Hi people, just wanting to hear peoples thoughts on High Octane coatings. I have used Competition Coatings, HPC, Jet Hot in the past and have my thoughts on the respective pros and cons of them....I have not used High Octane coatings in the past.

Anyone used their black manifold/turbine housing coating and can speak to its durability?

My own experience has HPC the best for quality and durability...no surprise they are they most expensive. Competition Coatings and Jet Hot about the same, with perhaps Jet Hot being a tad more durable but less range of colours and finishes.

I've used Techline ceramic coatings on my manifolds and turbine housings on 2 of my cars. Coatings are inside and out of the manifolds and turbine housings.

I've proven the coatings hold up to sustained heat around 850 degrees no problems. Looks good too. I don't know who of the companies you mentioned use the techline products, but the key is in the application. I have an aluminium oxide/ceramic base under the black TurboX coating.

Competition Coatings did a set of CP pistons for me in one of my other engines. The finish looked great. Never produced any performance data with that engine though. Changed the recipe before getting that far.

I used a local ceramic coating a few years back. The ceramic held up but i swear the black that i paid extra for was just heat proof paint. After tuning on the dyno the black was peeling off from the collector.

ive used competition coating for my manifold and turbine housing, the high temp black one,

seems to have reduced my coolant temperature a fair bit , could be the larger turbo contributing though, seems ok so far.. not fancy to look at though, just faded black looking..

craved coatings did mine too, after a couple of dyno pulls the exhaust housing was measuring 300c on the surface (manifold and housing ceramic coated a cast iron/gunmetal grey colour inside and out)

competition coatings did both my manifolds, both sides of my turbo, cooler piping, TB and dump pipe.... looks sick and works really well... Ive got a few lines which are really close to my dump pipe and im so supprised that they havnt melted... without the coating im sure they would have.

All encouraging, but how long have you been running the manifold, turbine housing coatings. This ca is driven around 1000kms a month and does some sustained wide open throttle stuff so will get plenty of heat in it doing some fun days at the track. I have decided will be givign Comp Coating a go in Coburg and see how they go

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
