That is sooo cool. I'm always blown away by small engines of any type. Just awesome.

 

[Amoeba]

yes mate just like the real thing not alot of parts in a turbine

Is that a Jetcat? What's the thrust on it at top RPM? It's a beautiful piece of work and I can't wait to see more vids of it in action.

Just curious but aren't there heat issues with a wood engine mount? Just wondering if you were going to go with aluminum or something in the future. Plus I'd think the weight would be a factor but with that behemoth on the back you may need that weight

For kicks I looked at some Jetcat prices and immediately decided that maybe electric ducted fans would be more my speed (and budget heh) if I ever decided to try something as ambitious as your dragster.

Out of curiosity I looked into them as well. *whistle* I'll have to stick to my little O.S. 4-stroke for someyhing different.

If it's like the one's I've seen, it'll produce around 20lb of thrust. I wonder if you can get an afterburner for it?

Cool, can't tell alot from that view on the turbine, but the compressor looks like it's straight out of Garret T-3 series turbocharger.

when i get the book about it back with the engine ill be able to tell you what the compresser is off thanks mate

hi mate is a wren mw54 14 pounds thrust 160,000 rpm 40,000 rpm idile i might be changing the wood for aluminium but as you said i need the waight so it dont fly thanks

yes you can build an after burner for it

 

[Suicide]

well isn't a afterburner just an igniter for the exhaust? so all you really would need is some kind of igniter.

 

[kenazzo2000]

yes it is and the biggest problem is that the fuel will go down quicker

 

[kenazzo2000]

I've made a blog and started updating how i built the car and so on hope you like it http://kenazzo2000.blogspot.com/ if you visit my blog please leave your comments on the car thankyou

 

[kenazzo2000]

i received my radar gun now i only need to get the turbine back so that i can start the fast testing >

 

[kenazzo2000]

today sara from wren turbines sent my things for the engine i should be receiving them soon and then i hope we get the car running up again pretty soon

 

[tim-rachel]

where do you find a front end like that me and my dad raced a long time ago and all the shops we bought from are no longer around i have a pro stock elec car with no front end look good nice fab work

 

[kenazzo2000]

hi mate glad you like it what is a front end please ? because i dont know what your refering for . tell me and ill answer your question and help you as much as i can thankyou

 

[RC Addict]

I think he was refering to what you might be using for a front axle on the chassis? Looks great, can't wait to see the times you pull down!

 

[kenazzo2000]

oh part of them are from a road car and part of them are from new era drag cars thanks mate for helping out i hope i get the car running up soon to do some fast runs parts should be here soon

 

[kenazzo2000]
