WPC Treated Bearings
Peak Performance technical team strongly recommends the use of WPC Treated bearings on SR20DET motors. We have found that the stock oil pump is quite weak especially under high horsepower conditions.
DRAG/Drift and Road Race customers may maintain their vehicle in a high RPM status for a long time. During this state, there have been instances where the oil pump can pump faster than the oil can drain. This may cause some oil starvation for brief periods of time. The WPC bearings will help save the motor during this rare conditions. What is WPC?
WPC is a proven process that has been utilized for many years in the racing and automotive industry. WPC is not a coating, it is a treatment that enhances the surface to reduce friction and strengthen engine parts.
WPC achieves this process by firing ultra fine particles towards the surface of a product at very high speeds. The resulting thermal discharge permanently changes the surface, strengthening the ionic structure and creating a harder more durable final product. Why was WPC Developed?
The WPC process was first developed for the 24 hour Le Mans race. It was then introduced into Cart and other open wheel racing. The initial WPC concept has taken off and expanded into all aspects of motor sports. WPC has not only been limited to use in circuit racing, it has also found a strong foothold in the Drag and Rally racing industry as well. Why is WPC Superior?
The WPC process is unrivalled in treating engine parts and other surfaces that have contact points of friction. WPC is superior because it is not a coating; it is a permanent surface treatment that reduces friction while strengthening the part. It's unique micro-dimple formation pattern greatly reduces friction and is unmatched by conventional methods of surface treatment.
WPC has the capacity to treat carburised, nitrated and plated parts without noticeable dimensional changes, and, upon completion of treatment, no further modifications are required of the parts. The strength and durability improvement on the surface after the WPC treatment is unsurpassed by any current methods.
Treatable products include steel, aluminum, titanium, copper and brass and soft surfaced bearings. WPC can treat any metallic item in an assembled state.
