E30 M50 Heat shield for CAI

[permit]

It's ABS plastic, made by Bryson (the PO). Knowing how tedious it is to make even something simple with ABS, it probably took him an entire day. It is completely sealed around the edges, and the plastic bit behind the headlights is removed. It made a noticeable difference.

Looks like plastic welded together out of sheet abs.

Did you make it yourself with aluminum?

That was my setup originally with the M50. When I went off to Arizona for school, I decided to upgrade to the larger radiator, so I had to get rid of that box. I wish I could go back to the M42 radiator, that box was the shit.

Nah, it looks like he's running the stock M42 radiator with the built-in expansion tank on the left side of the radiator.

Jeremy, where is your coolant resevoir? Are you running the e36 one built into the radiator?

Has any one seen or made a heatshield for the new intake in their engine swap ?
It would make sense to have one since most people have their cone filter sitting in the middle of the engine bay where the temp is highest.
Anyone have a pic?
