tizzle Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 2000 degree titanium colored satin coat. Just sounds pretty. Got the headers on yesterday. I don't know how Will did this in 15 minutes, because it took me a very long time. I had to replace the turbo cooling hoses with longer ones due to the new placement of the turbo, but luckily I have extra hosing sitting around. I also did a port/polish on the extra turbo I had sitting around. So part of the time I spent was on replacing the turbo. The results I'm very happy with. Definitely more power, and in places where it never existed before! So now I gotta figure out how to finish of the exhaust system, and put the downpipe on. ---todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Does this company make stuff for NA cars? I would love a bigger exhaust from engine to tail pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 just for the ea82-t.....Oh yah, forgot to mention the company that did this was http://www.performancecoatings.com out of Auburn, WA. I recommend them highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Man, that header looks gorgeous. And with that ceramic coating to help hold the heat in the pipe, you should gain a couple horsepower on top of what the header will provide alone.

avatar382 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 How much did the ceramic coat run you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Wow! Todd, that looks very nice. Should be nice for turbo spoolup as well. Way to go! Wish I had this done before installation to help protect my power steering lines and the oil pan. Ah well! I don't know how long I'm going to keep this car anyhow. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 That almost looks too nice to put on a car. Almost.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ya, I did this mostly because of the power steering lines and whatnot, but also for any possible performance gains...oh ya, and it looks so pretty. It was $120 with tax I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 That looks really snazzy, and should be very beneficial. Sounds like the price was pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marck Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I got my TWE header HPC coated. It is only good to I think 1300 degrees, but that was all I could afford. I chose the polished aluminum color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marck Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 1300 degrees celsius right? If it's Fahrenheit, there's going to be trouble. It is fahrenheit. I talked with the people at HPC. They said that they had a guy doing wrx headers for a sandrail and he never had any problems. Also, the coating has a life time guaranttee. If the coating melts off, then they will recoat it for me or they said I can add the additional price and get it extreme coated which can go beyond 2000 degrees. So I am not worried.

I just thought that Subarus typically rung between 1450-1550F stock. I know my Outback Sport did, whether it was turbo'd or N/A. 1550F was when it was pretty hot and humid outside during the summer. That's why I mentioned what I did about 1300F. Good luck! It looks nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Has anyone else gotten this done? Can turbos be ceramic coated? If so, maybe it could help some of you with the stock turbo setup. It's not nice to #3 cylinder you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Turbo's can be ceramic coated as well. The stuff is great, my pipes don't get as hot, and cool off very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nice to #3 cylinder you know. Yeah, I'm still thinking about having this done to my turbo when I get back. If anyone has their block apart for a rebuild, and you're looking for some extra ponies along with keeping good combustion efficiency and what not, look into getting this done to the crowns of your pistons and also the piston skirts(the place where you get alot of friction from side to side movement). It is worth it no matter which way you look at it. Besides, ceramic on metal doesn't hardly wear at all. Aahhhh...........Think of the possibilities!!!!!
