my homebuilt turbojet engine

[lemegacool]

so... here it is... my homemade gas turbine i built when i was 18...(i'm 19 now lol). she is ready for testing... (those are old pics) now she is complete.

custom made combustion chamber & flame tube
custom made oil tank...
well everything is custom made

only the oil pump costed me 125$ so i'll let you guys bet the total build price...

i dont know what to say more so if you have question dont be shy!

INSANE MACHINE PRON!

yaeh i'm going to try to fire it tomorrow (on propane only for testing) later i plan on running it on diesel... but i think the ignition is still too weak... we'll see.

MOAR PICS construction...

[lemegacool]

should put out about 60 pounds on diesel (enough to move a kart)
and i designed the jet pipe so it can act as a flame holder for an afterburner but i wont put one for now on... seeing as the a/b burns more fuel than the turbine itself! lol (and wear the engine faster) and st-50 turbos are not cheap LOL!

and no lol the shopping cart is done. the jet will probably just sit on the test bench... (way too much money invested in it)

3" at the wheel its huge!

[jr dragster Tyler]

3" at the wheel is big. This is by no means a Honda turbo. It comes off a 6 cylinder in line Cummins Diesel.
