Cermet B, Who has it? How does it make you feel?

We know it makes the metal stronger so less grooving. I would have to call them but from what we have seen yes it wears less. Cryo is very cheep though 75$ a housing.
One of the upcoming things I want to test is. Cryo Eshaft, stats having the assembly balanced if I can achieve more REVs from the crank not flexing as much and the stats being much stronger.

I think the point he is trying to make there is that the E-shaft is extremely strong from the factory and cryo treating it would most likely be useless.
But...
If you could cryo treat the ring gears (stationary and rotor) then you would definitely be able to make a high revving motor, seeing as these are the parts that normally fail at high revs dues to cracking and deformation. I'd be really interested to see the wear rates on cryo treated ring gears in a high revving application. It would make some of those super expensive (high rev) gears that certain companies make completely useless if you could simply make the stock gears stronger.
I also want to cryo treat my air pump in addition to my alternator.

Your link doesn't work. I'm not trying to build an engine that red's at 12k rpms. That would require a whole lot of money. So I'll save the cryo treated e-shafts for the race teams.

Yes that is nice but what I am saying is dont be an *** about it he is taking time to explain a valid solution for a real problem and you come back with "cryo my alternator" Just keep an open mind when people are trying to enlighten you.
Fixed the link sorry.

I'll be honset, I looked at that Eshaft page and it IS nice, but I have no idea when I should use it. At what RPM does the Eshaft flex? I've only heard of Eshaft failure once and it was a complete freak accident (it snapped in half). I've heard stories of a stock Eshaft spinning to 14k rpm. Now I am certain the rotors were race clearanced so now I am curious at what rpm does race clearancing become neccesary?
I really would like those answers though, not trying to be an ***, just trying to see a different point of view.
But to be honest, I'd probably race clearance because it costs less.

Someone in the RX-8 forum said he was going 11.5k rpms with no problems. I did a search for eccentric shaft flex in google and it came up. The only positive to cryo treating the e-shaft is to raise the rpm roof of it. How high is that roof? We don't know. Will it work better then the two piece e-shaft? Don't know. But it would be a cheaper alternative to the two piece. Race clearencing will make the rotor operate better above 8500rpms but how high will it go. And if the stock e-shaft can go to 11.5k like the RX-8 guys says, or even 10k with out older engines, that is still alot higher then 8500rpms. I don't think there is any use for cryoing an e-shaft because no one will be making an engine that reds at 12k or 14k or whatever, unless this is like a racecar that a group of people can drop a load of money into.

does anyone know what JBH's definition of a "re-usable" core is? I thought it doesn't really matter how many miles a housing has seen or what condition it's in because it going to be machined, resurfaced, and machined again.

They remove the chrome facing from the housing, so anything that isn't warped or where the coolant passages aren't damaged. Any damage in the facing itself, like something that went through the chrome facing, won't be usable.

If cryogenics means better heat x-fer like I think you are saying, and the cryo treated cars aren't showing extra heat in the cooling system, then either cryo doesn't do **** or someone doesn't know what the **** is going on.
I can always upgrade my radiator or what-not to increase cooling, but I can't just magically make my rotors/housing/seals last longer... WITHOUT some sort of treatment, whether it be Cermet or Cryogenics.
Your saying that the cooling has neither risen nor dropped due to cryo treatment. So nothing has changed. That's why people think your drunk.
To clarify, I'm not saying that it will NEED better cooling. All I'm saying is, who cares about the cooling factor? That's not the main point of the treatment.
What's the different between A and B?
I just don't think people are getting the idea of the cryogenic treatment. IT MAKES YOUR ENGINE MORE DURABLE. Whether it's worth the money or not is up to you. I can't say how much cryogenic treatment affects our engines, but it has been PROVEN to provide increased hardness in metals along with dimensional stability.
I also don't think people are grasping the idea of Cermet's. Believe it or not, plain metal isn't the best substance available for every application. There's a reason Cermet's have been developed.
In general they provide better thermal characteristics, lower friction coefficients and increased durability. They're made for high strength/high heat situations... gasp... like an engine.
Now, whether or not the upgrade is worth the cost... we'll see.
