Turbo Heat Shield

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Retention & deflection of high temperatures from the turbo will aid engine performance. This is especially true near heat-soak prone parts such as an Intercooler. Keeping intake air cool is critical to performance capabilities.

STEP 1

I created a template system of the final product from cardboard as a test fitment

STEP 2

Using my self-taught TIG welding skills, I was able to fabricate an all aluminum, double wall heat shield. Fundamental heat transfer ideas were used in my design decisions

STEP 3

After many test trials and re-work, the heat shield fit into the car
