Hondata heat shield

[darkemperor]

anyone on this item.......? heard some feedback that it melted after 6000miles....n any noticable differents (in terms of sensible heat on the intake can say definitely :rolleyes: ) on performance..

Very minimal.

if it melted after a 6000 miles, then your engine head is seriously hot.

Supposedly made of teflon, the melting point is somewhere around 260-327 °C.

If your engine bay can get that hot... I'd stay far away from the hood as possible. :P

There's clones using the cheaper compounds but I don't know the material used.

It's supposed to minimise the amount of heat soaked up by the manifold from the head. However, there's a lot of other conductors that do it, like the studs and nuts holding the manifold to the head...

so I don't think it makes too much of a difference, and the price is a bit exhorbitant considering it's simplicity, so I'm not bothered to try.

Then again, the americans swear by them.. so they could possibly offer cooler intake charges.

shiro....i also got to know about this from the yanks....theoriticaly can say it shud show different in terms of shielding heat...i always like what spoon is doing for improving performance n i dont see they have this item on their list...sadly they do not interested on h series...
no potential especially on the gb..

 

[shiroitenshi]

The H series, probably cannot go JDM.. very limited.. USDM better :P

But I think one of the reason why Japanese don't like the H22A is because of the sleeves.

 

[darkemperor]

fibrous sleeves........yup...also not much on USDM...:sleep:
