Cool, good thinking but there is a few things you would need to check up on. I don't think the fan pump would pump enough oil to keep up with the engines oil pump. Also, the fan pump may not prime easily like a proper scavenge pump usually used on dry sump setups, and whenever it sucks air, it...

You probably can't go past the M90 with 7psi boost. That is what I set up on my boat and it made it into a completely different motor, especially off the mark and down low in the rev range where you need the power. You could go for a M112 however they are less common, deerer and because of...

What PSI is it running. I see you have kept the original Jag pulley, is that correct? Cheers, Andrew

I see you have ditched the flywheel as with most aero engines, and it looks like you use a kevlar belt drive or similar? Also, what do you use for a backup system for the engine. For example, if the battery is faulty and a cell colapses and the battery complely dies, will the EFI still work...

Misca, you would have to be running a reduction of some kind? Can you post some pictures of the engine showing how you have converted it? Cheers, Andrew

Autronic tell you next to nothing in their manual. I would appreciate a good article on setting up an Autronic properly.

Bullet supercars at Yatla in Brisbane http://www.bulletcars.com/ . or FAT in western australia. http://www.forcedairtech.com.au/ We are doing a group buy on the FAT manifold at the moment. Have a look at the Group buy section for more details. Once you have the manifold, you can buy a...

Gone off Autronic Rod? I'm interested on how how based your choice of ecu. I'm coming around on the Wolf also. CHeers, Andrew

John, MLS gaskets are available from Cometec, Lextreme sells them. The cometec ones are available in several thicknesses which will lower your compression, which would be good in your turbo jet. How come new gaskets, have you blown them or are you building a hotter engine?

Have a think about a cyntrifugal supercharger. There have been many aircraft engines that have used these superchargers over the years. I imagine you have a fairly narrow RPM range at which you fly, and the major befefit is a high altitude where the air density is low (you can fly higher and...

Notice how the manifold on the bench is a lot higher than the one on the engine?

here are the pics I have of bullets lineup http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3677

I believe there is 2 heights available in the cast manifold. The shorter one just has more metal machined off the top of it. I have some pics I will post later of FAT's manifold linup. Cheers, Andrew

Ed, Does that adaptor plae bolt to the standard bottom half of the manifold? Cheers, Andrew

I got one in Qld [email protected]

you can run more boost with water/methanol injection. Just have to keep it topped up.

http://www.deere.com/en_AU/equipment/ag/tractors/8030_series/transmission.html this is only an sales brochure on it. It is starting to become common on tractors now. Absolutely seamless continuasly variable ratios. You could probably remove three quarters of the components in that tractor...

FAT and Bullet supercars sell these manifolds with a blank top plate. FAT is the cheapest. The manifold with blank top plate is $1100 Australian. http://www.forcedairtech.com.au/ you will need to do a search for Bullet supercars in Australia.

Driving the blower hydraulicly isn't practical. Losses are way to big. John Deere uses IVT (Infinitely Variable Transmission) Do a search and you should find a good description of how it works. Using a belt drive in conjunction with a IVT transmission could allow a cyntrifugal supercharger...

If you really want to use CVT on a cyntrifugal, you could copy the CVT out of the new John Deere tractors (yep, i'm a farmer). Basically a plantery setup with the outer gear of the planetery supplemented by a hyrdaulic motor. When the supplementary motor is not turning, the planetery operates...
