FastWoman Posted March 14, 2015 Share #172 Posted March 14, 2015 Zombi, I suspect you've deleting the heat shields for aesthetic reasons. (I admit they're ugly.) Hopefully you have headers, and hopefully that prevents the commonplace hot restart issue. However, you might want to hold on to the shields for a year or so, through changes in gasoline formulations, to make certain you don't need them. They do help with the hot restart.

S30Driver Posted March 14, 2015 Share #173 Posted March 14, 2015 Heat shields don't have to be ugly ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted March 14, 2015 Share #174 Posted March 14, 2015 Once the heat shield is polished is there a way to keep them from reoxidizing? I would think clear coats would yellow or cook...Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted March 14, 2015 Share #175 Posted March 14, 2015 Had mine coated with chromex, good for 1300 degrees.No discoloration yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 14, 2015 Share #176 Posted March 14, 2015 Fastwoman is right, keep the heat shields in my opinion too. Just a couple of days ago someone said their PCV hose got turned to toast after removing them. Also they keep heat off the plastic reservoirs for your brakes and clutch fluid, can't remember the thread. Maybe it's the "Hot Start Issues, who has them who doesn't". I think it's S30Driver who mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sixTZombii Posted March 14, 2015 Share #177 Posted March 14, 2015 Oh no I swapped an L28 into my 260z, but kept it carbed for simplicity sake. So I had a bunch of FI stuff to get rid of. My car has a heat shield, and round top SUs :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted March 15, 2015 Share #178 Posted March 15, 2015 So "Chromex" is used like powder coat...?Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted March 15, 2015 Share #179 Posted March 15, 2015 Charles, this is from Performance Coatings web site... Chromex ™ Ceramic Exhaust Coating is the most popular kind of coating on the market today. This type of coating (metallic ceramic) is used by more companies and manufacturers than any other material. It is extremely popular on exhaust systems, where the high luster finish provides a very attractive, durable surface. The high temperature characteristics of ceramics have been combined with metallic frits to create a coating that can withstand metal temperatures in excess of 1300° F and provides 5000 hr. salt spray protection.A truly unique coating that is based on a water/solvent system, it may be applied to a variety of surfaces and metals such as exhaust system components, brackets, valve covers, hinges, grills, suspension parts or any metal part that can withstand the 500° F cure temperatures. It polishes to a high luster, stainless/chrome appearance that will not rust, and is especially effective as a hard protective coating for aluminum parts.
