Re: turbo jet
I always see instruction on how to build one of those everywhere. Whats your plans? Toss it on a go-cart. How much did it cost to build it and whats all involved with building it like other parts? Thats pretty cool though.

---- where to start, I have included some of the first pics here for you, I will be putting together a complete pic show of all the parts very soon. as far as cost I bought scrap steel for all of it, I bought a battery $20.00 I made the electronic ignition for it myself from parts from radio shack, I would guess I have around $150.00 in it so far. It took 30 days to complete, some on and off time- had to work some too! I really had a great time building it, and look forward to putting it in a rail car I wiil make. I ran it today, 5-23-06 and lost oil pressure, I fried the bearings in the turbo bad, I am looking for another turbo, to complete my testing, I hope to have it in a go-cart style car soon. thanks for the interest! Dave
