Message	Just got finished building the combustor (the darker colored, larger diameter pipe housing) as well as the compressor feed tube which will be piped into the side of the upper section of the combustor. Injector nozzles are on their way as well as an igniter - just need some propane and an oil pump/resovoir setup and should be ready to fire her up. This is a Z32 stock turbocharger. BTW, if you are wondering what this is, it is a gas turbine engine. A turbo is basically an engine in and of itself, with the exception of not having a combustion chamber. That is the part you have to build to make it a functional engine - of course its still missing a lot of vital components to make it all work, but they are relatively easy to acquire/build. Should be an impressive display of noise if it works. =) *fingers crossed* [ ashleypowers.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] [ Zemulator Information Sheet ] [ Z1 Motorsports Website ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W.
