what would i make a custom heat shield out of? I moved the battery to the trunk, and turned the fuse box, and before i put the turbo in i wantted to make a custom heat shield. my other question is can i use the stock one if i turn it around or does it only work one way?

 

Aluminum is the best for quick heat soak and heat disipation.

 

no, copper.

or gold.

yes!! 24k heatsheilds coming to you soon from jbell!

:maniacal laughter:

 

i would think a metal with low thermal conductivity works best as a heat shield. aluminum would not be the best choice because it would soak the heat up and radiate it to whatever you are protecting. try stainless. although stainless will hold heat longer. maybe titanium?

 

I know gold is best but doubt i will be spending that much money lol, and does anyone know what the stock one is made out of?

 

steel

 

lol so far we have alum, copper, gold, stainless, titanium, and steel, this isnt' really helping lol I already know all the kinds of metal out there

 

uhm, jethot coat your manifold. no heatshield needed.
heatshields are... the lame.

 

don't you mean

teh lame.

 

What does jet hot cost?
