Thanks Kenny i picked it up today And Aldo picked up a stock fan from hpc

 

Any updates on the differences before and after coating?

 

Not yet I have a broken bolt in my manifold that I need to remove before I put it back together. It only takes like 15 minutes to put everything back. It's just the broken bolt is giving me a headache.

 

Who did the work?

 

Hot shot performance coating in davie fl (954)474-7997. They charged me $235 for everything.

 

progress I just need to pick up a gasket for one of my wastegates and a bolt from the hardware store

 

 

WTF!!! U DIDNT COAT THE DOWNPIPE????


Bad enough its mild steel!

 

Lol that's the next thing to get coated. Moneys tight and coating isn't cheap. I'm not a ballet like you mr 8 sec

 

TDAutoworks is in the ballet? He must be pretty running 8's in a tutu.

I would have coated the upsidedownpipe before the dump tube though.

 

Dumptube isn't coated. Yeah damians in ballet

 

Any updates man? Looks damn good but I thought that the 2000+degree stuff was black?

 

Ya I didn't get the black because I didn't like how it looks. I'm retuning the car because Im going to run e85 instead of pump gas. But as far as pump gas The last map that I used would still be fine. Thanks for liking the way it looks. I'm going to the dyno at Td Autowerkes this weekend. So we'll see what it makes I'm hoping for 450-500 on the one walbro that I'm using. It made 425whp easily on pump.

 

^^ that will be easy for TD to get u. tell them u want 600whp make them work a little, lol

 

I tune my own car. Td is the dyno I'm using. I know I can make 600 on c16 but I don't want to run c16 because it's pretty expensive. And for the power I'm going for I need a fuel system anyways.

 

I have always wanted real experienced opinions of this. Now is it beneficial to coat/paint intercooler piping as well?

 

I've been told yes. I'm thinking of sending my ic piping to get powder coated. I'm sure it won't work as well as ceramic coating but I'm sure the air would be a little cooler.

 

I would be interested to see not coolant temps but actual underhood temps in certain spots near downpipe and turbo before and after coating. I would rather coat than put wrap on but if the wrap is going to keep heat in better than I will just bite the bullet and do that.

Two people with about the same setup(topmount) should take temps in a few spots compared to you that now has this coating just to see what the difference is

 

But doesn't metal dissipate heat better bare rather than coated? And isn't the point of coating something to keep the heat in? This is what doesn't make sense to me. lol!

 

You got a point. But I'm guessing it also atracts or absorbs less heat when coated. The point of coating is to keep heat in but maybe also to keep the cooler air in also when it comes to ic piping. I really don't know I'm just guessing

 

Got this from Jet Hot web site it should help understand some of the benefits of ceramic coating.

JET-HOT will normally boost power when applied to headers or manifolds for two reasons. First, the coating promotes denser, more potent fuel/air charges by insulating the engine bay from exhaust heat. At the same time, it accelerates the pulsed-vacuum effect on “tuned” headers, resulting in more effective scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gases produced by higher exit inertia not only clears each cylinder more quickly; it also draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently.

 

I understand the benifits to applying it to manifolds, I just don't quite understand intercooler piping.
