Zircotec - Ceramic exhaust manifold coatings

[hippyross]

I like to hug trees anyway .

Seriously though, I know it may be against the trend, but I don't mind taking the hit power wise with the cat.

It still passes emissions anyway, just offset it with cutting out some dairy and beef

Neither of those have a sports cat option .

Also the Piper isn't far behind the Toda power wise and is a fraction of the price.

Just run decat if it's a track toy then, don't worry about mot! N/A tuning on a Honda is too expensive for so little gain imo.

I still want to be able to use it on the road

Have you tried the guys at Owen Developments?
Heard good things about them. They have now launched their own Turbo housings, but I know they also sell Garrett housings.

Nope, but thanks for the link, good site, could be useful.

I've had 3-4 EP3's pass no problem without the cat Neil.

Exhaust with removable cat in it for MOT purposes.

Buy Tegiwa 'Toda knock off' decat manifold.

Best of both worlds.

You mean like this one?
Tegiwa Toda Replica 4-2-1 Exhaust Manifold B-Series
It seems nice, but don't particularly enjoy those weldings...

That one's definitely not going to fit the K20.

I had one on a FN2, bought it used and the quality was spot on. No issues with welds or cracking. It's onto it's 3rd owner now and still going.

How much would you be talking for 2.5-3ft pipe ceramic coated? 2.5" in diameter?

I presume no where in NI offers these style of coatings?

The best way is to five them a call. ;-)

I remember that F40LM rebuild that had a very detailed build blog used zircotec coating iirc and there was lots of annoyance at the amount of debris inside the manifolds that would have damaged the turbos. They were returned a few times and eventually they had to sort it themselves from memory.

I remember that F40LM problem too as I was looking into ceramic coating at the time.
