Just wondering if !!!

[motohed]

I was just wondering , if anyone has tried making a Jet pump out of a diesel turbo , same prinsiple just compressing air . I realize you would have to use a different bearing set up , but I have several large turbos left from when I was in the industry . I have been thinking a hydraulicly driven turbo might work . I have all these ideas in my head , and just can't get them out . You should use what you have right .

Will not work impellers are completely different. One compressed air one moves water.

Engine turbo



Water pump

I understand that part but , I'm sure I could come up with a pump impeller .

just look for a lower unit from a jet boat or jet ski same princeable as a turbo

There are people who have done this.
Use your existing housing and make your own impeller.

Should be fun none the less, keep us updated with pictures and video as there isn't a whole lot out there right now.

Here is a guy that made his own impeller and cover, this is the best way to go.
