Like that. It's coated above the #1 ring only
Now as what exactly that coating actually is, 'ceramic' is as far as anyone I've asked knows.

Re:Running turbos in paralell...
I would love to see a twin turbo setup and I think the manifold set up would be pretty simple as well as the charge piping. I am curious to know what would be the best working size turbo though because most small blocks don't rev over 5500RPM's unless they are built and still you might get 7000RPM's with a light build. If you put in some dished pistons and lower the compression some I think you could build a wild car even out of an old 305 Caprice hahah. I have to stop talking now before my imagination gets me in trouble.

Damn...
Even with a stroked out H22 this would be a longshot...
I mean how the hell you gonna get enough air flow to spool up two large turbos? Even if they were the T-25's i got.
As far as i know Porsche were the only peeps to do a TT 4cyl. But that was using sequential turbos. Dont get me wrong is a cool concept, but thats a turbo off of 2 cyl...
mabe @ 10000 RPM. On NOS launch. there is a reason that u dont see anyone running a TT honda...
But its cool to imagine!
and good luck!

Re:Running turbos in paralell...
I just thought I might throw this out in the open.....
A Fiat 1600cc 4-cylinder run @ 30 Psi revving to 13000 RPM produced 959 HP!!!! On an enormous turbo that weighs in at 12 KILOS (OVER 25 LBS!)!!! Of course this was on a track racer that will hardly ever see anything south of 8000 RPM, but just saying huuuuge HP numbers can be pumped out of small engines. Also, the same turbo set at 30 Psi ona 2000cc motor only made 836 HP but revved to a lower 9000 RPM.
If you want to see the turbo go to www.turbo124.com, scroll down and it's hard to miss. And if a single turbo can make that much HP on a fully built motor, I'm sure that a TT setup on a slightly built Honda 1.6 liter could be very, very cool.
I'm about to start piecing together a turbo kit for my 1981 Fiat X 1/9 (2 seater MR 1500CC). I have a friend who just totaled his 92 Talon Tsi that has a 16G turbo on it, and looks like that'll be the snail for it. I'm still in the planning stages, but I'll be sure to keep posting stuff on it.
