its a mystery to me  Group: Members Posts: 1,826 Joined: 17-March 03 From: Marriottsville, MD Member No.: 434 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
is ceramic coating of pistons worth the effort?
what about doing only the piston tops and not the combustion chamber? I am getting a new set of pistons and can have them supplied with the ceramic coating... I would have to clean up and send out the heads to have them done..looking for forum wisdom. |

The engine builder for my Datsun says it’s a 10/10ths thing. He said only do it if you’re going for the championship or your budget is unlimited.
This makes 300HP where the original engine only made 150. Attached image(s)

This makes 300HP where the original engine only made 150. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Race engine or street engine pushing the known limits? Sure... I did a lot of research before I determined my money was better spent elsewhere, like coated bearings, balancing the rotating assembly, and better valve materials... This was on a water cooled 1.8L motor that I built the motor to handle 600hp....... |
