Well after 3 years the glue that holds that rubbery stuff from the JWT heatshield to the intake has decided to give way.

Considering my car is stock apart from the intake, I hoped it would last longer.

Anyone else had this problem and what did you do to replace it?

Cheers.

 

Its the crappy glue that JWT uses for the rubber

I replaced it through JWT by calling them - you can also glue it back together if you didnt lose it all

 

I did something stupid and threw it away in disgust(it was in for a rego inspection when I noticed it). It never fit properly anyway - what's with that?
I'll see if they are kind enough to replace it for me as well. It's a shame, I think the quality of the pod itself is very good.

Cheers.

 

i threw mine away a long time ago..

 

Just another reason not to use a pop charger.

 

Sounds like a pop but is held together with the hose clamp type ring so no glue to wear out

 

Wow, looks like you have a CF fetish. Very nice.

But is the shroud/heatshield hooked up to the intake, it doesn't look like it from this photo or have you piped some extra intake?

Thanks for sharing.

 

Once I get my comp hooked back up I'll put a newer pic up ...after a tune on the dyno it was suggested that I make the ram functional again to alleviate heat soak as much as possible so we rotated the intake so that it perfectly utilizes the ram and blocks the...well...the block as a real heat shield should!

And yea cf is kind of an obsession

hehe someday...Mansory ...I shall own one of you
