First Turbine Build

[ozzy]

Hello everyone!

Need some help from the forum to build my first turbocharger based jet engine. My idea is to build a jet engine with a free power turbine with an output of ballpark 100-200shp.

I’ve been recommended the Garrett TV94 turbo. Anyone know other similar turbos that would suit this project? (I’m situated in northern EU, not many TV94 around on eBay)

What’s the best way to do the calculations? I’ve seen some of you are using “jetspecs”.

I was planning to run it on kero or diesel, is a gas start system needed?

Never built an engine like this before, thankful for all the tips and tricks I can get :-)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ozzy

Maybe a HX82 turbo with a >90mm comp inducer .

Cheers

A HX82 is a better choice than the TV94 that I recommended via PM, bigger and more thrust.

You can go pretty fast with a TV94-based engine though.

Ya, I agree with Racket, use 90mm inducer turbo.
