I would still be using as many of the factory heat shields as possible...the coating is good but by itself doesnt work near as well as factory heat shields (My experience anyway)

Looking good.they still look to e 2530s???? Not GT-RS/

Nice,What Turbos are you using this time?

The factory heat shields look good ceramic coated ,did you do yours?

HKS GT-RS....BTW the ceramic coating is done to keep the heat in the system (turbine side) and is not there to protect other items...thats the job of heat shields. The compressor side is done in ceramic chrome for asthetics as well as keeping the heat from transferring into that side of the system. Heat shields are used and are chromed.(again for bling!!!)

No problem when you run WOT.....wide open throttle...lol

Jim's a great tuner though and tuned all shuffle out of the system with the 2530's. Ive really handed him a task with the RS's...lets see if he's up to it.

Ill try find you some Dyno graphs but for drag racing it wont worry you.

Looking good. Any diference between the black and silver ceramic coatings?

I think from memory the silver is a single coating rated to 700deg and the black is a double coating rated to 1100deg. The black works so well the turbine housing can be touched after racing without burning your fingers.

I thought when using GTRS turbos it was best to have the mainfolds with a cross flow pipe? Think that was what mark34gtr said about his GTRS setup.

Yes Brad, the balance pipe helps in street cars for drivability.....which is something i dont give a toss about. This setup is all about full noise low 10 to high 9 sec passes....nothing more.

You are seriously kidding me? It is THAT effective? Amazing!

And ask a stupid question, wtf does RH9 mean???

[saliya]

Hi,

Looks good

Was this done by "Competition Engineering" in Guildford?

Did they coat the inside of the exhaust manifolds? If so, are you/they worried about bits of ceramic coat going through the turbos?

RH9 is an accreditation given to Japanese workshops that builds 9 sec GTR drag cars that run "street" tyres. Its like a club i suppose...a 9sec street GTR club. Contrary to popular belief the workshops are recognised not the car itself. There are 5 RH9 workshops in Aust....BSM, Godzilla Motorsport, Tillbrook's, Croydon's and Willall. DiRTgarage hope to become the 6th.....but more importantly.....to our knowledge no-one has done this using low-mounts.....we hope to be the 1st.

Yes, Competition Coatings at Guildford.

Only the external surfaces look to have been treated.....but in saying that.....its quite common to get pistons coated.....so the product must be safe to use

[RedDrifter]

So what sort of costing does this ceramic coating consist of?
