  • why did you install a rheostat on the electric blower?

  • Replies are on the website - see above in the profile.

  • So I was watching these videos one night, and saw that you got the same turbo I got! Best thing that ever happened to a mid-80's chrysler!

    Anywho, I was wondering about a couple things:

    What size fuel orifice did you use? I'm going to try a 1/16" size. Is that too big? Small?

    Did you regulate your fuel flow with a BBQ regulator? I did, and think it's not going to give enough.

    Ging to start it for the first time tomorrow, if it will run.

    Thanks, and have fun with it!

  • I put a reply to your questions on my website - see the link in the 'profile' section top right. Then scroll to the bottom of the web site page.

  • One question, what we gonna use it for?

  • @speedy02 Runs does it not!

  • LOVE IT........ Keep up the good work!!!!

  • great job, now, the only thing that bothers me is the lack of information about the thrust ratings and stuff.... without it... its like watching videos of a vacuum cleaner ...lol... :P I hope u take no offence :D Best of luck.. and pray for me

  • @mikeatyouttube Ok at least I know I havent gone crazy.

  • @amsterdam84 Now that I watch it again...holy ****! I think you're right... amazing that I never noticed before. Well spotted! It does indeed seem to be rotating by about 70 degrees or so.

  • @mikeatyouttube ah From 0:58 to 1:26 it looks like that pipe on the end is rotating. The black mark on the reducer goes from the top of the pipe to the side. Perhaps I am wrong though. Not bashing or anything just an observation. Nice though!

  • Is it just me or is that pipe on the end slowly turning out? Like it is untightening.

  • Bad design!
