Garrett AiResearch GTP30-150F starter

[wavin]

Hi,
I have recently received a Garrett GTP30-150f as a project,
I am currently trying to gather information on the starting mechanism,
What motors do you recommend for these or have you any brands/companies that would be worth contacting?
any information on these would be helpful! 
i have tried contacting Honeywell but they couldn't help me.

Thanks in advance
wavin.

Hi Wavin, one company you could try is www.avonaero.com/home.html

I have found Bruce Linsmeyre has been great to deal with.

cheers Ian

Hi again guys, thanks for your help gidge,
i ended up measuring them using a metal rod the correct size to fit the spline and measuring it that way,
anyways problem number 2 now.
Could any of you tell me what the following bungs are for, its probably glaringly obvious to you but its past me lol


This ones just infront of the fuel pump



This ones just beside the actuator


Thanks!

Anybody any ideas?

Sorry Wavin, I have no idea.

A guess may be if they are in the "TOP" of the housings hey could be vents back to the oil tank. If they are in "BOTTOM" of the housings they could be drains.

If you pull the plugs out, what is directly behind them? Oil? Bearing? Open void? Adjuster screw of some type? May give you a better idea of what they are.

Failing that try contacting Bruce Linsmeyer he works on later engines but may be able to help.

Cheers
Ian...

Thanks Ian,
Will have to look into it a bit further, information on these engines are so scarce its ridiculous lol
