[s-cars] Ceramic coating - EM / Turbo

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

Davie and others... now I'm dazed and confused... so it's not worth it to coat the RS2 EM?  what about the Down Pipe? or Turbo? 

Is it because these are not high enough HP applications, or because the RS2 EM is so well built that coating will add little value... I always thought that ceramic coating was not only a good insurance policy but improved HP (contains the heat), but I value yours and the lists opinions... so I'd like to understand better the HP/$... I don't understand why it's only cosmetic?

There seems to be various coating options too, such as http://www.jet-hot.com/pages/newheaders.html or http://www.swaintech.com/header.html

On the same topic, what about just using thermal wrap stuff? ala: http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/ any drawbacks to this? 

Cheers, /Jamu.

P.S. Yes, the POR-15 and POR-20 stuff rocks!

If the EM you're refering to is an RS2 EM, then I wouldn't bother with the  
expense of coating either.  I tend to assess upgrades on a hp/$  basis.  In 
that light, I've never seen any hard data that would support  such measures... 
IMHO.
