Product Details
Complete your 24V swap with an intake designed specifically for the job. The Turner 24V Swap Heat-Shield Intake is engineered for E30 engine conversions, delivering cold, dense airflow in tight engine bays while retaining use of the factory air duct.
Most swaps leave you with two less-than-ideal choices: bolt a filter directly to the MAF and suck in hot under-hood air, or cobble together a universal intake that still lacks proper heat shielding. Our swap intake eliminates those compromises.
Our low-profile, heat-shielded design isolates the filter from radiant engine heat, works seamlessly with the stock 3.0" MAF, and supports factory CCV/ICV routing. The result is OEM-like fitment with modern airflow efficiency, no wiring hacks, no vacuum headaches, just a clean, reliable intake solution built for your swap.
Key features:
- Heat shield designed to fit M20 and M5X swapped cars — mounts to the frame rail and ties into the ABS mount for rock-solid positioning. Creates a colder air pocket where the factory inlet duct is.
- 5052 powder-coated aluminum heatshield, stiff, corrosion-resistant, and finished for a long life in the swap environment.
- The black silicone intake elbow and coupler is a compliant, high-temperature silicone that grips clamps and resists blow-off during repeated fitment and heat cycles.
- Retains stock 3.0" MAF, no adapters needed to run the factory OBD1/OBD2 MAF in a factory-like location.
- Designed to preserve stock CCV and ICV hoses for M50/M52 setups, this keeps the typical manifold and crank-vents intact, thereby avoiding vacuum and idle headaches common in swaps.
- Stainless-steel hardware for longevity and corrosion resistance.
Fitment & compatibility:
M50/M52 engines are among the most popular 24V choices thanks to robust iron blocks, widespread availability, and strong aftermarket support, making them an excellent pairing for turbo or naturally aspirated builds. Keeping the stock MAF and CCV/ICV routing reduces the troubleshooting surface during install and helps complete your swap faster.

Product Development:
Our Turner 24v Intake System was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing. Performance data metrics are collected utilizing Mustang AWD 500 SE in-ground dyno and in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench.
