Drivetrain My build thread.
My understanding was that the ceramic coatings deflect heat evenly, preventing hot spots on the pistons where detonation may occur. I've disassembled many engines with pockmarks around broken ring lands which I suspected were areas of high temp within the combustion chamber.
Instead of meth, do you have E85 in your area? That would give you a cooling effect similar to water/meth in addition to higher octane.
Also I am waiting for the day that someone runs an N12 head without DI (back to pulsed injectors on a fuel rail). Might be more tuning potential that way, as well as eliminating the carbon problem altogether. Just a side thought that came to mind looking over this thread.
Will be following to see how it turns out!

I am excited to see MNIPWR's results though, I applaud him for keeping us all updated on his build.
MNIPWR...let me know when you're gonna have Jan tune it, I'd like to be there...I'm right by the shop. It will bring back memories of when we spent countless hours tuning my MCS w/ JCW turbo
Until someone develops a full standalone ECU, good luck trying to convert the car to port fuel injection. Even with a fully built motor, the N14 will never be able to reach its full potential without a standalone.

Stand-alone is not necessary for big power and imho is not the way to go.
The MED17 ECU can be made to sing and dance if necessary. If you need more fuel than the stock system can provide when fully tuned there are a few ways to solve that problem while retaining the stock ECU.
Like anything, it depends on your intended use, power goals, and budget.
The OP should speak with his tuner about what, if any, additional changes need to be made in order to reach his goals.
Good luck and have fun.

Not a cheap option though...not to mention that these will only drive the motor, not the cabin!
Port injection has been succeeded indeed in the UK by a company called MiniCraft. They converted the MTR car into port injection with a standalone ECU, aluminum intake manifold, injectors, fuel pumps, large turbo etc...
Sadly it didn't end up well..it caught fire twice while racing and no further info was shared!
There is info about this in www.minitorque.com
Everytime i watch those WRC videos I say, "Man, that engine sounds NASTY! How can I get that engine in my car?!"
Then I remembered that I chose to be an engineer instead of a surgeon for a career choice

With money and time, all things are possible!
That will be easy to locate. Even in the dark. Blindfolded. With the hood closed... ;-)
