I have purchased a PZL Rzeszów SO-3 built in 1981. I received the engine with fuel, oil and ignition system disassembled. I am new to owning a turbine engine and need some advise. My background is in the automotive industry. I have a pretty good amount of resources to fix and fabricate parts for our racecars but with no luck in finding specs or parts for this motor I could really use some help in just getting some basic information like oil type, parts resources and common standards of safety during operation. The engine was dropped on its side damaging a few fuel fittings and lines. I need a place to buy these parts. I do have line making capabilities if needed. I am wanting to run this engine on a stand for demonstrations at schools and car shows. If someone would not mind giving me some pointers from their experiences I would appreciate it greatly.
My needs list as of now: Ignition system wires (I have the box and the ends of the wire that are attached to the engine) an fittings and banjo bolts int he thread and angle used for this engine. how to wire the starter, ignition bow, fuel solenoids, rpm readings type of oil to use, cost effective if possible. can I run diesel or stick with jet fuel for running on a stand fuel supply pressures do's and don'ts of operation I assume warm up and cool down cycles should be done a certain way

This won't be of much help for you, but the best advice that I can give is DO NOT attempt to operate it without an operation and maintenance manual. Every gas turbine is different, and cooking the turbine is pretty easy. And expensive. I'm looking to purchase the exact same thing, but am hesitant as I am still trying to track down the required information and manuals. Especially with a Polish designed engine, be very careful without the exact information needed. If I find what I'm looking for, I'll pass it along to ya.
