Ceramic coating not suitable for spraying at the whole exhaust, it would be very expensive....... Ceramic Thermo wrap would be a lot better....... Ceramic is a goood heat insulator, but a thin layer of ceramic wont do much....

Greddy Pulley kit review for 4AT (just for malaysian):

Ok. i thought my friends have it and i should have it since i drop by wangan.

The out come, it was not good. But it was GREAT!!!! FANTASTIC!!!! it is good stuff!!!

i did a few small mods before, like spark cable, sport spark, MS air filter, u can feel that the power gone up, but the ride gets rough.

After installing the Greddy pulley kit (*note* its not a under power pulley, its a light weight) the car seems like run on cream rather than petrol. it was so smooth and light that i was so amaze. even my GF and my mechanic said its like a miracle. it become a beemer again! best of all its not like other pulley, the size is the same as the original ones, it does not effect the alternator and air-cond. when i push the car, i get 73Km/h at 1st gear, before was 60km/h at 1st gear before auto shift. Un-percaya-able? Believe it! it far most the best mods i ever had.

now my car runs on cream...

yes it is a s class.

for racing beat intake, i think they said wangan have it.

anyway today i consulted mr r.khoo on tuning the greddy kit for rx8, his advise is , leave the engine stock, he had seen too much blown engine after a period of use for the rx8 .... what u guys think ?

I think the problem with turbo kit is the life span.
i have read a lot of aussie review in some magazine recently that they are sayin that rotary car always have problem with the gear box.

Yes, that's very true...... In fact in Japan RX7 is much more expensive to play than RB26, you have to overhaul or replace engine every 30k km or a year.... This is what Trial Japan tuner says.....

yes i am serious, if u are driving any eu cars with obd-2 standards, don't touch it, however for all e46/e39 u could play with the cat since they are still using old standard, but if the backpressure lose too much , u will get the pickup, but never the top speed, think b4 u remove the cat :p go consult jaafar, he seen so much of it already

jaafar has 100cell/200cell free flow cats too, currently out of stock but he can get it if he want, replace it with the restrictive cats the eu cars are having could gain more power as well

hope this helps.

most of the turbocharger nowadays are ball bearing, as long as oiled and cooled properly , the life span would be long enough, of course unless u say engine lifespan, well, rotarys are never known for long lifespan
