@highvoltagefeathers We just used an electric air solenoid and 80psi. Any less pressure and we couldn't get enough positive atmospheric pressure in the combustion chamber. The ignition would be much quicker with a higher pressure. I was a little concerned with running too high of a pressure though such as compressed nitrogen or C02 because of the radial load on the turbo's bushings. We do start it with the oil system pressurized. Thanks for the compliments.
Good evening friend! you can tell me where I get the scheme to make the turbine flames cave? thanks

Wow. Do you use bottled co2 or compressed air? what PSI? and do you start it with your oil system pressurized? Impressive engine! excelent work.
