... large Cummins ST-50 turbocharger from a big truck. This should produce enough thrust to propel the bike at a pretty decent rate of speed, and acceleration.
Since this bike will be run on a dragstrip eventually, it will need to accelerate very quickly.

he is gonna die.

His wife is hot


Whitey bends


But man that looks like a fun project. I want to build a turbine powered gokart some day, but with shaft power rather than fan thrust power.

its a jet system combustion in a chamber without compreshon creats heat to propell the turbo than forces more air in creating more heat more rpm more power. but thats about all i know about it.
