We Perform Custom Gas Turbine Work
Over
the years we've done a lot of unique, 'one off' custom projects powered
by a variety of gas turbine engines
|
This
little GTP70-52 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) was pulled from an old
warbird and brought back to life.
|
 |
The
power take off (PTO) is rated at 160hp currently drives a massive
400 Hz generator. It's on its way to power a 15ft hovercraft.
|
 |
Tested
and properly serviced, this GTP-70 is ready to provide years of
dependable service.
|
After
mounting the gas turbine in the hovercraft, an exhaust nozzle will be
fabricated (where the old heat exchanger provided cabin heat throughout
the cabin of the warbird while on the ground).
|
The
old 400HZ generator housing will be 'gutted' and machined to hold
the pulley cluster (used to power the v-belts turning the hovercraft
lift and propulsion fans).
|
 |
A
throttle was specially designed to allow reliable control of the
engine speed from 40% rpm on up to full power (100% rpm).
|
 |
Stainless steel braided hoses, high temperature
adel clamps and aircraft grade components are used for safety and reliability.
|
Custom
wiring harnesses designed to meet your specifications
|
An
electrical connector is rebuilt for an aircraft engine (Right).
|
 |
Several
safety circuits were added to meet the clients requirements.
|
 |
A
custom aircraft engine electrical harness is laid out and rebuilt
for a gas turbine engine (Left).
|
All
electrical connectors (commonly called 'canon plugs') are rebuilt (desoldered,
tinned,
new aircraft grade wires soldered in, and sealed
with potting compound) for Mil-Spec reliability.
We
provide custom gas turbine repair and installation services by the hour,
or bid by the job
|
We
also troubleshoot, repair, and install gas turbine engines.
|
 |
Here
we're performing a 'hot section' inspection on a T58-GE-16 gas turbine
engine that powers a 29ft Sanger Alley Cat.
|
Contact
us if you'd like assistance with your gas turbine project
T58 Turbine parts are available
 |
T-58
starters are available. If you're working on a T-58 turbine
project you already know how difficult these are to find.
We've
sold lots of these to satisfied customers and still have a few more.
|
 |
|
We've
got brand new, sealed cases of Mobil Jet Oil II 24 quart
cans of aircraft oil for the blowout sale price of $275 case. Approved
for use in 98% of gas turbine engines flying today, these cases
are in-date and airworthy.
|
 |
We
have the correct electrical connector (canon plug) to fit the Percent
RPM Indicator and the Tachometer Generator. These are
brand new Mil-Spec.

We
have running T-58 and Rolls Royce Gnome gas turbines for sale
 |
Several
running T58 gas turbine engines are available for sale. These
engines are ready to install in your turbine powered project as
they have already been run on our test cart.
Running
Rolls Royce Gnome turbine engines are also available. Regardless
whether you select the General Electric T-58 or the Rolls Royce
Gnome, these monster turbines are perfect for your tractor pull,
drag car, jet bike, or turbine powered boat project. We've also
sold quite a few converted to thrust for powering experimental aircraft.
|
 |
We
also have Auxiliary Power Units (APU) and Ground Power Units (GPU) available
for your gas turbine powered projects
Small
gas turbine engines are ideal for go carts, quads, golf carts, bikes,
and whatever else you can dream up.
Our personal turbine training and years of Aircraft Maintenance
experience will help to ensure your turbine project will be a complete
success.
We've
taken the worry out of the turbine purchase process.
We demonstrate how
well our motor runs by starting it on our test cart right in front of
you.
A current Oil Analysis Test and factory service manual are included.
We
also include an entire day of personal operator training given one-on-one
by our Master Training Specialist with every turbine engine purchase.
If you are new to turbines, you'll find this training invaluable; you'll
become intimately familiar with the 'start sequence', will gain the skills
necessary to safely operate your gas turbine engine, and will know exactly
how to react in an emergency situation. Plus, with access to 20 plus years
of Naval Aircraft Maintenance experience, we'll personally address any
concerns you may have regarding the installation, operation, or maintenance
of your gas turbine engine. Safe turbine operation is our goal.
This
is a complete package. There are no disappointments, and no surprises.
An
Oil Analysis Test is used to document the current internal health of an
engine by screening for microscopic traces of metal at a certified laboratory.
Aircraft
instruments for the T58 and Rolls Royce Gnome gas turbine engines are
for sale
 |
We
have overhauled, brand new, and 'working pull' Tachometer Generators
(Tach Gen) and matching Percent RPM Indicators.
We also have electric Oil Pressure Indicators (and matching transmitters).
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) indicators are also available along
with the correct Alumel/Chromel wire.
|
 |
 |
We
also have overhauled electric Oil Temperature Indicators (and matching
transmitters).
Hard to find sets of new Electrical Connectors (Canon plugs) are

