That's how you give old turbos new life; mighty fine work there, sir! I started on an equally ancient Schwitzer, moved up to an S485 and am now scratch building an axial 180mm engine. It's been a hellacious voyage, let me to you.

@@MrTurboturbine this is pretty cool , i have no engineering experience and managed to build one of these turbojet engines maybe 10 years ago ,used a T-3 Garett off a mitsubishi car engine to build my first one ,,,for the last 8 years i have been working on an axial flow jet engine it has a 3 stage turbine with 120mm turbine blades made from titanium the first compressor stage is a 140 mm titanium fan with 20 blades and the second compressor stage is 120 and the 3rd is 100 the hard part was finding someone who could make me the precision shaft which goes through 2 turbocharger center sections ,, the entire unit is 18 inches long ,the compressor section feeds 6 small cumbustor cans which are focused on the first turbine wheel ,, i fired it for the first time just before christmas 2021 and was surprised that it runs very well ,,it only turns about 75000 rpm compared to a turbpcharger based unit that might turn 170K ,,hardest part of this build was finding someone who could make the shaft and the turbine wheels

I have wanted to make a turbine jet engine from an old auto turbo since i saw one on you tube years ago. I just got a garrett turbo off a desiel Mack. I know the basics and have been making crude pulse jets and forced induction jets but have been self taught from reading abd expermitation. What is a good source for the math and basic geometry of the combustion chamber size/ ratio to intake and exhaust diameters? Is your primary cc between the air outlet tube and exhaust inlet tube ( under the main turbo you have) and is the long tube placed after the exhaust outlet on yours an afterburner which spools up the turbines by pulling as opposed the primary cc as pushing? Correct me if i am wrong. Awesome set up by the way....i have a LONG way to go. Lol

@@JetEnginesIndia I believe it would be borosilicate/Pyrex. But glass would be fine, not polycarbonate. It doesn't need high ratings, 250 F 100 PSI is more than enough, unless it's in direct flame contact, you might need something more exotic.

Hi, I'm in the process of building a similar jet. I'm using a 68mm journal bearing turbo from a diesel truck. I'm stuck trying to find oil pressure info. Please can you tell me what oil weight you use and at what oil pressure you run at? Thanks for any help.

@MrTurboturbine Жыл бұрын

Anywhere between 15 and 30 psi is fine. I adjust the speed of the pump to adjust oil pressure. I use normal 10W-30 synthetic. Heavier oil tends to make it a little slower to start. An oil cooler is necessary.

Best advice I can give you is to use propane as a fuel source, a needle valve is all you need to control fuel flow. you don't need fancy stainless steel parts, regular exhaust pipe will do. you need a decent oil pump, a hydraulic gear pump will work well. you need an oil pressure gauge, and an EGT gauge so you don't melt the turbine. you need basic metal working equipment.

thanks for that. I have a t50 turbo wrapped up in the same build but using single nozzle atomizing setup. One more thing if you don't mind. It appears you are doing some type of preheat in the beginning. Is that to preheat the combustor for ease of fuel igniting when injected? Or is it to preheat oil for ease of spoolup? Does this preheat also stay on during ignition basically being a pilot light?And is the preheat coming through the same fuel system or is it separate like propane for example. Awesome build by the way

@@SERIAL_PYRO yes, the preheat fuel is supplied from the same pump for the main fuel. It's a .5 gph Delavan nozzle used to preheat the main fuel evaporator tubes and turbine bearings.
