Hi Guys The next project has arrived , a VZ21 turbo that I want to explore the other end of the flow spectrum with, and try some novel fueling arrangements . For a bit of scale I used the 110 mm inducered X858 comp wheel from Andy M's engine It'll need to wait until I finish with the 12/118 engine though , so maybe it'll be next years job Cheers John

John, I remember our discussions with the "know it all" who was trying to use the V221 as a DIY gas turbine. Since I work with the smaller Garrett T3s I am very interested in your project.
Thanks, Ron

John, I use a combustor designed by Mike Early for SJ10 DIY gas turbine with good results on propane. It uses a propane camper bottle as the outer combustion chamber. The camper bottle is sectioned then flanges are added by silver soldering. This design may be a place for you to start with the V221 combustor. I have drawings if you are interested.
Thanks, Ron

Hi Ron
Mike did a great job with his SJ10 engine , my VZ21 might be a tad more unconventional at times ;-)
I'll keep your offer in mind if/when I run into problems , thank you for making them.
Cheers John

This will be interesting I have a few tiny turbo bits if you need any. I noticed you can buy billet comp wheels for them too!
