jet hot

[noah89t]

while i am rebuilding my motor now i had some things coated at Jet Hot. they have 3 different temperature coatings and do some good work.
the downpipe and exhaust manifold were coated in the 2500 degree temp. and the oil pan and sheilds were done in the 1300 degree temp. thats why they are shiny. but come to find out, the exhaust man. is cracked :3d_frown: so i gave them another to coat this week

here is some more of the pics. wanted to point out that they coat the inside and out of the dp and manifold.

Makes a HUGE difference in underhood temps!

Look at a baggie for the Turbo as well!

I like heat rap any day but paint takes longer but the pocket book doesn't feel the pain

do you know how much... just curious... i just wrapped everything, cause coating shit costs more (and i didn't think it'd be as effective) (dp wrap, turbo blanket, and heat shield on ic pipe that runs over the turbo)

Well a few minutes after driving I can place my hand on the header without it burning but can't touch a valve cover!

wow^ is this w/ jet hot? or ceramic or what... b/c whatever it is, i'll make sure to coat as much as possible w/ it when i build my motor

One of the coolest... or maybe I should say "hottest" tests I ever performed was this:

Take the palm of your hand, and feel the exhaust pulse at the back of the car from the muffler of a completely un wrapped, un coated exhaust system... and of course feel the heat.

Then have everything from the manifold to the muffler of your exhaust ceramic coated.

Now feel the pulse of exhaust.... the heat will be almost unbearable.
That's how well ceramic exhaust coatings work. very cool

My guy uses Competition Coatings products and the Headers have a 2 coat job of Ceramic Base and Black heat dispersant over the top for Stealth

What's a reasonable price for the ceramic coating? I had my elbow and manifold hi temp powder coating for $100, and am debating going further.

Looking good Noah...

i had the turbine housing ceramic coated when i did the .57 trim.

i had my downpipe wrapped and it sprayed to help seal it, but the wrap doesn't last for more than a few years before it starts to fray and fall apart.

thanks b, let me know when you want me to give him your manifold.

Noah: My Turbine housing is coated as well but the Baggie helps a lot!
(esp if your IC piping goes to a 3000 pipe and not a FFI)

I've seen his pieces in person and they look beautiful! good job noah keep it up man and you know I cant wait to see the finished product!

spiffy

i know with jet hot they do exhaust stuff like DP, by the foot. I forget what it is but i think it was for my Dp and my T4 manifold it was gonna be $200 something. Not bad IMO.

Here is where I buy mine from. A few years ago, Shawndude pointed me in this direction, and this company is awesome.

I've used the following coatings.
Molydisulfied. (Anti friction coating for bearings, piston skirts and other surfaces you don't want sticking to each other.)
Thermal dispersant. (Great for oil pans, engine blocks, radiators and transmission cases. Claimed to improve heat transfer over bare metal.)
Thermal barrier coatings.
1) Ceramachrome. (The shiny stuff when it's polished.)
2) Turbo X. (A black thermal coating good to 2000+ temps.)
3) Thermal Barrier. (The shop only type, it leaves a very smooth high temp barrier, that is great for the ID's of exhaust pipes and other places like my exaust runners.)
4) Thermal barrier for piston crowns. (This stuff Is also on my valves and the cyc head combustion chambers. Reflects heat back, and spreads it out over the surface to control hot spots. This keeps your pistons from melting down better than bare alloy.)
5) TSX, it's a dry applied lubricant you buff into clean metal. You can also top coat other coatings. I have it on my bore walls, piston skirts, rings, pins, bearings and basicly everything that moves on my engine that I could apply it too. It is very thin.

I'm sure there are others, but basicly I've tried most of the Techline coatings on my engine. They work very well, but you have to remove all the of sandblasting media, or your in for a very rude supprise.

Jet Hot is pricy. For the dp it is normally 20 per foot for 3in i guess, he did mine for 15 per foot. Manifold is normally 150 i think, he carged me 95 for manifold which is 4cyl. price and 95 for oil pan. the 2 heat sheilds for the mani were 15 each, and some 25 dollar coating fee. after all that, he gave me about 30 percent off because i pick up all of his ground packages during the week. basically i got a discount because i work for one of the top delivery services in the world. don't want to make anyone mad that may work for another company.
