WHY-2K bike (better name pending)

I guess about 50mph. I'm going to make an 1/8th mile run soon. The power turbine feels a little oversized the temps aren't up high at all. They make another turbine wheel for the thrust version of this turbine I wonder if it would work?

The little bike is running really good. It's running reliably and consistently enough that i feel comfortable doing some shows. The last 5 galloons of fuel went through w/o incedent, no flame outs or anything. The gas genny already had a little fod damage and on the last ride some tape came off the intake duck and let more fod in. I think it's rubbing inside a little, sending it out for rebuild.

The power turbine I rebuilt myself, there was really nothing wrong w it. The pictures are after about 20 gallons of fuel were used. The gear pattern looks good, a little scarring on some of the ring gear teeth pressure face, found some burrs on the pinion. Cleaned it all up, polished the burrs down and beat the dents out of the exhaust.

The sealed gearbox actually had a little more fluid in it on top of the ATF I put in, smells like a little fuel wept past the shaft seal, That's fine, it's noticeable but the service intervals will take care of it. it's better than loosing a little fluid.

How my balls look? I get them really hot sometimes.....

Very nice! I hope my gearbox looks anywhere near that good after X hours of run time.
