Turbo jet?

Post by jacobnhra » Sun Jul 04, 2010 5:39 am

Ive just got a quick newbie question. Ive got a turbo with an inducer 1.5 inches in diameter. From my calculations(this is where I'm out on a limb)I'm going to need a flame tube that's approx. 4.5 inches in diameter, and 9 inches in length? I didn't leave anymore details about the platform because i wasn't sure what other information you experts would need. if any other info is needed for what i thought was a pretty basic formula let me know. Thanks and I'm sorry for such a newb question.

Hi Jacob

With such a small turbo you'll undoubtedly be using propane/LPG as a fuel , in which case a smaller flametube is possible due to the fast burn characteristics of the gaseous fuel , possibly down to 3-3.5" dia and 6 inches long.

Cheers
John
