Hi Anders
Heh heh , temperatures are relative I guess , 16-17 C is a cold winters day for me , we had a 32 degree day a week or so back , that was a hot winters day , 20-22 is sorta normal in the winter with lotsa sunshine( minimum 10 hours of daylight) as its our dry season . ............LOL, how can you live with summers of 12-13 degrees with wind and rain thrown in to make it even more miserable, you Swedes are a hardy lot :-) .
Yep, you can throw heaps of fluid into the engine , 2 litres- 2 kgs per minute is only 3% of the airflow mass flow , you could probably go up to ~5% - 3 lpm without dramas
Cheers
John

Hi Anders
LOL, I'll feel proud no matter what speeds you do , just seeing one of our home made engines doing its thing is exciting to me :-)

Hi Anders, I know you have figured out the right way for doing water injection into the engine. Just sharing this FYI. These pics are of a big ABB Turbocharger from a Natural gas engine that i took apart yesterday. They show the port being used for water injection. The ID of the port was atleast 5mm.    Cheers. |

Hi Anders LOL, I'll feel proud no matter what speeds you do , just seeing one of our home made engines doing its thing is exciting to me :-) Cheers John It is quite a feeling to outrun most of the top notch sport bikes with a bent together pile of CrMo pipes and an engine made out of chunks of alloy and mild steel in the shed. I simply cannot wait until JU-02 is installed so I can start chasing the turbo bikes. Hi Anders, I know you have figured out the right way for doing water injection into the engine.

Then my spray nozzle is really high tech, I was worried that I would have to use multiple smaller ones to get the droplet size down to avoid damage to the compressor leading edges. (The ABB compressor might be made out of a better material than cast aluminum but still...) |

.... I hope to gain some HP with water so if the engine runs fine I might be able to up the top speed 10-15km/h with it. If so I am getting very close to the 200mph mark so if there is time left I can work on launching the bike at higher boost to get the speeds up faster. Fun fun fun! Wish me luck! Cheers! /Anders Anders, If you will be approaching 200 MPH... with no rear suspension... **Please make every possible effort to stay safe.** Your safety is more important to your family and everyone here than any land speed record. After you finish... call it quits. You can only take extreme risks so many times before something happens. 200 MPH is really, R E A L L Y scary fast. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. GOOD LUCK! Tony |

Tony I appreciate your concern Tony but sub-200mph is nowhere near as fast as I want to run the bike, so I think I´ll be at it a while longer. With the JU-02 engine tuned in and some considerable effort made on the bike aerodynamics I hope to see speeds up to 220-230mph at a full length racetrack. I don´t really care about any record, I just want to run the bike as fast as it can possibly go with a DIY gas turbine. Cheers! /Anders |

Anders ..............ABB use billet alloy even on their high 5.6:1 PR turbos , just with some comp back wall air cooling from chilled P2 air ............they didn't want to go to Ti wheels.
Cheers
