These spy photos just in from a Reconasence sattelite located above Turbine Marine in Pompano FL.:D


After are Scientists have examined these photos it is
apparant that.

He is using the Aero,s in one photo.

Pumps are above the tanks.

However he has the pumps slightly below the filters.

His rigging makes mine look like SH@T.

SH@T Yeah but still not BAdd for a POLACK KID :grinser010:
L@@KS good man get ready for a blast of cold friggin air :cool-smiley-011:

On Shut down the T53,s have a self purge of the nozzles
combined with a combuster drain.
Prevents clogging nozzles over exstended layups.

It is a -4 drain.

I picked up some Valvecover Puke tanks on EBAY
Slightly modified them to fit.

It was challanging to get them slightly lower then the combuster housing and still be able to get at them for periodic
drainage.

Casale ?
 

JAMES they in CALIFORNIA u-know their # ? thanks-J :) PS Gerry nice new avatar photo !

Gerry, Your rigging looks just fine, you have put a lot of time, effort and endless, un-thank-full work into the project and to top it off under some extremely tough weather conditions ! It's not all about the show, but ALL about the GO as RHR would say IT"S A SKATER NATION ps --- keep the pic's a-coming, thanks J ;)

Okay here you go CASALE ENGINEERING 310-906-4827 I think this is still there number. They are in Santa Fe Springs CA

Thank you Jim and very much J :) G, what's up ? Oh-well PAT's :traurig001: :(

Hummmmmmmmmm.... I find all this very interesting....

Eric I have seen your project. My compliments to your
mechanical skills and also the ability to think outside
the box:D


Please feel free to post a Img. of your engine compartment.


Gerry

when are you going to shut up and put the thing in the water? :D

Dude............. its like 2 outside.
Still got the old exhaust holes to plug. Then shes a ready!

Meanwhile shouldn't you be getting me some ASD8,s ....I,m a thinking a 1.15 ratio should work.

Rik post a picture of Howys single Turbine 46.
Even you West coast guys need to climb aboard the "Turbine101"!

Show us what ya got!

Hey Gerry, did you get the 53's from TA???
I'm doing swell, slowly getting out the turbine stuff, helping Dino get his T58 boat together. Looking to sell my little T63 boat. Eric

My Turbine guy is PPS out in Arizona
He has got quite a team.

Who is TA? Now if we were at a strip joint I wouldnt be asking
That:D

Post a picture of your Engine/ Boat.

Gerry cant wait to see it looks Bad. I hope I can get up there to see it. Are you there every night after work. Like i always say call me if you need anythign. I donty know anythign about turbines but i have a pretty good idea of Mechanics.
-Mike P.S. since your always searching the site 774-644-7882 its right there for you

G, might be goin to NY this wk-end u-need some 16.9 OZ could jump off 95 NO. or SOUTH. How u-doin anyways ? :ernaehrung004: ps--- how u-like those 50+ mph gusts the other night, hope all the hatches were secured !

Hey Rik, To bad ya dont make a direct replacement for the
weak 6 drive like you do the bravo.

Here this taken from your website without permission.:grinser010:

Mike nice to hear from you.

Good luck with ur sale! Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Feel free to stop by anytime.

Jay, Thanks for checking up on me yesturday.

By the way my hatches were last seen in Bristol heading towards the cape.

Dude, no trip to NY yet, didn't see the hatches on C.C. call ya ! u-need 16.9 OZ H2O's ?

Yes I have been quite hydrated thanks to your donations!




Here is a Excellent Article in POKER RUNS AMERICA MAG.

http://www.marineturbine.com/press/p.../pra092001.pdf

Good Turbine reading!

That boat on the 8th page of that article looks ugly........ but it looks great now!! Now get it runnin! :D :D

Is that boat for sale at Lake Cumberland?

Patience grasshopper!:D

Gotta fill the holes from the piston exhaust I need 60 degree
weather to do this.

One good thing about the cold is the beer stays cold when ya leave it outside.

Thats my boat approx 10 years ago.


Whats cool about this is it shows how long ago Turbines have been used in boats.

Nice job Gerry cant wait to see it ...looks Bad Azz :cool-smiley-027:
ROCK ON ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes,
Look's much better now! Gerry is doing a great job with it, and the hard way. No heated garage here.

no heat
 

dude/ken, how are u ? yep, no heat till G-fires em-up, then u-have a ton. by the way great video u-posted "thaw of the I'CE man". thanks, see u-guys soon ! ps Bill-158 u-sending out the letter or are we all up 2=date good luck your friend j ;):):D Gerry, 16.9 H2O soon !

proof
 

that's some warmth !

Hey gerry going to be at the shop sunday id hope to stop by and check it out and i dont ever mind getting dirty its my job so if you need a hand ever just call or PM
-Mike
see you soon

Sure Mike.....Stop by should be there if weather permitting
figure 12.00 on!

Alright gerry i will see you sunday anythgin i can bring sockets wrenches BEER?
-Mike

Gerry, thanks for the stainless, mike how u-doin ? ken where u-@ ? we all need some fuel system up-dates/all that H2-O must be goin to the brain ! :eek:

Old man Winter wont let go.

Really have got nothing done all month.

In the quest for alternative fuels to run these Turbines on.

I have been doing alot of research on The differences on
Jet A, Kerosene, Deisel, Home heating oil and such.

In the refinery process Jet a and Kerosene are the same.
However Jet a has a lite oil additive. The fuel system in the
T53 requires such oil over long term use.
Keorosene by itself has much less lubricating properties.

Deisel and home heating oil are also the same.
However Deisel you buy at the pump for your powerstroke
or cummings has anti gel properties most likely a cut
or mix with Keorosene.
Also the fuels have different taxes on them.
The refinery ads a red dye which distinguishes it from over the road deisel and home heating oil.
There are also low sulfur content deisel at the pumps
which burns cleaner in the comercial deisel trucks aswell.

Deisel and home heating oil actual produce more BTU,s
per unit compared to its lighter partners Kero, Jet-A.

When your local Turbine Builder tells you...If you want to run the heavier oils (Deisel, Home heating oil.) He tells you to mix 25% gasoline. Reason for this is he is lightening the viscosity and also alowing for a cleaner burn.

Now Here I go off to Geek ville for a second!!

The actual molecule of Kero. and Jet A contains 12 carbon
atoms.

The molecule of deisel and Home heating oil contains 16 carbon atoms.

By adding or cutting the heavier fuels it brings it closer to what the original T53 was designed to run at.

Well thats all I got to say bout that!

So are you just going to run Jet A and be done with it? Is that stuff hard to purchase??

Actualy I,m going with home heating oil and cut it with eithier
Gas or Kerosene.

What % are you thinking?

Thinking 75% home heating oil 25% Gas or Kero.

Gas is even lighter then kero and Jet A.

I have straight Diesel in her now.

Lets face it if she runs on Home heating oil its the way to go.


Dennis did you get a chance to find out what that second
filter was?

Gerry will you be there sat. Like to come up and see it
-MIke

Weather permitting We will be there.

Hopefully if this rain breaks today I,m going to start the
Fresh water rinse setup.

I am also going to wire up the chip detectors.
They are little sending units that the Turbines have that
go to continiuty when they detect metal. These will illuminate
dash Mounted lites indicating metal in the oil.
Hopefully they will remain off.


Another option I am going to add is to run a indicator
lite in parrell with the 24 volt start contactors.
This will be lit up when the start contactor is energized.
This tells me the contactor is on (spooling the starter).
In the event of a contactor sticking I will have indication.

K gerry i looked at the forcast looks pretty decent all weekend
