air flow in to the turbo supply or air in take its on the drawing board..... just got to make it smaller.......to fit under the bonnet.....bit like air con but for the air filter
