microblue is doing some kick *** work with turbo's--you ought to call Craig. At least visit their site. This stuff is for real.
Part of this years bucket list for me is to get some things done by them.

Very cool! I wonder how much to costs to get journal bearings and thrust collar's done...

Also getting them to do the ring and pinion might do some great things as well...

I'm going to give him a call on Monday and check out pricing.

OD I assume you've asked him about housing coating... What are his thoughts?

he told me to send him the entire engine!
I dont think I am going to do that.
But this year as I build an extra engine I am going to send some parts. Off the top of my head
1- all journal bearings
2- stationary gears
3 - oil pump and chain
4- E shaft
5 - side/corner seals and springs( i will be using ceramic apex seals)

Moom Assad wants me to build a needle bearing rotary with a 11K redline---dont think so lol.

Currently a S2000 guy may want to swap ring gear and pinion with me and if that happens i will be doing my diff in microblue.

I'd send him the irons as well if you are getting the side seals done.

Versus getting them lathed seems like a good idea!

Just got off the phone with Craig, he seems like he knows his ****.

He's going to do my turbo for $200 god knows what he would want for an engine I'm guessing in the $1500 range to start.

Either way it seems like a worthwhile investment.

LOL, microsmurf.

I am very curious to what reliability/performance gains we would see on a rene' getting treated...

The guy knows his **** though he talked a million miles a minute and is super eager to do a complete rotary.

Yep that guy! I'd like to install my turbo the way it is now get it tuned right and see what she pulls. then go for the microblue treatment and see the difference. Peak hp shouldn't change but spool up times should be cut dramatically.

Either way I'm interested in the results. I'd like them to treat my diff next.

this year I am going to build another engine (just for a spare) and I am going to use Microblue on a bunch of things. If I ever do run across a S2 diff at a reasonable price for my budget--i will also do the diff. Amazing stuff.
