Thread: Jet hot coating

Anyone ever get their cast turbo mani jet hot coated?
How much $, did you get it done inside and out, and how do you like it?

I did I think I paid around $150. It keeps my engine bay temps down a lot. I wish I had done it to the turbine housing too.

On a turbo application, you might want to consider the 1700º coating to start off with. I have seen their 1300º coating flake off on a few turbo street cars. I believe the 1300º coating is aimed more toward NA apps. They also offer a 2000º coating for the extremists (road race, standing mile, etc.). I have almost always only coated the outside of turbo manifolds and turbine housings....my only concern was having the coating flake off and pass through the turbine at full tilt.

Now that you said that, I remember reading about the higher coating availability...Damn, I never even thought about the possibility of internal flaking, thanks for that!

personally i dont tihnk its a good idea to coat the inside of the piping. like javier said flaking into the turbo and into the engine could result in some serious damage to your turbo and engine. the outside is fine. i would go with a higher temp coating just to make sure the coating doesnt flake or come off.

I have my manifold done inside and out with the 1700deg stuff. I need to send out the turbine housing and have it coated with the 2000 deg coating. As mentioned flaking off is a real concern. I chose not to use the 2000 deg stuff after finding out its not as effective as the 1700 at lower temps.

Definitely a good point about the flaking on the inside.



^When you go a certain temp, does this mean the kind of coat you use is limited? What is the highest temp available for the chromex coating that BlueRB240 posted? I think snikers had jet hot coat his ASP budget headers.

chromex is good to 1700deg depending on the manufacture. I had my manifold,jpipe and dp coating by charles(snikers).

I want to coat my mani turbine housing and down pipe this winter ......to bad we can not get a group buy on the service or somthing ....
