RE: Front Turbine
Yeah I need to know too. Also it's not a turbine it is an compressor air inlet housing and inlet guide vanes. As if that matters we know what he is talking about.

RE: Front Turbine
Once I get to the body part of my car, it would be easier to put a pre-manufactured one on rather than try to build one from scratch!

Tim's the resident designer not me.
He should design something like this.

Kevin usually stays away for a few days when all the flames start. He has been at the wrong end too many times. He will likely be back soon to answer some questions!

RE: Front Turbine
The front turbine is little more than a small "oil type" drum with welded turbine blades and a mount for the nose cone - Source Unknown

RE: Front Turbine
Couldn't one of the owners just mold theirs and sell them? How about Kevin or Jack? It would be a cool little accessory piece to offer.

RE: Front Turbine
The nose cone is called the CSD and generator set. The generator for the aircraft is housed in there along with the constant speed drives unit.
On the real cars I am told that the Harrier Jet intake and exhaust were used. In most of the pictures I have seen it appears to be right.
Check on ebay and locate aircraft parts and search for engine vains or blades sometimes you can locate an entire turbine wheel intact with blades. If they are to long you can always cut them down to size. You can even contact the sellers to see what else they have. They don’t post everything they have. The cone on the replicas is fiberglass copied from the original car.
