Nice. Most of the hard work is now done on this..! Do you have any target for spool up? Cheers Scott

Cheers Scott Hopefully before summer ends, not much left to do just gotta close up oil tank, properly mount everything in the frame, then wire/plumb up and fix any kinks. Not much left just getting the time/motivation. Ben

I have already built the fuel pump I'll be using, small hydraulic pump coupled to a large electric bike motor as I'm running 600psi at full throttle but that's a good looking pump for an afterburner.

Keep pushing Ben, as John says when it starts making noise you will be motivated all day long!!
EFI fuel pumps - the sytec 044 copy I have used successfully on my jetbike upto 10 bar repeatedly and is half the price of that one if you need one at later stage. But your 600psi should give immense atomisation
Cheers
Scott

Finally mounted up the turbo, not the best but it's in so now I can arrange everything else.

Well the good news is it fits and looks the part, the bad news is for a 12v ~250w motor it's pretty week as just testing without oil I can slow it down significantly by pinching my fingers on the coupler when wired to a fairly full car battery 😭😂 Might have to get a more powerful motor that's similar size, perhaps strip a car starter down as should be a close replacement if I can't get enough pressure/flow.

What grade of oil is most commonly used? Forum search isn't giving me much info, the standard 5w-30 up to the task?
