We use a proprietary process in which a sleeve comprised of a special aluminum alloy with both high ductility AND strength is fitted to the m96 block. This allows for increased performance while addressing all cylinder issues associated with the M96 engine.
Nickies utilize a highly wear resistance cylinder bore plating (NSC – which stands for nickel, silicon, and carbide) for long life, which is very similar to Nikasil™, as used on the Carrera GT, GT2, GT3, and 911 Turbo engines! Nickies™ feature our superior aluminum alloy up to 66% stronger than than the cast in Lokasil™ bores or MMC sleeves, providing for improved thermal conductivity and reduced wear and friction over original or cast iron sleeves, and allow for larger bores without any loss of strength or longevity.
