Competition Coatings

Why Coating?

Competition Coatings have a selection of high performance ceramic coatings for HEAT, WEAR and FRICTION applications for use in all engines.
Two major targets of engine builders are increasing HORSEPOWER and DURABILITY. Usually when achieving an increase in horsepower, you lose some durability, but by using competition coatings you can increase horse power and gain durability. The ceramic coating protects engine parts from heat and wear, while reducing friction, increasing thermal efficiency and overall reliability.

The advantages of coating intake manifolds with a combination of coatings is that it allows intake manifolds to run cooler, there by enhancing performance.
 
The bottom and head flange areas are coated with a lubricated thermal barrier.This coating will dissipate heat more rapidly then bare metal. In addition to allowing the manifold to "run cooler" the coating provides excellent protection against corrosion and is unaffected by fuels and solvents normally used around the engine. the rest of the manifold exterior is coated with a ceramic thermal barrier and is a must, where higher bonnet temperatures are a problem. Manifolds coated in this way will provide a denser air/fuel mixture and improved performance.
The process of coating intake manifolds is applicable to all cast iron and aluminium manifolds, or any custom fabricated intake such as the one shown above

Testing has shown significant power increases on a dyno. In addition certain changes can be made in such areas as tolerances, timing, jetting and the lubricants used, that will increase torque and Horse Power and are only possible through the use of the Competition Coatings. Horsepower gains of up to 20 hp have been measured in independent dyno testing.
Parts will run cooler. Engine oil and water temperatures have shown a reduction. On exhausts the radiated heat will be substantially reduced leading to a lower underbonnet temperature and less heat absorption by nearby parts and surfaces

The advantage of coating pistons with BOTH Ceramic Thermal Barrier and Dry Film friction reducing coatings are:

Pistons are the engines weakest link when it comes to heat. How often will you read of competitors dropping out of races because of burned pistons. All good engine builders know that tunig an engine for “optimum lean”, maximizes horsepower by generating more heat in the combustion chamber. However, if too lean a mixture is run, pistons will be heat damaged (black death, skirt scuffing, “holed” pistons or missing top ring gland). Oxygen and fuel is spark ignited under compression to generate heat. The heat causes gaseous products of combustion to expand rapidly, forcing the piston downwards for the power stroke. Generating more heat causes more gas volume expansion (more H.P) but can also melt or burn aluminum pistons. Leaning down the air-fuel mixture to where oxygen is proportionally too high can cause metal to be burned away (oxidized), just like an oxy-acetylene cutting torch. Competition Coatings Ceramic Thermal Barrier will insulate from excessive heat and effectively protect from oxidation.

We have two type of Coating,Ceramic Coating and Colour Coating
All machining work should be done BEFORE coating.
All Coating process we do in Australia take 2-3week back to you
