We have tested this on a turbochargers heat shield, and aircraft parts which we are currently in test phase with. We will release some measurable test results in the coming months in both Automotive (on the ground) and Aviation related tests.
@@TurboDirectSA Haha love the videos - Being a polymer chemist and a motorhead - I have always wondered how much gains can be made with all the different coatings on the market - that would be intake to keep cool - piston head to control unneeded detonation and exhaust coatings to keep the heat energy and spool faster - There is no good thorough answer out there.
@@cyanomethane Precisely what i will be testing and proving once and for all - coatings are a VERY controversial topic, and many are opinionated about it. The facts remains that thermal loads are any engines enemy, BUT when "managed / guided" properly it doesn't have to be. Piston coatings (im talking about the deck of the piston, not the sides) is a total waste of time WHEN RELATED TO DETONATION - no micron thin coating will resist detonation, nor will it extend the life of a piston during detonation. Its not alway about keeping cool - it's more about "managing / directing" the thermal loads depending on the application, as i will demonstrate in the upcoming videos. Thermal loads "reduce" the diameter of piping in certain circumstances, this affects air flow, and has a direct pressure effect - Heat = energy -- which is in essence what drives a turbine through blade excitation and induced vibration. Lots of juicy info coming soon .... :-)
@@TurboDirectSA Glad to hear that there are gonna be some cold hard numbers and facts. Something that gets overlooked in this marketing heavy world we live in. Btw any ideas on what all can be done to a 2005 Merc E320 cdi VNT turbo -its an old garrett I believe and since then there might have been a newer VNT system too- there are some hybrid applications I have seen from Darkside developments in the UK - But I am asking what can be done beyond that. This particular model is a workhorse of the 2000s - used as a taxi in many parts of Europe and frankly is a rare find in the USA - Iron block and tunable. Need mine to breathe more :) Any ideas?
@@cyanomethane Firstly - PolYmer is corrected - thanks for the heads up. The Merc C320CDI has 4 turbo variants - which one you running? 770895, 765155, 777318 and 802774 -- OK the later is the ball bearing model - so rule tat one out - but rule it in too - upgrade its compressor with a forged wheel like our GTX2876R and you making come decent power that you can you boost high (because of the ball bearing cartridge)
I am excited. Look forward to seeing your test results.
awesome, we are excited
Thanks pal ... much appreciated.
Looking forward to the testing. Looks awesome!
Thanks alot
Link for the testing if it's out? Thanks! I've actually been following this product for a while but have seen many real-world testing.

Do you have any pricing yet for the Zycor products?
Sorry Raymond not at the moment.
That should be Polymer - with a "y"
You are 100% correct - ill get the editing team to correct it and ill update the thumbnail shortly
Apologies about that :-(

Oh man! I can't wait to see those testing and how it compares to ceramic coating
Thanks for the comments
How were the tests? recommend this type of treatment?
Sounds too good to be true. You mention Ceramic stuff is expensive but I imagine this is multiple levels more expensive.
Polymers are less costly than Ceramics for a number of reasons.
Does his coating come on the cast 3582?
Not as yet
Cant wait to see your tests!
Thank you for the comment
This stuff ceramic based? Interesting it can be ran inside of the exhaust parts not just the outside
The product is not ceramic based at all - its a polymer based coating.
you can use it inside I've seen them blank off manifold exits and pour liquid inside swirl it around then drain it and it works well.
