Hi,

Thanks Stephan for reply, I will follow 80% jetspecs and 20% will be my own creation ;D
Waiting for spring arrive, will be much better work at shed when temperatures are above +10 (with oven on).

Cheers Sven

Hi

Haven't write for a while, I have been gathering parts and made drawings for electrical system, soon new pics coming, but main reason for writing now is that I have question for you guys.
Starting a turbine with leaf blower is very common. I was wondering if 18v cordless leaf blower is powerful enough to start my holset he55 (its have regular journal bearings)
Blower is rated 120mph wind speed. Its good priced at my local shop right now, but ain't sure is it work out for my turbo.

Okey

Today I went to my shed for couple of hours, made oil in and oil out fittings. Making oil out pipe fit through skinny frame was real pain, cause there is not enouht material for 20mm pipe to drill through hoping its gonna be strong enought after that. So I made double walled part at this section. Outlet piping is 30mm long made out of steel and after that its going to be rubber hose down to tank.
Inlet is AN8 sized fitting.

Nice! AN couplings make everything look professional.
