ceramic coating

[bandriszal]

Anyone Has ceramic coating on engine?
One member of the Hungarian club just got it done because He got fed up heat wrapping every so often and He saying it is very-very good!

its a good idea alright but id say it would be expensive enough

i get it done . far better than heat wrap . reduces heat by 1/3 .. expensive but worth it . a manifold to get done would be about £300 ish ..

I was talking to Him yesterday, they did a test drive about 20-30 mins and then put hands on manifold , it was cold. Don't know how much it was but the manifold on it's on ~470 Eu. But YOu only need to get it done once.

ceramic is only a coating..it will flake and peel over time!!!
heat wrap is a far cheaper option for pretty good results...

As above..

For slightly modified road/track cars ceramic coating is just too expensive for gains.. Heatwrap is good enough

But if money no object why not....

and they say theres a recession on

Lagging tape would do me before id pay that.

I can only repeat what He told Me.
" Got fed up with heat wrapping so often! It's a pain in the ars!apparently it will last long"

He only uses the car for tracks. This was His last upgrade
