I was thinking about this as well. Just change the amount of power that is going to the pump to adjust fuel flow. My concern would be that under powering the...
i have done something similiar with my oil pump. I used a variac to control voltage to a drill to power a procon pump. Now, this works with 120VAC but i don't...

Hello all. Matt on your kart i dont see a transmission vent.Are you using one on your kart.I had a problem where after i added 5 PSI of oil pressure in to the...
David, The original set up on the power turbine was not a "positive pressure" system, so you will need to seal her up. Do not add a vent to the power turbine...
Has there been or is there any known record for the continual running of a HOME BUILT DIY Gas Turbine? I have not seen any postings as such but was just...
Does anyone know who, (in the states), you would go, to get the turbo (from a semi truck) rebuilt?? I have a preaty good seal leak and I don't know how to...

Hi John The reason I ask though Is am well familiar with diesels as I drive truck. The conditions under which a turbo charger in a truck is operated at though...
All of the oil lines are secure. When I turn on the oil pump, it goes to 35 psi. When I run the turbo up using an air grinder to about 18000 and stop, the oil...
Hi Darcy Once the turbo is running as an engine there will be positive air/gas pressures on the seals , they then become air/gas seals rather than oil seals ,...
Hi Darcy The rpm/tipspeed/boost levels are rising all the time , some of the problem has been constructing reliable intercoolers that can cope with boost...
Hi Billy The turbos on large diesel engines can be pretty stressed , especially on stationary engines which will often run higher boost levels along with...
I recall that the Holset HX55 is redlined at about 110,000 rpm but that turbo is not huge, but rather middleclass truck. It sure scared me when it ran away due...
The RPM limits are defined in the "Rules of Thumb" (I think that is the section) as 1450 feet/sec tip speed on the compressor or turbine, whichever results in...
