What are the price ranges?

Re: Anyone have source for T-53 turbines?
 

I was told once about a hundred dollars a horse power installed. Don't know what it would be over the counter.

Tracy at whispering turbine quoted me 90K for a pair
and they were the marinized version.

Nobody at the time could compete with that price.

whispering turbine was one I spoke with, they were very knowledgable and yes competetive, range from 35k-150k each. turbine marine probably the best but also most expensive.

Arfons is always a possibility.

Here you go....... :D http://www.geae.com/engines/military...urboshaft.html

Re: Anyone have source for T-53 turbines?
 

cool. 4300Hp that might be enough http://www.geae.com/engines/military/t64/index.html

But how do you use that popeller that comes with it and what about the thru hull shaft ?:rolleyes: :drink:

Re: Anyone have source for T-53 turbines?
 

I would change that prop to a 5 blade lab finished.




Really the t53 l13 b is close to 1600 hp.
and at idle you can actually stop the output shaft to shift.
That's why most use calipers on a rotor coupled to the shaft. :cool:

I admit TurbineMarine is on the cutting edge. However When I was looking he told me that the rigging I was using was all outdated and his clientele didn't care what they spend. Most likely the reason he is so expensive.
