Sweet! Try to get it to a dyno, it would be interesting to see a power curve.

I've been following this build here and on the GTBA forum for some time now, and I have to say its about the coolest thing since beer in cans, great job.

Thanks. All it takes is perseverance and hard work. And the cool people in these forums! I'M NOT LETTING ERNIE, RACKET, ANDERS AND ALL THE REST OF YOU HAVE ALL THE FUN!
I'm really happy with this one. The only con to duplicate this would be the cost of the turbine, but keep in mind, it's the only turbine I ever owned that I can just throw in a box and send out to get freshened up for a reasonable cost. I tried to get 80% of the effect of my van in a package that was 10% cost and size. Lots of cool shows coming up! And this thing is way cheaper to run than the van. I can run it anywhere too, I did a few indoor shows already, just had to keep the smoke and fire in check....

I guess it was the previous owner, I put 2 filters upstream of this and they looked pretty clear. I made an air trap and that helped a lot, I also mounted the pump lower and shortened up a lot of the tubing. Runs really nice now. Attachments:

The little bike is running sweet! Switching from Jet a to kero helped. The jet a had so much shit in it! they were just basically flushing out the hose when i went to the airport w my 5 gallon can. The bike starts and runs perfectly. Now i have it on the test stand playing w the fire show. I went down to Compucar to visit Yoda (Ernie Wrenn) and he gave me some really sweet small ass drills and schooled me on how to use them. Anything involved w compucar nitrous systems is well thought out and handled by craftsmen. Got home, made a spray bar for one side and tried it. The little bike was always like baby godzilla just little puffs of fire well yesterday big godzilla kicked little godzilla in the ass. Next morning neighbor- 'morning chris what the hell were you doing in your driveway last night? " More motor heads seem to be moving in.

The little shit is running GREAT! Few more tweaks on the AB and a paint job and it's done. That kind of sucks
