I hate to admit defeat but what with running two companies and getting involved with girls I fear this is never going to get finished by me

Does anyone fancy a project for the winter?

There's over a grands worth of parts gone into this. Its so nearly there... The oil and fuel systems need completing and it should run! My plan was to build an electric starter system and make a fancy electronic control system but that just isnt going to happen now.

Its based around a hybrid KKK turbo with a gas pre-heat and high pressure direct diesel injection.

HP Fuel pump assembly:


Oil and fuel pumps with some pipes


combustor end cap with fuel, preheat and drain taps


Combustor pre-heat test


combustor... some serious work gone into this


inside combustor


Turbo and frame


assorted parts


Video of a low pressure combustor test here: https://vimeo.com/181320289

I can dig out all the parts and photograph them it anyone is really interested. There is a mounatin of valves, connectors, sensors etc.
