Turbo fit for a TANK
 

So I'm cleaning out the office in our warehouse....where one of our tennants has moved out...and in this crate is a HUGE TURBO!!! The one I posted pics of before was just a shell...this one must have weighed more than 60 lbs. I couldn't believe how heavy it was! Now I just need to find something big enough to bolt it to...The last pic has a spray can for scale:eek5:

I have ONE suggestion as to what you need to do with that.....

I will SOOO pay you to ship that to me! Just what Doppel suggested, I've been looking for a turbo bigger than my T88 for a jet engine project....

reminds me of that mr2 that had three turbochargers set up as jet engines hanging out the back.

now all I can find is this:

OMG...the homemade jet engine is amazing...


And that turbo is ginormous.

I think I will put it on the scale today to see what it really weighs

Why a tank? Just go find a supra.

Yea i agree with you find a supra! O that reminds me, They look about the same size.

IIRC That MR2 w/3 turbocharger jet engines was actually sold on ebay a couple years back.. Very cool project.


:jerkit: Oooohh.. Supra. :jerkit:

please don't use such a clean piece of equipment to build a jet engine... sell it and buy a beat ass piece of shit for that.

It has turbo jet engines... not turbocharger jet engines...

That turbo would do well on a V8.

bonehead, you didn't tell me that 2 isn't 3 either. this wasn't the car I was talking about. the other one had 3 turbocharger jet engines. not axial flow.

holy ..... shit....... i thought turboing my miata was somthing cool, id never think to build a jet engine....

After working around gas turbine engines for a few years, I never woulda figured you could make one with a turbocharger. That's nuckin futs!

Come to think of it, I know a guy who's putting a turbo bigger than that in his... Miata.
