VR6 air filter heat shield

Recommended Posts

Just fitted a filter and want to complete the look and keep as much hot air out of it as pos. Seen many referneces to them and a thread last year about someone making one for G60s but I cant see anything for the VRs, Anyone got any ideas?

keep the standard air box mate and just drill some holes in the bottom and the right hand side so that it only draws in air from the cooler areas of the engine bay!

 

this with a green or k&n panel filter will be just as good if not better than an induction kit with a heat shield! imo, as your drawing mainly cooler air.

 

also then if you wanted on a vr, relocate the carbon canister and that leaves a big hole for some ducting to get some proper cold air into the engine!

 

heat shields are better than nothing but hot air just goes round the sides! an air box gives a complete seal and only draws in air from the holes youve drilled!

 

many people probably have their own solutions but i think this has to be one of the best, but of course i could be wrong?
