not to long ago someone posted a pic of there engine bay where they had some sort of insulating tap on there stock air box. been looking for the pic for a while and no luck. wanted to see what was used and ask op if it helps

im sure someone will find it in 2mins while i found nothing searchin all day

 

Do you mean the gold stuff on the bottom of this nascar??

Heat Foil

 

This is where I found it

bsrproducts.com

 

Does the gold make a difference?.. about how much is needed to cover stock airbox

 

Here's my box. It's all wrapped with insulating aluminum film on the inside and also outside, but only in places not visible:

 

if you are thinking about doing this I am going to shoot you paul

 

where was that insulated foil purchased ? i was told insulation material was to keep heat in vs keep heat out . well thats what the lowes associate said. any insite to if this diy mod does help keep heat out ?

 

hell yeah

 

2nd law of thermodynamics states that heat transfers from hot to cold. Hence why ice cubes melt at room temperature. Any type of insulation applied to the box will help reduce inside temperatures.

Heat Transfer = [(Area)/(Resistance)][Temp. Difference]

So basically the greater the Resistance the lower the Heat Transfer.

 

well i feel dumber now
