The Budget Bomber goes 81 mph!
After months of fooling with props and nozzles, I finally surpassed my best ever for even cheaper than before! Mod list is (prices are approximate):
Used T3 60 trim turbo from an '85 SVO Mustang - $70
Stainless piping and flanges - $200
Silicon couplers and fittings - $150
XSPower intercooler - $120
Tial BOV - $110
Rude exhaust tip - $120
Riva grate - $110
Used 15/20R prop - $175
IMPROS repitch to 15/24 - $70
SKAT 81 mm nozzle - $37
AEM F/IC, 62# injectors, plugs/adapters - $550
Total - $1715
Today, I ran 81.0 mph with 4 bars of fuel in 90 deg weather at 8100 rpm. My best before was 80.9 in colder weather using a Riva ECU spinning 8400 rpm at 13 psi for $2100. Today, it took 14+ psi to get here, probably due to the heat, weight, and also the turbo running out of steam. Next up will likely be a custom 3 blade prop and larger turbo, as much as I hate to get rid of the very, um... experienced, turbo.
