-
Totaly super great awesome job :) This is one of the most amazing Go Karts I've Ever Seen

NO. NOT THE RING OF FIRE SONG!

was it hard to build did you usea lot of math to make it so it would run and keep runing without blown you up
-
how much thrust does that produce?
-
you got a forum or page with the build specs and pics?
thanks
-
nice but why paint the engine pretty pointless....



What are you guys using for an oil pump ? I have an AC powered drill spinning a power steering pump.. but would like to switch to a DC pump someday.

We used a 12v pump brought from ebay, there is also a 24v version. If you type in 'gas turbine oil pump' on ebay search you will find the one identical to ours.

What happened at the end there? Break a blade inside the turbo or something?

Yes it runs on propane gas. The black tank contains oil to lubricate the turbo.
