I have used this coating on numerous turbo parts. It does not flake burn or peel. And its so easy to use. You can buy it at advanced auto in a can.

Materials:

-brake cleaner
-VHT hi temp (your color choice)
-Sand paper (i used 600 grit)


1. Scuff the o2 housing until it appears dull.


2. Spray it off with brake cleaner and let it dry.

3. Apply your first coat of hi temp (light coat) let dry for about ten mins and spray another even coat. (i did 3-4 total.


4. Bake in oven at 250 deg. for 30 mins.


5. Install and your done!!


Thanks,

Nice. Might have to get some of that stuff and coat my O2 dump before I put it on.

 

can anyone that has used this product chime an and let us know if they have seen any drops in underhood temps? I am not familiar with that specific product and am wondering if its more for appearance or if it also serves another purpose like other coatings.

 

for appearance- it will not hold in heat.

 

For the cost, that's looking like a great way to prevent corrosion. You'll have to post up every few months and let us know how it holds up.

For thermal protection + corrosion protection, I sent mine to Jet Hot. It was pricey - $180 for Jet Hot 2000 coating, incl. chrome removal ($30?) - but it came out looking great and after 2 years looks as good as it did when I got it. I have no way of measuring the before and after effects for heat, though.

 

Thanks for the responses. I had a feeling this was only for appearance as opposed to one of the coatings you mentioned. Good to know

 

Like i said i have used it numerous times. I have coated down pipes, and my top mount turbo manifold on my other car. The coating holds up strong. and i can say it helpd the metal hold heat. I have placed my hand on my down pipe right after shutting the car off and it did not burn my hand. The coating deff helps with corrosion, retaining heat, and an over all good look. I have used this stuff numerous times and i can say by experience it does the job. for a 1/4 of the price of jet coatings, now it might not be to the T but its good heat range from 1600-2000 deg.

Can anyone else opine on the effectiveness of this stuff?

 

Nice job on the coat... seems like the corrosion protection alone would make this worth your time

 

gotta try this out. Is it safe to cook food in the oven after doing this? (not immediately, but days later)

 

I was wondering how the big tuners do this? What do they use?

 

You'll be fine, although the VOCs generated while baking will certainly **** off the wife (speaking from experience).

 

Nice that piece looks great

 

Swaintech and Jet Hot are the 2 of the big guys when it comes to ceramic coating.

 

the direction's on the can state 2 ways to cure the coating there is an on car option or in the oven. The over is 2 steps 250 deg for 30 mins and then 400 deg for 30 mins, i would think if they post those instructions it shouldnt be a problem. it dosent even really smell that bad when you open the oven.

I have also coated my turbo manifold heat sheild and hotside with this sutff.

thanks
