The Benefits Of Garrett Ball Bearings

News, Products

Typically, most turbochargers either use a journal or a ball bearing system – or a variation of one of these themes.

The journal bearing system: A solid bearing system which contains a thrust bearing and a set of journal bearings.

MDX607 With Zircotec’s Performance Ceramic Coating

Products, Technical

As a proud Zircotec authorised distributor, we were excited to show you one of our latest hybrid turbochargers, the MDX607, with performance white ceramic coating. The thermohold technology Zircotec used in their ceramic coating products not only leave a turbocharger and its manifold looking exquisite, it also has great performance benefits. The coating significantly reduces the heat transfer process between the exhaust manifold and turbocharger, along with other engine parts, providing excellent heat protection. This transferring of heat can be highly damaging for motorcycles and cars as it can reduce component reliability resulting in safety issues, it can reduce engine performance and damage expensive finishes. The performance ceramic coating provided by Zircotec not only protects heat sensitive components, it actually reduces the temperature underneath the bonnet significantly. This lower temperature alters the temperature…
