Coatings = win.
Im a believer, but you wouldn't believe how many people will tell you there's no science in it.
I figure if its good enough for Cosworth, its good enough to use, and for the cost of it, its worth a try.
Competition coatings are one of the only places that have truly effective coating products, from what Ive read and researched, world leaders infact, I know Peter went and taught some Japanese tuning shops how to do some coatings in the last couple of years, seems its more of a European market thing than an asian one. Its still catching on in Japan.
The piston coatings look just like whats done to the stock piston in my CRF 450r from Honda, Black low friction skirts and ceramic on top, should help conserve some energy.
Im really keen to see what this thing pulls. Would have to be an easy 200KW on 8-10PSI.
Looking hot. Id like to do the same thing one day maybe.
