Hemi Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 well today had some spare time up my sleeve, so i went about making that air bypass block i was talking about . i was going to take pics but im sure you all know what a ring looks like i then fitten it to the end of the flametube and mashed it into the combustor. then i tried it SUCCESS! the flame is much much more blue i tried to get a pic but the camera only pics up the bright spots and makes it look all orange. With this new flame i notice immediatly that it was a fuckload more hot and also the air was getting impressively far out the end of the unit (compared to just the vacuum) . im still not 100% happy but i think its going to be good enough to close down the end of the combustor this should restrict the air further and promote better combustion . oh and the end of the cumbustor ended up getting just about white hot had a video but again the camera does not pic up the flame all that well so i can be bothered posting it . Oh and for refrence i got the temp gun out again and the endplates were up at 400c the whole end of the unit was smoking and a rag under the vice ended up smoldering from the radiant heat . fuck i cant wait for this thing to come together tomorrow im gonna start reducing the cylinder down tomorrow and make a flange . fuck yeah jakes on a 1uz . jakes @ 5000rpm??

Hemi Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 RIIGHHT more progress , had more sapre time today so started by moving the injector to the center of the combustor . i then made a new injector that was alot shorter so the lpg had more time to spread to the sparkplug . this is a pic of the ring that i was talking about here is the injector and the old one vs new i then started making a reducer for the end to mount the flange for the turbo . its rough yeah but i didnt measure it and i cant be bothered taking years making everything perfect when its a prototype cut down and cleaned up ready to use and a video bit short but yeah you get the point. the end is where the turbo will be, so when its on i wont want those flames coming out the end. no prancing sorry but a sneaky look to the camera will do L0E_xWbU2gs AdddCetR12Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
