Additive Manufacturing for any parts that can fit into the work envelope. Carry on...................................

What's the pitch and ratio? Lol it takes a long time to hookup but once it goes, its definitely running along well.
congrats Tyson... had to be a good feeling looking back at that massive rooster tail :ernaehrung004: now I'd like to know, when it had the issues before was it rich or lean? :whistle: |

cast iron exhaust manifold and turbine housing. They can handles it. If you can figure out how to whittle something hollow id love to hear about it. Creating water jacket components isn’t easy. Is there a way to wrap these pieces with something? Maybe theres a way to 3d print something to make a mold from. Like I said hr, I'm not knowledgeable in mechanics at all but it looks like creating a component that alleviates the heat exposure would be worth the heartburn. Red glowing heat doesn't seem user friendly. JMO |

As for AM of parts, we just recently in house printed both a alum 3cyl head and a turbo manifold(in Inconel) not cheap but can be done. I believe Tyson even said farther back that once he gets everything dialed in he will water cool things. |

Have wrapped plenty of turbo's exhaust side with water jackets not hard and solves the glowing red hot, you do give up spool doing so, as you are greatly cooling down the thermal efficiency of the hot gases getting compressed.

The glowing red parts just made me ask. I would likely spend a lot of my time in that longgggggggggggggg boat ride thinking about those parts. Just sayin

It’s been awhile since I posted but here is the video a few were just talking about, I was going out to test and a few guys we’re at a new restaurant on the water in saugatuck that I was going to have to pass On the way out to the main lake, so I told them to come out to the dock and go with us. When we went to get on plane the engines start screaming from the turbos ect and I think it scared them. My plan was to go out and run back and forth wide open until it blew up or got too dark to run any longer, it actually lived till it was dark and then we drove it in still running. The turbos and manifolds have heat blankets on them but there were some small gaps which is where you see it glowing. I’ve been busy with the race boat but next week I will post more about what happened the last month trying to run it. |
Any updates?
