Title: Weekend project
Post by: Brett on July 20, 2013, 09:36:17 PM
So, this what I\'ve been upto today. Quite impressive so far, even on an initial map - but I suspect there will be serious lag on spool for normal raod driving. Still can\'t win \'em all. Tomorrow I\'ll really get to grips with the rest of it. (Browns gas injection into the secondary turbine feed to assist impellor acceleration)  :Thumbsup!  :3gears-rh

That\'s alright until you get a bird strike :Giggle  (A tea towel makes a big mess of a turbo too - I found this out the hard way)

Elastic bands are not heavy duty enough, went for bungee straps :D
