10/106 Turbine Engine

[pitciblackscotland]

Hi all,
Well it's time for me to start to build a turbine engine from scratch well almost I was having a good chat to John the other week and i said me and Andrew have some casting done a while ago for a 9/94 engine maybe it's time for me to start machining up the parts and John said why not finish this one i have sitting on my desk . And i said yes please

[pitciblackscotland]

I already have the TV94 Comp and Turbine wheels, but John has machine up the compressor diffuser and housing to suit the GT60 comp wheel.

[pitciblackscotland]

The diffuser housing is 9 inch so will machine this solid aluminium rod to make a sleeve to press over the diffuser housing to bring it out to 10 inch diameter.

I started to collecting material in before the “silly season” starts. I love my local scrapie got this ss vacuum chamber that's what i think it is just the right size 10 inch OD $40

[pitciblackscotland]

LOL I'll try and squeeze in between this project with all the other projects i have on. I had some time to cut up some ss sheets for the flame tube.

Hi Mark

You're getting into it :-)

Good to see something happening with the bits , its not good having them sitting around doing nothing ..................I really should find a use for Fat Mumma , she looks nice sitting on my test stand , but its a waste that she's not doing something .

Cheers
John

Hi John,
yep i need to pull my finger out and get some of these projects up and running. LOL i have about 2,000 liters of heating oil to burn -))). I'm sure you will find a use for her maybe another bike .

Cheers,
Mark..

Hi Mark

LOL, maybe a "postie bike" with her riding pillion ;-)

You'll need to build a Skuld to burn all that fuel.

Cheers
John

I am happy to put Fat Mumma on some inappropriate vehicle


In all seriousness, I just obtained a free Fiat X1/9....

Ok got some time to work on the 10/106 engine this week. Machine out the aluminum sleeve on the mill and is now ready to be finish off in the lathe. I need to talk to the BOSS (John W) before i start.

[pitciblackscotland]

I got this idea from John to cut the combustor can using the drill press.

[pitciblackscotland]

Grinded down the threaded boss which was protruding out this will be the fuel drain port.

Cheers,
Mark -

I made up a boss to bolt the sleeve on for machining the OD and ID of the sleeve.

[pitciblackscotland]

Next was machine a groove for the silicone o ring

[pitciblackscotland]

I will heat the sleeve with the heat gun and the diffuser housing left in the freezer for a while this will allow me to press the diffuser housing into the sleeve.
Cheers,
Mark.
