Grimmspeed Turbo Heat Shield V2 Silver – Subaru Turbo Models

Manage Turbo Heat Where It Starts — The GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield V2

The GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield V2 in Silver for Subaru turbocharged EJ-series models wraps the turbocharger housing and exhaust manifold area in a heat shield that reduces radiated heat from the turbocharger to the surrounding components — charge pipes, intake tubes, wiring, and underhood plastics. Turbochargers operate at extremely high temperatures and radiate significant heat to nearby components. The V2 design improves coverage and retention over the previous generation.

Radiated Heat: The Underhood Problem You Can’t Always See

The turbocharger on an EJ-series Subaru operates at temperatures that radiate significantly to nearby charge pipes, the air intake tube, wiring harnesses, and underhood plastics. This radiated heat raises intake air temperatures between the intercooler outlet and the throttle body — a source of heat soak that shows up as reduced power density under sustained boost. It also accelerates deterioration of the components nearest to the turbocharger housing. The GrimmSpeed heat shield reduces this radiated heat at the source — the turbocharger housing itself.

V2 Design — Improved Coverage and Retention Over Gen 1

The GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield V2 improves on the original design with better coverage of the turbocharger housing and exhaust manifold area, and improved retention clips that keep the shield in position during the vibration and heat cycling of normal operation. The Silver finish provides a clean visual appearance under the hood. Direct bolt-in at the factory turbocharger location — no modification required.

Straight From Subispeed

The GrimmSpeed turbo heat shield is the correct thermal management upgrade for any EJ Subaru build that has addressed intake, intercooler, and tuning — the heat radiating from the turbocharger is a hidden variable that affects charge air temperatures and component longevity. The silver finish provides a clean, finished appearance alongside the heat reduction function. It’s one of those purchases that does its job invisibly — you won’t see it working, but the data will show it.

About GrimmSpeed

GrimmSpeed is a Pacific Northwest-based performance parts manufacturer that has been building Subaru-specific hardware since 2003. Founded by engineers who were actively building and racing Subarus themselves, GrimmSpeed’s catalog reflects the priorities of people who use the products they make — turbo inlets, downpipes, uppipes, boost controllers, intercoolers, and engine bay accessories designed specifically for the EJ and FA-series Subaru platforms. Every GrimmSpeed product is engineered, tested, and refined in-house, and their focus on Subaru means the fitment and function reflect a deep understanding of the specific platforms they cover. Subispeed carries the full GrimmSpeed catalog because their approach to product development consistently produces parts that perform as advertised and fit correctly out of the box.
