Hi Andy
OOOOOH .....................now thats starting to look like an engine :-)
Now I know what that large diameter recess in the diffuser was for, you've used the original setup for the thrust bearing , neat .
Cheers John

Hello every one, so engine is now in the chassis, oil system checl 60 psi oil and the evey thing still moves..... it should ramp up as boost goes up. Need air hose for scuba tank starting, 8L x 8l fitting for fuel line, and ready to start, First will be a dry spool, then will go for hot start :-).... All being good, add afterburner and the fun starts

Hi Andy
That was a nice surprise to wake up to this morning ..............congratulations :-)
She's a weighty rotor to get spinning , takes a lot longer than the HX82 .
You've done it ...............heh heh time to relax and savor the moment , that 130 mm inducer is one big hole in the front .
You still may need to fit a surge slot to improve spoolup speed , though it didn't sound/look too bad .................lotsa interesting times ahead :-)
Cheers John
