Well just got all my stuff in and the 5" fire extinguisher flame tube done, off to junk yard now to look for a cone down peice of pipe to weld from bracket to flame tube, i ordered a oil drain line kit from amazon that said compatible with gt3582 and when i went to hook lines up nothing fit" not sure if they gave me the wrong kit or what, little frusterating but oh well. Also gonna try and find a 7" tube which might be hard but ive been lookin like a voulcher in my everyday driving and walking around, its like every object i see that is 7" in diameter im thinking can i cut it off and use it :] also cant find a nut that the spark plug can thread into, theres this nut and bolt store here that has thousands of nuts and bolts but does not have a 14mm m1.25 nut which is what the spark plug is. i found one that can kinda thread into but will eventually strip out if i keep taking it off.

If anyone having trouble like i did hope this helps, so i got a gt3582 chrap amazon turbo, i ordered oil kit lines that said compatible for gt3582 however when i got the kit nothing fit, so not sure if it was just an error or if they always do that, so after calling several auto store, noone was able to help me except the last one who was a sweet lady and "new" worker, she told me i would need to order the lines but i wanted something "now" cuz i want to build this thing no nore waiting", so she told me a brake line might work and took me to the back to go look at some, this brake line looks like it was made for this, the flare fits perfect over the inlet flare on my turbo amd threads. Got it from o'reilly's auto parts

Nice work, I found that there are adaptors for most turbo oil inlets to AN fittings which are 100% my preferred choice as they don’t leak and you can build your own hoses.
In terms of the spark plug boss, you may be able to find a steel spark plug adaptor from m14 1.25 to m18. I have used these in my jetbike, welded them to outer flame tube.
Failing that you could get a piece of round stock and drill and tap it to m14x1.25
The turbo oil drain line needs to be as big as possible.
Have you already welded the fuel fitting to the flame tube? You how will you pressure seal it to the outer combustor can?
Cheers
Scott

Well i said screw it and decided to just weld the spark plug to the fame tube, so its permanent now so as long as i dont brake it it should be fine, opened up the gap a little and positioned it so the spark is in the flow of the gas. I bought some 22 gauge sheetmetal and tried to roll my own 7" diameter tube and used a cheap flux core welder which was kinda hard and left a bunch of splatter, after i finsihed i did not like the outcome and since the flame tube is really nice and round i kinda dont want to weld the home made tube to it, id rather find a nice made 7" tube so it will all be nice but ive called diesle muffler shops, looked on line, cant seem to find anything that size thats 15" long.

Welp i got my outer combustion chamber from the soda acid fire extinguisher but however when i put the magnet to iylt it hardly sticks, ther is just the slightest very little bit of magnetism, almost unnoticable, so it got me thinking what if its not stainless steel, i know some of these that are the old vntage ones are made of bronze and i noticed some greenish rust color inside, so i grabbed the blow torch to see if i could melt it and it wont melt, i even hit it while it was red hot amd didnt deform so that was a little more reassuring that maybe i can still use this and weld steel to it using either mild steel flux core wire or 309l stainless steel flux core wire. I put my magneton somethin else that i know is stainless steel and it sticks strong, im not sure whats goin on here and what kinda metal this is, kinda looks like stainless steel burn mark but magnet wont stick to it, didnt think id be this confused trying to figure it out :/
