DIY ceramic coating for exhaust/turbo
that's not a ceramic coating.. it's a high temp paint.. it might keep the turbo housing from rusting and keep it looking all blingy, but it will do little to nothing to keep heat in the housing and out of the engine bay.
they missed step 1 taking the turbo out lmfao wow that's really cutting corners cheap paint and spray it in the bay!!!!!

he's got a point to many half fast jobs get done and posted up on here do it right or don't do it at all!!!
I agree on doing it the right way, but I also doubt he will stop posting... since Mike Fredrick is the guy that does the Poor Man Mods videos.

and that's not gonna help this site none we have enough people trying to take loop holes
I agree... Again, but nothing you or I can do about them. There is no magical button we can press to eliminate all the dumb @!#$ in the world... If that button existed, trust me... I would be pressing it all day. lol. The best we can do is be glad we are not cheap @!#$ cutting corners. Mike Fredrick is cutting corners and being cheap, but he has not done anything to get someone killed. Most of his mods were cosmetic, but still too cheap for me. lol. If he sticks around long enough, I bet our official JBO A-holes will get rid of him. They have done a great gob so far with a LOT of dumb @!#$.
are we doing that right now I feel like being a (e=mc2) a$$
we started it but sure some others can finish him it im not a official a whole but I know some that will tare this kid a new one lol
A. that @!#$ will burn off in a day or two.
B. Looks totally half assed, not poor man modded.
C. If you want it coated for $10, then grab a bottle of anti-sieze and rub it all over the parts you want high temp coated. Wont rust and stands up to the heat.
Please either quit posting these or post them in the newb section.
lol noob makes sense lol hahahha
this kid has a site for this crap. wow your out to hurt some one are you??? or is it a quick buck that your trying to make off some stupid merch?!?!?!??!
a home made boost controller are you f%@%#&&# kidding me!!!!!
that's one the cheapest things for a turbo kit.
take your own advice build your self a car and let's see how far you get off the junk your making!
I have VHT high-temp paint on my turbo and manifold. It worked so well and lasted so long, I have recommended it to a few friends who didn't want to spend 150-200 on ceramic coating. All of them have also had no issues.
I will say that I did follow the proper instructions though. I heated it on my grill with a thermocouple inside to monitor the heat. You have to do a few heat cycles increasing in temperature with cool downs in between. I am not sure how long it would last doing it in the car, seeing as you cannot follow the heat cycle specs.
It has faded slightly, but there has been no chipping or flaking after a few thousand miles - I would vouch for it any day. It isn't as good as ceramic coat, no doubt, but it does look a ton better than rust, and seems to have kept the heat down a bit too.
Oh, and for what it is worth, I also have a home made boost controller. It too has performed flawlessly, no boost creep.
I sometimes am under the impression that people on here have the "buy it, not build it" mentality (or its close cousin - "you have to pay to play"). I would be the first to agree that there is a time and place to not cheap out, and pay someone to do stuff; but I will always do as much as I can. I would rather try something and find it didn't work while learning something along the way (barring stuff I clearly can't do, like mill a head, make my own pistons, etc).
I believe there is something to be said about doing things yourself, especially when you do the research and spend the time to make something come out nice. I can't speak for everyone, but I get a feeling of accomplishment being able to say that I made something by myself instead of taking the easier way out.

for looks true but this post is $10 (ceramic) coat not make your Turbo/header/manni look good for $10
cht will never compare to true ceramic coats in my eyes
off that subject how many lbs you pushing on your controller this may be interesting to hear
i pushed 16psi on my hardware store build boost controller.

Same here, and my 12 second passes were ran on it too. I only got my Hallman MBC after Qwibby parted out. I have used VHT on my manifold , downpipe, and turbine housing for YEARS with no problems. I would spring for ceramic coating if I had time and motivation to do it all at once, but I'm good for now. That being said.... these videos are forking dumb!!!
Currently #4 in Ecotec Forced Induction horsepower ratings. 505.8 WHP 414WTQ!!!
Currently 3rd quickest Ecotec on the .org - 10.949 @ 131.50 MPH!!!
Ahh, i remember the days of spraying motor parts while they were still in the car...then I turned 17 and stopped doing things the half a$$ed way.
I will agree that VHT coatings can be good when done right. They certainly won't match the heat resisting properties of a true ceramic coat, but if you're looking to rust proof a header, dp, etc, it's definitely the way to go. I've used the VHT flame proof line on several items am have been impressed with it's longevity.
instead of paint, I used anti-sieze on my header and it was amazing. takes the heat and is a nice silver color. Loved it. looked really good and even. Ill have to dig up some pics. VERY cheap solution but looked awesome.

well I guess I have been proved wrong the controller. but I agree with roofy videos are hogwash and the fact he is on this site to get more views is the slap in the face.
As you wish i will stop posting, yes im trying to promote my site, but i made this site to help people...Every single mod that has been done to that car has been done by me except tuning because i dont have a dyno nor am i an experience tuner... I modified the fuel canister to fit a larger fuel pump, i installed a clutch and flywheel, i installed injectors, a crank pulley, i installed lowering springs and sway bars, painting my wheels, took a front lip from a 98 accord and made it fit perfectly to my car, removed the balance shaft in the bottom of my oil pan, installed solid motor mounts/trans mounts, made my own inercooler sprayer system, i made my own rear strut bar installed the cat back exhaust, installed the ENTIRE turbo system, built my boost controller and increased the boost, installed all the gauges (boost, wide band, and oil pressure) and yes i painted the turbo on the car...whats so bad about that? i wouldnt have gotten a different result by removing it, i coated every single centimeter of the exhaust housing and didnt get a spec of over spray anywhere so why should have i removed it? and so what if i "cut corners" its better to work smart and not harder....My moto and my sites slogan is build your car down buy, and i was trying to spread that to the automotive community...cars are my life, they are all i think about, when im not in school im at work which is selling car parts, when im not working im working on my car, when im not working on my car im playing FORZA(3,4) when im not playing forza im in bed trying to sleep but i cant stop thinking about new things to do to my car or thinking of ways to engineer parts for my car, and when im not doing that im actually sleeping and dreaming about my car...so cars are my life...i was only trying to help, a fellow member of this board is a great friend of mine and thats how i found out about this board.....im sorry for bugging you guys and i will no longer post on here.

this vid in completely accurate on how to used the VHT Cereamic paint. And why is it imperitive that you tear down the turbo to paint the scroll housing when it THAT easy to get to lol. bicker bicker bicker
