HI
CA is proud to announce we can now provide a race grade ceramic coating service for most metal parts , pistons ,valves , con rods etc .
Once the preserve of rich race teams only , this process coats the component in a heat proof ceramic micro coating , thus preventing heat damage / heat soak / heat transmission .
I have held a propane torch on the underside of a coated M3 Evo piston until it was red hot and could not feel hardly any elevated temperature whist touching the coated face at the same time .
An engine loses between 40 - 55 % of its available power through heat , so coating all the reciprocal parts of an engine is said to increase its power anywhere from 8 - 15 % ....just by applying this coating .
A set of six pistons , rods and bolts will cost about £500 all in to coat , now lets say this only gives a 5% power increase , thats a 15 bhp increase , or say £33 ish per extra bhp , which compares very favourably with the rough average for other forms of tuning , for example :
supercharging £50 / bhp
eisenmann exhaust £ 80 / bhp
will post up images soon
