turbo manifold coating
Friday, September 01, 2006 9:35 PM
i have the log style manifold for my 2.4 its all ported out, but i kno a guy who does nickel plating. would this be a good idea? im pretty sure the nickel plate would heat up more which would actually b better for the turbo, to spool quicker. this is what i thought help me out, thanks

Jet Hot is the way to go if your going to coat anything.

Nickel won't do anything but make it shine. Not that it's a bad thing. But if you want to keep the heat in there, jet hot is the way to go.

I powdercoated mine with High temp header powdercoating. If you send it to me i can do it for $50. Here is a pic of how mine came out. I have been driving it for like 6 months now and it still looks just as good as when i put it on. I also did the turbo exhaust housing.

It's not new at all. Years old actually. Just more conveniant for disconnecting your downpipe. Also not as prone to leaks.



Blew it up, build numbers coming soon

Dont coat the cold side, polish it if anything, you want it to let the heat out.
