Hi David How is your oil drain from the turbosetup, is oil backing up into the turbo and forcing past the seals, the seals are there to stop the gases getting...
Hi Tom Hang in there, it'll be worth the wait :-)) Let us know if there's anything else thats a bit of a worry ,I might be of some help. Cheers John ... From:...
Hi Tom, I have just taken a look at your flame tube. It looks like there may be way too many holes in it. If you ask Mike Early nicely he has some really good...
Thanks Chris, that's what i was trying to explain. By restricting the gaseous fuel flow, the pressure BEFORE it leaves the injector will be higher. Bernoulli...
Good Morning John / All I thought an update would be in order, seeing as this forum is what has teken me this far. Last night I think is the closest we have...
I might get a big cat turbocharger. This turbo has a rusted exhaust housing and the compressor housing has been taken off. The condition is unknowen but it...
Oil leakage is not as it should be. Either the litle oil seals are worn out and leaking or the bearings are worn and cousing off center movement causing oil...
I know I keep throwing loads of semi useless ideas and info at folks, but it's meant well..............so here's a bit more. To get the blast of air you...
There is no such thing as a minor crack in a turbine. I have seen certain turbines repaired when they have sustained damage, but that required expert skills...

I think the oil drain is the problem. After coming out of the turbo, the oil goes through a 3/8" pipe to an oil cooler, then back to the pump. I'll relocate...
This is the same guy that sold me my turbo.... Yeah, they are huge, but shipping is about a gagillion dollars... so make sure your ready to drive a ways... :) ...
Hey Guys.. Having a problem getting the turbine to start. We welded a socket onto a 3500 rpm electric motor and tried that.. needless to say.. no go. I was...
Hi Tom May I suggest looking for just a blower, rather than a blower-vac which would needs larger clearances to accomodate the stuff being sucked up, A...
Hi David Yep , sounds like whats needed,:-)) The drain needs to be at least the diameter of the outlet hole on the turbo, posibly even bigger if its long and...
What about a starter motor from a motor cycle.. I am looking at the starter that Chris used on the DS6, that seems like a good idea... I could just weld a...
Hi Tom Your gunna need a few more rpm than 3500 :-)) How big was the electric motor , probably need a coupla horsepower and 10 - 15,000 rpm, you need what...
... Tom, I use a 25000 rpm 1/2 hp sears router to start mine. works every time. I have damaged the router after about 40 starts as I have been using a...
Wow. Thats a great idea. My only problem is that my turbine spins counter clockwise, and I think all routers spin clockwise. This is why I think I need to...
I used a Honda starter motor. It has an internal gear reduction which was removed. It spins 18,000 free and will spool the turbo up to 8,000 cold. My turbo...
Those turbochargers look a little on the old side, like my D6S that blew apart. The turbine wheel on some of the older turbochargers are made of stainless...
I thought we where talking about routers and not blowers... Or you mean the coolingfan in the router??? If it´s the coolingfan in the router: i´t doesn´t...

Hello all, just a few more questions. I just saw a guy who looked like he hooked two ignition coils together in his ignition system. Did he just hook the...
i dont think the large fuel filter will work the density's are to far apart.im pretty sure you can find an iol filter place ment at the junk yard that where i...
The fuel filter might be ok when the oil heats up, but might be too restrictive when its cold. I picked up a nice aluminum remote oil filter mount off Ebay....
One other thing that comes to mind is that the fuel filter may not be able to surive the heat as it isn't really designed for that. ... From: Rick Reid To:...
