John,

Are these to your pattern, or do they cross-ref to an existing application??  Just out of interest,

cheers

Hi Andy.

 My own design, note only 2 rings present ( i dont need a scraper ring as it runs on 2stroke oil) Extra thick crown for Nitro use. The rod is also own design. Carillo did me a cheap deal in half sponsorship since they are interested in the project.

not much progress - my car has been breaking down too much and stealing my time.

[themoudie]

Very nice John. 

Steady away.

My regards, Bill.

Ellwood, I just looked through your pictures, what is this ?

[guest1306]

Hi, its a starter motor for a boat engine i think. It is a turbine , they inject fuel into it, then the jet thrusts the sled forwards. I believe the top speed for such a sled is approx 130 mph. A few guys make their own out of turbos - just reverse the turbo action and hej presto a little jut turbine. you can look at U tube for jet spark.
