well done!hope to see some more!
keep up the good work

 

That is awsome, if I only had another daily. What coating is that on the piston. Can't wait to see more. I'm still new to the alternate forms of boosting (i.e. Rotrex or turbo) but why the rotrex and not turbo.

 

Looking good Bryan!

What are the volume/cc of those pistons crowns and cylinder head chamber?

Good call on coating the crowns....you'll never burn through them! I think my Dad and I may go down that route if we want to up the boost on our 1293cc Turbo Mini build.

Jeremy

 

What is the coating on the tops of the piston and the cylinder head combustion chambers?

What does it do for you?

Where's the Rotex?

What's the box with the light in it do?

 

hey this should be good. what's that coating on the cyl.combustion chamber?
also leak some info on the stroke specs. gonna paint the block? give the whole preface pls . this is gonna be good .

 

Awesome stuff. You should have a bullet proof engine with the billet parts and Swain Tech coatings.

 

Gonna grab the popcorn for this one...

 

Hell I'm sitting here with Buttered Popcorn, Nachos.

 

Log me on for this one too, gonna be SWEET LB!!!

 

Here are some more pic's.

So you have one of those hats with built in drink holders and straws or three ARMS!! sorry..I'm drinking and posting

 

Nice work Longboard keep us updated. BTW what is the gold coat?

 

OK let's see if I can answer some of your question's.

The coating are from Swaintech in NY. After spending a lot of time researching these guys just kept moving to the top of the list. They are the best from what I can tell. The piston tops is there TBC GoldCoat Ceramic Armour. The piston skirts, main and rod bearings are coated with their Poly Moly solid film lubricant coating. The heads combustion chambers and exhaust ports are coated with their TBC coating.

What does all this cool stuff mean?? You will have to wait and see. I will show all the dyno charts as things progress.

Why am I coating things black? Because I don't drive an import . The block and tran's will get painted silver. I'm spending time detailing all kinds of things because I'm a little crazy and like thing a certain way .

Just me,

LB

 

Good for you man. Nothing like a good drink on a Wednesday . I'm a crazy big Irish guy so I can drink without using my arm's if I need to . I'm a bad guy to party with because while most die off I keep on going like the Energizer bunny .

Just me,

LB

 

i can keep up ...

 

not entirely sure that's a good thing hmmm

 

awesome....
but now you make me want this...

 

Good luck with the installation and tuning. Hopefully many will follow in your footsteps...

 

I had my block painted silver / gray, and have been very happy with the results. What kind of coating is on the intercooler? The last time I saw it, it was still bare aluminum.

 

Please tell me the gold, heat reflective tape is NOT the F1 tech! If it is I've got an F1 tech CAI!

 

I really like what you're doing with this. Looking forward to seeing the final numbers.

 

so whens judgement day?
so i can catch up when things get interesting,
will it be all hp and tq or will you be sharing some temp numbers as well
been doing a fair bit of coating myself recently so will be watching to see how you get on....

good luck

 

What is that black box with light?? Is that a tank for something?

 

a fancy water/meth tank
