Nothing wrong with trying. I just don't see where its going to make any difference. How much did it cost to have the rotors done?

Looks like this (except Swain Tech did mine)...

Swain Tech does rotors, too. They did mine.

For pictures and much debate over why coating the rotors may or may not be worthwhile, see this thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...d+rotors+Swain

Also, before anyone asks, my car is not running yet, so I don't know if the coating helped, hurt, or was merely pointless. Don't ask, I don't know!

I wonder how many people on this forum have actually had their rotors and pistons ceramic coated?

Oh, and other engine parts.

Less than 10?

I wonder how many people on this forum actually know what they're talking about when discussing thermal efficiencies in engines?

Remember when batman tried to tell us all about the anti-det device? I think the majority of his higher learning ability ends at "cut and paste".

Please post the results of this when you get them.

It's nice to see some experimentation with materials happening in rotary engines. With relatively low production runs, Mazda seems to be happy to stick with the tried and true ways of doing things, although there is probably a better way...
