To be honest, I was informed by one of my mechanics. I have no idea about the technical details on that. I do remember from science class that ceramic is one of the most heat resistant materials known to man. Therefore it would be able to withstand the high intensity heat of the nitrous shot, and the elevated temps, involved with boost.

TBC - Thermal Barrier Coating

It is used all the time to coat gas turbine blades. Do a search on the web and you will find info.

 

Hold on a sec. Are you actually talking about running a stroker, boost and nos. If so I though that running a high boost turbo was getting extreme for this car but I think things have been taken to the next level.

 

I just spoke with the guy, and he said that it does not even get bored out. It is just different size pistons. The compression is still high, but will most likely be in the high 9's or 10.0 to 1. Wich will allow for a little more boost with the same amount of pressure on the engine, which means what folks????? More torque. The kit alone is supposed to give around 50-70 on the torque. I will keep everone posted as I go thru the process. I will have to give up the car for a week.

I don't understand, How do you get 2.3 liters if you don't bore out the engine?

I have no idea how it actually works, but here is the link to see ihttp://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/catalog-detail.php?ID=138t

 

I'm pretty sure that you have to bore out the engine.... do a search on the kit cause there was previous discussions.

A stoker increases the stroke of the engine with a new crank, connecting rods and pistons usually. I have no idea about this kit for our car but the increased displacement comes from increasing the stroke. Engine displacement defines the volume in cubic inches that is displaced as the cylinders are moved from top-dead-center to bottom-dead-center. Engine displacement is calculated with the following formula: ((3.14159*(bore*bore)*stroke) / 4) * # cylinders. Adding a "stroked" crank and new rods and pistons allows the pistons to travel farther and therefore increases the displacement. Short and simple, whatever this kit for our car includes must increase the piston travel enough mm's to give it a new displacement of 2.3L. I could do the math but I'm lazy

 

Move the rod pin up on the piston, and lengthen the rod. This will cause the chamber to have more volume on the down stroke.

The problem with doing this is the angle of the rod to the crank goes past square. When you go past a square angle, the piston will press against the cylinder walls with more force.

Add boost and NOS!!! This will further increase this friction. My quess is that you will be re sleveing this beast often! ( along with the piston rings) Along with replacing everything from the tranny back. Let's say that you can beef up all the parts, how streetable will the car be?

I think the largest set of wheels that will fit under the S is a set of 10 inchers. I hope you plan on buying some, Or a stock S will leave you at the line, while you spin your dirty Sanches marks all over the payment.

I hope I am wrong, and you can make this work. I also hope that you have LOTS of money, cause that is what it is going to take!

Gook Luck!!!!

[B]I think it will be able to, because it will have a little lower compression, and I am also thinking about having the heads ceramic coated.
