Excuse me for my lack of knowledge. Just consider me as ignorant and explain it to me as you would to a child :-) I'm just getting into building a turbo and...
Hi! This post is a bit off topic, so bear with me. This is probably a good place to ask anyway. I am interestined in buying a small turboshaft engine to power...
the garrett is a constant speed turbine, it doesn't like to have a load at less than 100% speed ... From: c_henrikson2004 [mailto:carl.henrikson@...] ...
Hi Rick, Welcome to the world of DIY turbines! As for your flame tube question, most of the flame tubes I've seen have been cylindrical. A good thing to do as...
Hi Rick P Stick with the cylinder , much easier to fabricate the bits, and they work OK. Cheers John ... From: "country boy" <countryboy74403@...> To:...
Yes I am aware of the fact. Of course a free power turbine is the best choice but a single axis turbine could be coupled to a load with a variable transmission...
Aye John and it's really scarey when it comes from the manufacturer! The thing that makes me think "eh?" is that they list the HX40 as suitable for 7-10 litre...
Thanks! Fabrication is not that much of a major issue to me. I have been doing that sort of thing for years. Racket Motor Man <racketmotorman@...> wrote: ...
Thanks ! ! ! I have, I have and I'll go back and look at Rick's Toy. I just like to get as close to right as possible in this project. (I know there is no...
Hi Rick P If you've had fabrication experience it should be "a piece of cake" making up the necessary bits, Enjoy the experience :-)) Cheers John ... doing...
Hi Bruce I was given a few "unhelpful" bits of info from a major turbo repair facility early on , and they cost me a lot of dollars ,so now I do the maths and...
Hi all, I would like to get an opinion about using a fuel injector from a car as the injector for my engine. I have a Holset 55x turbo charger. I have a couple...

The spark plug and ignition coil I'm using should only need 12V to work, but even when I set it up with 30V, the spark seems incredibly weak. I'm using 6V...
Hi Jonboy A timely reminder to everyone about using anything other than metal tubing anywhere near the hot parts of our engines ,if members read all the info...
What driver circuit are you using? And what kind of spark plug and what gap? At first blush I would say your lantern batteries are plenty. The "fatness" of...
after a few close calls of my own(unrelated to turbines) the phrase "There is nothing sissy about safety" comes to mind. It is a good phrase and a better...
Try putting your batteries in parallel. Automotive coils can draw 1-2 amps. I suspect that the current limitation of the lantern batteries is causing the...
