Looking to Jet Coat my exhaust manifold and turbo. What is the maximum temperature of a 4BTA exhaust manifold and turbo?

Thanks!

Keep you temps under 1200* and you'll be alright .As far as coating I would see what there temp goes to I would hate to have that done and the temp set at 1200* and for it to burn off.

Thanks

I painted my block with Plasti-kote engine enamel and got a fair amount onto my exhaust manifold and it's still there,(only says 500*) either the stuff is really good or it doesn't get too hot...

I don't know the temp of the manifold but here's some guide lines:

There is a ceramic coat that is advertised to be able to handle 1600* F
Google powder/ceramic coatings

Manifold shouldn't get much over 1300F max.

Idle it will be around 300F.

Cruising it will be like 600-800F.

Jet Hot is some spiffy stuff.

Diesel manifolds run a lot cooler than petrol.
The petrol guys don't seem to have problems with it burning off.

According to the info above; running some of the jet hot products shouldn't be a problem. JETHOT2000

Does anyone know what needs to be done to take apart the turbo so I can have the housing done?

Thanks!

See the "H1C disassembled for rebuild" post. It is on page 2 now.

If you have the turbine housing done I would recommend instructing them not to do the inside of it. There isn't much clearance inside. If they get excessive with the coating it may rub the turbine.
