I am looking into a temp coating of some sort but the companies around here want way to much $$...just looking for alternatives. Thanks,

VHT paint wont do it, ill think youre gonna have to look into jet hot or some other coating

 

Jet-Hot, Swain, etc. Some sort of high temp ceramic coating.

 

Swain coatings

 

How hard is to disassemble it for coating?

 

Not difficult at all, a few bolts to remove then ship the turbine housing to the coater.
Plus the coater will do the clean-up and prep themselves (it is included in the cost)

 

jet hot coat it. i paid 85.00 for the inside and out to be coated locally.

 

One more option: http://www.airborncoatings.com/

 

They said I had to take the damn wheel out and stuff. So I don't have to do that? Give me some insight. I'm a dumbass when it comes to turbo's lol.

 

Undo the center housing bolts on both sides and the exhaust and compressor sides will pull off............just take them off carefully and watch the fins.

 

No. The turbine housing will come off with ease.

 

Thanks guys! That was easy enough. I thought it would be a lot more complex than that. Those are the same bolts I had to loosen when I had to rotate the housing.

exactly.

 

if you're a cheap bastard like me, and cant afford to even pay 85 dollars to coat it. get a can of copper spray, and coat the turbine housing with it. once heated up for the first time, the copper turns a cast iron grey color. i always use it if the turbine housing is not coated otherwise.

 

I've coated mine with several coats of silicon exhaust spray (summit retails it).

I used the same stuff on my old turbo and manifold, and it looked great even after a year of daily driving.

Heres what my new setup looks like...

 

I find that if it does not get wet, that putting a light coat of WD 40 or Liquid Wench on it now and again keeps it looking like cast iron...

The down side is it smells for a few mins after start up.

But it seems to kepp mine rust free...

That looks really good Also seems to be the easiest and cheapest way. I think I will do this. Thanks!

its the stock valve cover uncut. maybe it looks weird cause the motor isnt dressed out yet with all the accessories.
