MAPerformance: Behind The Scenes
Since there has always been a misconception that we here at MAPerformance ONLY sell performance parts, we are going to be updating this thread daily with some other stuff that goes on around the shop. This will range from new product pictures to dyno videos and even staff shenanigans! So consider this thread your daily behind the scenes look at MAPerformance!
After a quick once around the shop today I was in the fab department and caught Matt welding up a collector for an evo x turbo manifold. I thought it was a neat shot.
We all get bored easily so help us keep this thread fresh, give us your feedback on what you guys want to see and we will not disappoint!

Well folks, today I went an visited Dan in our ceramic coating department; what we have here today is a set of CP Pistons getting prepped for the MAPerformance Dry Film Lubricant Treatment.
The preparation process involves alot of masking and trimming, media blasting, more masking and trimming, fine cleaning, the application of coatings and of course the final curing process.
A little more masking, then they are off to get cleaned and coated!
MAPerformance Dry Film Lubricants are the best solution for any moving part subject to sliding or rolling friction such as valve stems, cam journals, side skirts of pistons,
and main bearings. This coating will minimize galling and scuffing thus increasing part life. Clearances are not effected when this coating is utilized.
All combined, these coatings will yield lower part temps for longer part life and an increase in exhaust velocity by minimizing heat lost in the process, resulting in a boost
in power (~1-6% depending on application), not to mention they look good. All from just a coating!
Combine these coatings with cryo treatment and you will have performance parts that last!
Be sure to check back for more! I'll try and get a picture of a finished product for you guys!

So I visited Matt once again in the fab department and came across his latest creation...
This is a custom turbo and manifold combination for the DSM 4G63 engine. Matt has been working with Kyle from R&D on this.
The combination is currently classified as "Top Secret"...
However stay tuned in to our Blog for more info to come!

So this morning I stopped by the engine building room to see that the lads over at Golden Eagle have come through for us once again with the sleeving on this very fresh Honda B18C engine.
As you probably already know here at MAPerformance we do all of our engine machining and assembly in house.
However, sleeving is definitely an art and we leave that task to the pros at Golden Eagle.
If you need an engine built. We're your one stop shop!

I wandered up into shipping today to find this hot little number all ready to ship out!
This is a Hyundai Genesis 2.0T Intake manifold which has received the MAPerformance REV 3 porting service. After that, it received the MAPerformance black thermal heat dispersant coating!
These manifolds see the porting department, fabrication department for cutting/welding, and finally the coating department. Sounds like alot of work right?!
The REV3 porting service has proven to provide up to 10% HP/TQ gains over the stock units in most applications!
