Guest the_dj Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Placement issues with my driver's side turbo forces the turbine housing to sit with between 1" and 3/4" separation from the side of the brake master cylinder. What can I do to prevent boiling my brake fluid? How effective is heatshielding, and are there any special precautions I should take? What should I make my heat shielding out of? The budget is an issue second only to safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 My 280Z has a heatshield around the master already. If yours doesn't have one, get one out of a scrapyard and bolt it in. I just ran all day at the road track Saturday with my downpipe 1-1/2" from the proportioning valve and with my stock heatshields installed, never had a braking problem.

The stock one doesn't fit as is. I have to remove it and the mounting bracket, though I should be able to modify it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
