pistons - have them coated or not?
I'm getting ready to order some Endyn rollerwave FI pistons and there is a price difference of $150 for coated. Is it really worth the expense? What are the benefits?
They are for a b20vtec that will run as much as 28 psi of boost

Endyn charged my B17 buddy $80.00 for coating the pistons. That was last week, so I don't think their prices could have gone up that much?

well i had my pistons thermal coated too, its kind of a better be safe then sorry type of situation, you cant really see whats goin on in the cylinders at all times but if you do have a problem i beleive from what i have heard of the thermal coatings that you have another barrier against damage.....its not large, but its something

thats technically what i meant.....but it didnt come out right
basically the less heat in the cylinders the less likely you are to detonate
