Hi Hans Thanks for the dimensions, it appears a reasonably balanced set flow wise, so here's a rough guide of what to expect. Compressor has good inducer -...
Ok guys, help me out. I've been doing a lot of research lately, and I'm very intrigued about this hobby. I would like to build a turbo powerd gokart (remote...
After carefully studying plans I have constructed a propane-powered gas turbine engine around a Garrett T-3 turbocharger. I have one question concerning this...
Larry, That seems about right Just don't spin it without oil pressure. The oil pressure and temperature will have a lot to do with how easily the turbo...
Remoted controlled? Isn't sitting in it at full thrust more than half the fun? And what would happen if control was lost? Something about a 200 lb cart...
Ok, isn't the boost pressure proportional to the rpm? The tach is the easiest for me, because I am a electronic engineer. The hardest problem to solve was the...
Ian, Welcome! You said you've already read many of the postings here, so that should give you a pretty good idea of which aspects of building a DIY GT are...
Ahhh, on the subject of oil pumps..... two manufacturers spring to mind. 1. SHURflo 2. FLOjet my last oil system used a 12V 70A gear pump! which supplied way...
Hi guys, some of you asked for a reminder about Junk Yard Wars. Jet trikes airs tonight at 9:00 on TLC (Ch 34 in Mississauga) I hope you enjoy the show. Mark...
i would if i could see it over here in the UK.................maybe one of you nice guys could tape it and ship it over here to the UK where i could capture it...

the problem is finding a good server to put it up on. Converting it to divx, mpeg or whatever is no problem. ... From: Paul's Microjets...
it doesn't really matter, i'd capture it to AVI and burn it to cd, get everyones address who wants a copy in uk, send out a copy and each person copies the...

... It would violate copyright to do so. If you do, please let me know, so I can get a copy, too. --William...
Hi Christoph Boost pressure is roughly "proportional" to tip speed squared, (compressor efficiencies at differing rpms come into it as well.) so we idle at...
Hi all Good idea Paul, I would love to see it as well. let me know what's happening, and i will forward my details. Cheer's Phil ... get ... person ... wants...
Yes, I currently have a Shurflo unit on order myself. A couple things to keep in mind when dealing with Shurflo and Flojet pumps: 1) These are diaphragm...
Very cool Mark and Chris. I didn't know you could go so fast with that giant space heater, Mark :) How many BTUs did that baby put out? :) Congrats to you...

It may seem a bit sticky when turning by hand. This is because there is straight metal to metal contact with no oil film to reduce friction. At deceleration...
Dang, I missed it. This accursed old age thing, making me fall asleep.... oh well beats the alternative. Hmmmmm,.........If the copy that someone made for...
Mark, Chris, I wouldn't let my mother-in-law on either of those things........... thanks for the much anticipated JYW episode. It was better than I could...
Hi to everybody. I was wondering if someone out there had some old plans to build a turbine engine using a turbo off of an old motor, and if they did if they...
