I am wanting to have the 2.0L heads on my turbo motor coated with a thermal barrier. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to have this done and how much it should/will cost? Better yet, does anyone have a shop that does this?

Is that a good idea? I thought piston tops was ok but the heads?

Pay to have it done by a professional is all I can say
.....my coating on the top of my "homedone" pistons is flaking off. The heads held up okay, so I must have done something wrong to the piston surface or prep...... of course, running the car with an A/F ratio of 17:1 might have caused some of the damage.......glad I got the car onto a dyno before "real" damage happened. |

I've had good luck with Jet Hot.
I'm thinking Turbo headers will need the "2000" coating. A set of V-8 headers are 225.00 inside and out IIRC. |

I used Jet-Hot on my headers.
Great job. Easy to deal with. Bill |

Britain,
Try calling a company called PolyDyn performance coatings.They are out in Houston I think.Web site is www.polydyn.com I used them back in the early '90s while doing some weekend mini-stock racing.They did many internal engine parts for me,of various types.An example on a piston.Thermal barrier on top,wear coating on skirts,and a teflon coating underneath the piston only came to about $10.00 per piston.We also did an oil absorbant coating on all the rod&main brg's.You'll have to adjust for proper clearances or you'll sieze a crank like we did the first time we toyed with coatings.Once we sorted that issue out and started over,I will say our engine did run 5-10 degrees cooler with the coatings while we raced it. They'll send you free info. Ron |
