Turbo Jet Dragster

[j37timmy]

Hey I was thinking to post my dragster project here at JATO The first stage of construction was to get hold of any matrial to build the combustion chamber.

The first step was to manufacture the end plate and the flange for the combustion chamber.

Tjenare Timmy!

Great to see you here, this will be a very active build thread since you have the same dead line as Olov and I with our jet kick.

(Timmy is a fellow Swede who is going to race at Speed Weekend, he´s a young guy so be kind to him. )

Cheers!

Hello again, here is some pictures of the construction of the combustion chamber.

First I had to manufacture the flange to the combustion chamber. So I started to rough cut a hole in the flange with the plasma cutter.

Then I bolted the flange to the lid that I had at manufactured before.

Then it was just to put it all up in the lathe and run and here is the result.




And here the turbo that I will use a HX60

Hi Timmy

Looking good :-)

Here came some more pictures of the construction of the combustion chamber.

First I made the wedge that will go to the turbo.






And after that, I welded the cone on the combustion chamber.

Here are some more pictures.

This is the new flame tube

Then I made a flange for the compressor pipe to the torbo.





And so after That I welded the compressor tube for the combustion chamber.

sorry stoffe i forgot to answer your question. you have exactly the same turbo that I have. And I built the engine at lernia in Halmstad but I live in Laholm currently.

Today I did the last on the combustion chamber the only thing I have left on the engine is to thread a hole for the spark plug.

You are doing a very nice job Timmy. I am looking forward to seeing it at the race!
