Well, its decided,
I'm going to drop the Turboshaft Kart and use the engine
as a Turbo Jet conversion on the
'Jet Powered Sinclair C5'. The engine is an Air
Research
JFS100-13A;
its
happens to be the same make and model
of engine that is being used on the Jet
Go-Kart.
|
|
It seems you
have to look quite hard to find a JFS100 that doesn't
have a damaged or dented rectifier unit. |
| |
|
|
Front, obviously. Well
I think so.
|
|
Rear maybe not
so obvious, this bit, the free power turbine will be
removed for the Turbo Jet conversion.
|
|
|
|
Nice and dirty gearbox assembly. Will give it a clean
a bit later.

It seems that the engine was commissioned March 19th
1982 - wow.

removed; exposing the power turbine wheel. Note the cotton
wool type wadding.

FTP Stator assembly.

A bit of heat and the stator assembly just pops off.
