Either way you go you will not regret it, another option is a Turbo Blanket. It is alos meant to keep the heat inside the turbine for higher EG velocities. GL Dan

To: "MiataPower" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 2:10 PM #yiv88611192 p {margin:0;} Looking into having my turbo exhaust manifold coated - looks like there is no clear concensus about which coatings can take the heat for very long(when abused on the track). That said, it sounds like SwainTech and JetHot are the two most talked about. Most people report the Swain ceramic coating doesn't last very long before it cracks and starts to flake due to expansion/contraction (and likely the thickness of the coating itself). I haven't seen many people report he same about the JetHot 2000 coatings, so I gave them a call - apparently they also own HPcoatings(http://www.hpcoatings.com/) and they offer a coating that has been tested up to 2500*(http://www.hpcoatings.com/am/products/products_heat_hipercoat_extreme.aspx). They claim t to not be as durable with regards to withstanding chipping, but it sounds like a durable coating with regards to withstanding cracking and flaking. It is also considered a true thermal barrier coating so with regards to keeping the heat INside the manifold it sounds like a better coating for turbo applications(helps spool and reduces radiant heat significantly). Does anyone have any experience with either the JetHot 2000 or HP extreme coatings. Any other coatings I should consider? thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
