WTB dirt cheap, EWG turbo of any size
 
This wont be for a miata, or even a car for that matter.... or even a piston engine. I just need any size, EWG turbo, and im not willing to pay much more than $70-80 shipped. Sell me something that is covered in spooge, with a terribly undesirable A/R and flanges or something, and needs a rebuild, as long as the blades havnt self destructed.


Will entertain IWG options as I can just weld it shut, but would prefer EWG.

I have a decent idea what you plan to use it for.

I can't say i do not support it!

If this is what I think it is I have done this before with a dewalt drill running some random oil pump in a #10 can. The journal bearing still died after about 20-30 min of running. Lit a 2x4 on fire at like 3 or 4 ft almost instantly and definitely required earmuffs. Leaf blower helps with starting.

I have a janky turbo that you can have to do this with (was my intent for it, but too busy). Lemme know if you want to pay shipping.

hi_im_sean 03-05-2016 09:04 AM

Ill take it.

leaf blower- check
99 Miata PS pump and small gear reduction motor, although 24V :( - check
ear muffs- check
pissed off neighbors- check
scatter shield- in the works

I had got a low mileage, really good condition VGT garret off a 03' F-sumthin for pretty cheap, only to realize it was a rare, sought after turbo (some rare compressor wheel with an odd blade count). So I sold that one and quadrupled my money. That would have been a fuking monster anyway, and would probably have emptied a propane tank in a few minutes.

Im debating using an injector with a simple pot controlled PWM circuit to throttle fuel, with a few fuel cut circuits for safety.

I need to find a cheap way to measure 200,000 rpm.

rocket engine?

hi_im_sean 03-13-2016 05:38 PM

Nope. Not sure how one would utilize a turbo for a rocket engine. Maybe you could use it as a liquid fuel pump, but some of those run like 100 bar sooo.

Go look up "RC Don", He made one, made a ducted fan with a PTO, and them strapped it to a cart and went to the salt flats.

Boxed everything up (except the wastegate actuator) and have it ready to bring in to ship tomorrow. We'll see if I actually remember.
