how effective is ceramic coating on the hotside of the turbo?



how about heat wrapping the manifolds and downpipe?

Stay away from heat wrap it traps moisture. Heat coating is worth the money.

Ceramic coat bro is the way to go! (hey that rhymed lol) Im inthe process of doing it myself. Im doing the DP, UIM, LIM and exhaust for now, as i have no reason to take apart the hot side. "Some" say there is no benefit to the intake side, but i figure it cant hurt and should benifit in my eyes. Plus it will look better. So ya....ceramic is the choice!!

if there is no benefit on the inducer side..... then why would you ceramic coat your uim, and lim?

"Some say" there isnt, but i talked with a few different companys that do the procedore and they say it does.

Its supposed to keep heat in, but some of the guys that think they know all say that thats the only thing its good for. But the companys said opposite, and that it does also help in preventing to keep the engine bay heat out. So it works as a blocker and a holder.......

i guess it keeps the intake from absorbing heat pulled away from the radiator.........

The stuff im looking at now is good to 2000 F

My hotside is JET-HOT coated. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

benefits?

coating is not limited to supressing temps on the ebay..

it also aids in increasing flow via exhaust temp...

actual temps of the exhaust drops as it exits..

some of which is the result of the cooler exhaust piping..

maintaining the temps via hot coating through the exit will aid in better flow....

I thought the heat that is trapped in keeps the exhaust hotter, which inturn increases velocity of the exiting exhaust...



Keep in mind more trapped heat = more stress on the turbos bearings..

not hotter..

coatings will help maintain the temps upon exit..

to avoid the cooling effect of heat transfer from the exhaust piping..

which.. minimizes loss of flow rate from the drop in temp..
