Suppliers typically offer four types of coatings for high performance engines.
Ceramic coating engine cylinder.
Diblasi says since the ceramic crown coating is only 0005 we do not have to adjust any design characteristics when adding it.
Ceramic coating of the cylinder head combustion chambers keeps the heat in the chamber thus increases hp and reduces detonation.
Powerkote cbx ceramic thermal barrier coating.
Coatings add an insignificant amount of height to the top of the piston so je s thermal coating is compatible with pretty much any piston dome or dish shape as well as features like gas porting.
The consensus is that if you want to increase engine output putting thermal barrier coatings on exhaust headers piston tops cylinder head combustion chambers and cylinder head exhaust ports.
Creates a hard surface specifically designed for engines running high volumes of fuel and or high compression ratios or closed chamber heads.
Applying a ceramic coating to a combustion chamber s cylinder head and exhaust ports helps circulate exhaust gas at a faster pace while providing a more intense burn in the chamber.
For all other applications use cbc2 above.
12 5 1 compression ratios nitrous oxide n2o supercharged or turbocharged.
Coating the combustion chamber of a cylinder head can increase performance in addition more compression can be run as the coating will provide resistance to detonation.
This coating can also improve thermal transfer between the gas and the cylinder head and an additional heat dispersal coating can help cool the head.
Each has its own set of parameters for use.
