HONDATA heatshield

Recommended Posts

The other night (thursday) I decided to go for a bit of a drive with a mate.

To cut a long story short we racked up a few K's over the 2 hours city and highway driving and a mountain run.

When I got home I thought I'd lift the bonnet to let the engine cool.

The usual temperature was radiating from the head of the engine (damn bloody hot) but to my amazement the intake manifold was 'ice' cold.

Normally the manifold has some heat in it. But due to it being a cold night @ 10 degrees and maybe even a combination with the cooling panels. I was absolutley shocked and amazed. The TRD CAI was also ice cold to the touch (which it should be)

just thought someone might like to know

the airbox will more than likely still be cool which it should but the heatshield stops the manifold itself from absorbing heat from the engine. so even though the airbox will be cols and the air inside it. when it is sucked into the heated manifold it will warm a few degrees ;)
