I do have the measurements, unfortunately they are back at home. Tomorrow i will see if i can get someone to locate my notebook.
I do know the comp inducer is 2.125 inches. The A/R is .70 (i think) and the turb side is 1.15

Yeah, I really enjoyed my physics and aerodynamics classes. I have a really good base to start off on now. I start my maintenance classes next year. Im getting all the non-major courses taken care of this year.
I was walking through the library and saw some books on machining. If you guys want i can photocopy the pages and post them somewhere.

Just a little back-round I lived in a small village in the United States. Before i started this hobby i had no prior knowledge piston or jet engines. My only machining skills came from a sconce, dustpan, and toolbox that i made in Ind. Tech. My workbench was a piece of particle board placed over two saw horses.A plastic scale, rusted calipers, two hand drills, half a full set of drill bits, hammer and a jig saw were my metal working tools i had at home. I had to ask help from a lot of people. This is my second engine. The first was built in 2010 out of ALL scraps and had a wooden frame. My dad is a carpenter so i had access to lots of scrap wood. John, you might remember both these projects. I now live in a large city, and attend a 4yr college for aviation maintenance. Over break I showed a friend my engine, and I wanted to start working on it again. Next month i will begin research to learn more about the properties that deal with gas turbines. I know you guys can help me, but I want fully understand the problem and solution. Feel free to correct me when im wrong Pictures coming soon....

Hello Everyone,
I built a small engine last year that is not fully complete. It runs, but there were some major issues with it. I will begin doing research on gas turbines within the next month to come up with my own solutions.
For now, I can post the project from beginning to present, or post what you need/want to know.
Let me know what you would prefer
~Alan