|
 |
We've
completed the research to ensure these indicators are compatible with
your General Electric T-58 turbine or Rolls Royce Gnome engine.
Instrument purchases include wiring diagrams and installation instructions.
Aircraft
Maintenance Manuals for the T-58 and Rolls Royce Gnome turbines are available
 |
The Rolls
Royce Gnome Maintenance Manual is available in A4 paper format
(8.5" by 11"). This publication includes sections detailing;
Description and Operation, Unpacking and Preparation for Operation,
Starting and Ground Running, Maintenance, Preservation/Packing and
Storage. Plus detailed discussions of the specific engine subsystems
(fuel, control, oil, inlet guide, indicating, air, ignition, and
starting systems). Overall, it's a very well written manual with
many color 'tri-fold' diagrams and charts to further support the
text. I've used it as a reference guide for the Rolls Royce H1200
and H1400 turbine engines (it also covers the other model Gnome
engines in the series). Published by Rolls Royce it's interesting
to see the British style of writing is slightly different than standard
US Aircraft terminology. I can almost hear the British accent :-)
And
the extremely rare Rolls Royce SDG Maintenance Manual
is also available in A4 paper format. This publication includes
sections detailing; description, operation, maintenance, and lube
oil system.
|
 |
Direct
from Rolls Royce Limited Small Engine Division we have the Aero
Engine School Instruction Course Material (Instructors Guide and course
notes) for Servicing and Maintaining the Gnome Gas Turbine available
in A4 paper format. This publication has unique insight into the Gnome
with detailed sections discussing; engine construction, lubrication system,
air system, fuel system: hydro-mechanical, fuel system: electrical, ancillary
equipment, coupling gearbox, engine starting, and maintenance. With lots
of charts, diagrams, schematics, and fold outs this manual will delight
any gas turbine enthusiast.
 |
The General
Electric T58 (series) Engine Overhaul Manual is available in
A4 paper format with 504 pages. It's well organized and has sections
covering: Special Tools, Maintenance, Periodic Inspections, Preparation
for Storage or Service, Repair and Replacement of Engine Components,
and Overhaul. I had difficulty with a T58-GE-3 motor and found it
has a great troubleshooting matrix. By following the guide I was
able to T/S down to a bad fuel manifold and correct the problem.
It also has an outstanding 'start checklist' that I've condensed
and use for all my turbine engine starts.
The
GE CT58-110-1 Overhaul Manual (over 1100 pages) is available
in A4 paper format.
The
General Electric T58 SDG Maintenance Manual and the T58
(series) Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) Manual are also available
in A4 paper format.
|
 |
We
also have the T58/CT58 (series) Training Guide 200+ pages, in A4
paper format. This goes much more in depth on individual engine systems,
explaining the theory of operation, principles of design, how they perform
and interact with the other systems. Has sections covering: Description,
Airflow, Lubrication, Electrical, Fuel System, and Fuel Control. Applies
to the T58 and CT58 (series) turbine engines. The GE SDG is also covered.
We
also have the Pratt & Whitney PT6 (series) Maintenance Manual two volume set in
A4 paper format.
You can

I'm
always looking to purchase Gas Turbine Engines
Running
or not, complete, or just parts, let me know what you've got
I'm
especially interested in Lycoming T-53 and T-55 gas turbine engines,
any GE T-58 turbine engine, parts, starters, Speed Decreaser Gears (SDG),
and Rolls Royce Gnome gas turbine engines
If you have any available or know where there may be anything turbine
related for sale, please contact me.

I'm
interested in learning about the early race days of the Cobra Terminator
since this is the hull I'm using for my turbine powered boat project
(shown on the left). I've searched and searched, but just can't
seem to locate any details of Peter Casini's many race victories
with this boat. I understand there may have been a review on the
Cobra 3000 Terminator Cat by one of the major boating magazines,
but I've been unable to identify which issue, let alone locate a
copy. If you have any info relating to the early history of the
Cobra Terminator (likely in the early to mid 90's time frame on
the East Coast of the United States) please contact me. I'd like
to be able to add details of the race history of this wonderful
hull to my story.
