to build one. Need as much info as I can. www.wpsturbines.com has some very
limited info. Just a picture that says we can put them in sea doo's. Please help
me. Anxious for this.

> I have a newer 1100ZXI Kawasaki jetski with a 3 cylinder OEM 2-stroke motor in
it. I intend to toss one of my Tiernay TT10 turboshafts into it at some point.
The main project will be routing the exhaust and converting the
autostart/constant run control box over to a throttled able control system. The
rpm is 55k and the output at 100% is 12k. I think this will be about nice, but I
may have to put a 2:1 reduction unit in it. You can see what it looks like
stripped out of the genset at:

faces aft, then shaft direction will require vector reversal.

it. I think the shaft mod would be easier.

the original motor (which is still good, I think-have never run it.) I will have
to investigate the original motor specs to see what to expect hp-wise and rpm
wise to drive the waterjet.
