Hello all, This is my first post on this forum, but I've been reading through many posts and lurking around. I thought it would be time to finally get involved with the community. My question is this, has anyone used GE/ALCO locomotive turbo parts for a DIY turbine engine build? Ill drop some pictures below of what they look like so you can understand my thought process. There is an image below of one of these turbos on a pallet to show its true scale. I've got a few suppliers that sell the parts, not sure on prices yet because I have yet to ask. Anyways, enough rambling. Let me know your thoughts. The turbo: The compressor/turbine I don't think that will work mate, very heavy mass to spin up for a turbine engine. I have a complete assembly locomotive turbo parts the turbine wheel is very heavy,but the comp wheel is light weight for it's size could match it up with a TPE turbine wheel John W will give you more advice on this.

Hi John, WOW luckily you didn't get a nasty rub the comp housing. You think this may also cause surge I think Andrew will not be happy about this when you show him Cheers, Mark.

HI John, Yeah i don't think they would of use 6061 alloy or what other type of alloy is best to use, and if you can resleeve the bore to the right size the comp wheel may keep stretching Pain in the ass this is Cheers, Mark.
