Click on the above image and it will enlarge it.

the left side is in inch pounds.
The bottom is the actual mechanical pressure output that
is read on the dash Via the torque meter.

Does anyone know the rating of a number 6 drive?
These turbines can and will create enough torque to blow
the drive off the back of the boat

Those 6's will be groaning. The saving grace may be that they are not a direct drive to a crank shaft. The N2 is a free power unit.

I'll send you a picture of the drive shaft that snapped. looks like somebody neatly twisted it in half. If something had to fail the drive shaft is better than anything else in that drive line.

Any plans of working on it this wk. end ? The weather looks tolerable.
Can i contact you with an E-mail addy ? I don't want to sidetrack this thread any further.

ICE You have a pm.

Donzi ya got mail.

Here is where Im at.

Turbines wired up to the schematic I posted.
Ran the fuel tanks down to about 10 gallons aside.(gas)
Filled some of the cars up at the lot
Dumped some anti gel and fresh deisel in the tanks
bout 40 gallons aside.
Purged all the lines replaced filters.
Ran all fuel lines to the Turbines and returns back to tanks.
-12 feeds -6 returns.
Adjusted regulator to 15lbs.

Ordered two 0-1600 pyrometers from Livorsi.
The ones from summit only come with 10 feet of lead.
A little small. Ya need 25 feet in this boat.
These come with 1/8npt thermo couplers
They are being installed at aprox 1.00 aclock
at the combuster outlet.

All oil lines are ran with coolers. I will be filling
the sump tanks This weekend with the Jet oil.

If the weather holds out I should be able to install the exhaust
this weekend also.

Then maybe a test spool and fire em up.
Maybe I should get a video and post it.
I just dont want to look like a bonehead if something goes wrong
