Give Your EJ Turbo the Same Heat Protection Without the Ceramic Finish
The GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield Version 2 offers the same improved coverage and fitment as the ceramic version, in a natural silver finish for owners who prefer a factory-style look or plan to paint or coat it themselves. It creates a barrier between the hot turbo housing and nearby hoses, wiring, and intake components, helping protect them from radiant heat damage over time. This version is built for EJ-platform Subaru turbo engines.

FAQ
What is the GrimmSpeed 092007 turbo heat shield?It's a Version 2 turbo heat shield in a natural, uncoated finish that protects components near the turbocharger from radiant heat on EJ-powered WRX and STI models.
Which vehicles fit the GRM092007?This heat shield fits 2002 and newer Subaru WRX and STI models equipped with the EJ turbo engine.
How is this different from the ceramic version?This version has the same Version 2 shield design but comes in a bare natural finish instead of the black ceramic coating used on GRM092008.
Can I paint or coat this heat shield myself?Yes, the uncoated finish makes it a good candidate for painting or having a ceramic coating applied separately.
Does this shield require cutting or trimming?No, it bolts directly to the factory EJ turbo mounting location without modification.
Will this fit a non-turbo Impreza?No, it is designed specifically for turbocharged EJ engines found in the WRX and STI.
Will the natural finish rust over time?The material is selected for heat resistance and durability, but as with any uncoated metal, environmental exposure may cause surface discoloration over time.
Does the heat shield reduce underhood temperatures?It helps block and redirect radiant heat away from nearby components, helping protect hoses and wiring from heat-related wear.
Install Instructions
- Allow the engine to cool completely before beginning work
- Locate the factory turbo heat shield or mounting studs near the turbocharger
- Remove the factory heat shield if equipped
- Position the GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield V2 over the turbo mounting studs
- Secure the shield using the provided mounting hardware
- Torque hardware to factory specification and verify clearance from surrounding components
Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...

Heat Shields
This collection covers heat shields, which protect wiring, fuel lines, brake lines, and structural components from exhaust heat in performance and daily-driven vehicles, serving vehicle owners and builders who need reliable components for maintenance, restoration, or performance enhancement. Dei (design engineering inc.), thermo-tec, and heatshield products supply popular heat management solutions for automotive and powersports applications, providing buyers with the confidence that comes from sourcing from recognized suppliers with documented fitment data. Heat shield material choice between aluminum, stainless steel, and composite ceramic coatings depends on the thermal load and space constraints at the specific installation location, and selecting the correct specification for the specific application is the most important step before any installation. Whether the goal is restoring OEM function, addressing a worn component, or improving beyond factory performance, this collection...
