Replace that factory UTV turbo shield and upgrade your next adventure. Let us face it the bean counters can keep these big companies going by cutting corners on parts for their production lines. A Perfect example of one such shortcut is to use a stamped metal turbo heat shield. In the case of a Rzr or Maverick this short cut can have devastating effects on performance and reliability.
We all know that metal touching hot metal just makes even more hot metal So is the case with an all metal turbo heat shield The hot side is in direct contact with the “cold side” metal and there is no thermal break. In addition to the inefficient turbo shield design side by sides face some aerodynamic challenges in the rear of the vehicle. The air space behind the firewall before the engine has an eddying effect when at speed like that of a truck bed. The air does not flow out and around the engine, instead it just circulates the hot air. This only compounds the inefficiency of the factory turbo shield.
Stop the heat, lock it into the turbine where it belongs with the Lava UTV Turbo Shield. This rugged textile heat shield fits more snugly around the turbo and offers a cooler cold side temperature by as much as 60%. Using the LUTS lowers the ambient air temperatures around the turbo and reduces the multiplication factor of the circulating air. This least to less heat headed towards your firewall, less heat to the CV belt, and less heat for your air box and charge pipes. All of these benefits equal more power and greater liability in your UTV.
Do I have to remove my factory metal shield?
Yes, removal of the factory shield is necessary to install this replacement heat shield on your Rzr. Installation is very easy, just wire the Lava Turbo Shield into place on your XP pro.
Can I reinstall my factory metal shield over the Lava™ Turbo Shield?
No, reinstalling the factory heat shield will not be an option after the turbo shield has been installed without some heavy modification. It is also not necessary to install the factory shield this offers 80% better cold side performance vs the stamped metal heat shields.
Is this heat shield built to work in the snow? Does getting it wet affect its performance?
The Lava Turbo Shield is highly resistant. If it is used on a snowmobile or on a SxS in the snow it will not be hindered by bad weather. Also the outer lava rock cover is highly water and chemical resistant.
