yep, but I'd say the flow rate would be a bit low if you just used one.
The spray patterns can be a bit funny too, depending on the original engine's intake port design.
The best car injectors are probably from older designs where they had one or two injectors at the throttle body instead of at each port.

if you can unroll the car I'd be interested in the whole thing The injectors on the Falcon engine are just normal 12v high impedance type so you can drive them from anything

I've used duct tape between the compressor outlet and combustor inlet pipe before with good success

looking good! I also recently bought a WP9 TIG torch for some tricky jobs and it really makes a difference

I used industrial sprockets too, but machined the teeth off and welded the bike sprocket onto the hub

yep, the usual story - always end up having to do it yourself! At least it'll get done properly though I'd love to help with this one, but being in Sydney is not that convenient this time

there are definitely people in Aus who are into this stuff - but there's a surprising number who are not at all interested! I did some test runs of my electric motorbike today, and there was a guy sweeping his driveway across the road who didn't even look. A couple of people further down the road did walk out for a better view though

this is something I was planning to do, but never quite got up to the freepower turbine stage racket and I talked about various options, including using a very large turbine to keep the rpm down and possibly be able to drive the shaft directly.

that pump is a vacuum pump - for the brake booster in the car (since the diesel engine doesn't provide vacuum)
They also have oil fittings for lubrication. I think the air outlet is also the oil outlet, which goes back to the engine's sump.

I've used power steering pumps too, also usually Nissan ones - driven with electric scooter motors with good success

I've TIG welded a couple of turbo exhaust housings, with mixed results.
One of them just fizzed and burned and refused to weld, but the other welded just like normal steel. Typically they will crack if not pre-heated before welding too.

I'll be in LA, San Diego, Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Houston, Dallas, and Austin over the next few weeks, so if there's any turbine related stuff happening I'll try to be there
