anyone got tips for easiest way to remove turbo sheild.. open to all tips/tricks... been doing a little research.. 6 bolts and rotate clockwise? planning to remove heat shield and install my pyro into my dump pipe... then maybe finish my dawes and needle valve... might also see if i can get a bung from masters up the rd so i can weld it into my intercooler piping for boost pickup...
One of the bolts on the top of the shield - towards the back of the motor is a dummy bolt, and you don't need to undo it ....
I did have a thread about it a while ago, from when I did mine
Too easy might shoot u a pm if i get stuck..cheers mullet..
This looks like a good way to increase air flow, looks easy enough to do,,, now to source to parts
If you or Mudski could suss out sizes it would be great
Here is the thread for you .... search for this : 3 Litre CRD Heat Shield on Dump Pipe

Well i went out early this morning to have a crack at removn heat shield.. bolts were rediculously tight even with a heap of wd40 sprayed over them.. managed to crack/losen 5 of the bolts.. the one at the back is rounded so my socket was just spinning.. will have to get out the dremel n cut out arnd the bolt or something.. or otherwise try smash a 11mm onto the bolt head n have a crack with that.. but i think id rather save that job for another dayy...
Very nice , gauges present well too,
late model flares will fit, just letting you know
Is that ur setup 3dogs, tidy.. in terms of better airflow.. i plan on getn a 4 inch stainless snorkle installed from either moonlight fabrication or ontrack fabrication.. 4 inch all the way to airbox then 4 inch to 3 inch silicone adapter then use hpd billet airflow lid and hdp billet maf housing.. there should be minimal air restriction with this setup.. ad mentioned by musdki he could run upto 30 pound with no limp issues... also lookn at upgrading to 3 inch exhaust.. which should also compliment all the above mods...
Its only a 3 ltr mate not a strocked 383, make it efficient by all means
but performance mods .lol, I'd be making it as light as I could and any
motor mod would be to inprove fuel consumption
It would be like two snails having a drag
Stainless does look good satin brushed
Nah not mine BTW this is mine no engine cover
Well i ended up getn heat shield out.. and original dump pipe off... had to smash the head off the rear bolt on heat shield as it was a bit too rounded off and the paper trick wasnt working... id say previous owner or someone must of tryed to have a crack at removn the heat shield and gave up after rounding the first bolt.. lol.. anyhows i decided i was gonna upgrade dump pipe since i had to order a bung for the pyro anyways... scored me a new manta dump pipe, gasket and couple bungs for 140... so welded in bung on dump pipe for pyro and welded in bung into intercooler pipe for boost pickup.. pyro workn like a treat.. my boost gauge aint working cause i accidently tossed out the fittings to go frm the nylon line to the brass fitting. Lol.. tryed to do roadkill/back yard cable tie fix but it dint wnt too play the game.. so will have a look at fixing something up tomorrow so i can get a cortect boost signal...
