Kranz Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Maybe you can get the turbine ceramic coated so it can withstand the crazy temperatures antilag produces? Something like Tony Licence had on his manifold??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Maybe you can get the turbine ceramic coated so it can withstand the crazy temperatures antilag produces? Something like Tony Licence had on his manifold??? I would'nt have a clue, surely if it was that easy it would be done as standard to steel bladed turbos?

Homer Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Maybe you can get the turbine ceramic coated so it can withstand the crazy temperatures antilag produces? Something like Tony Licence had on his manifold??? I'm not sure this is a viable option, surely it would have been done by now? Cost would be a major issue, as would the weight of the coating (lag). Not sure I've heard of ceramic coated exducers before. The jspec ones were completely ceramic, but the cost to develop and produce something like that would probably run to the millions.

TLicense Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm not sure, but I don't think it will work. It's quite a rough texture (it's a ceramic powder that's sprayed on) You could give them a call and see what they say:- http://www.zircotec.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth looking into anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, they aren't far from basingstoke area, I might give them a call with regards costs for piston coatings, could be interesting.....depending on cost I'd wonder how the whole chamber stuff would be.

Jake Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 You can get ceramic coated pistons, valve faces & complete combustion chambers.... so why not turbine wheels? I guess because pistons and valves etc don't see 50k+ rpm and require perfect balancing. How would you balance a turbine that has been ceramic coated?

Kranz Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 How would you balance a turbine that has been ceramic coated? By spinning it fast on a VSR balancing machine and machining small amounts off the hex end to achieve sub 1g peak vibration?
