Today I'm building the turbine shaft, I turned with a 6 ° angle to the cone, unfortunately the cone is 27mm long and not 18mm as in the drawing, where did I go wrong? is it right even so or do I have to rebuild it?

I think this will be fine, as long as the thickest part stay the original diameter.

Rgds,
 
Even the parts of the combustion chamber are ready, they are in stainless steel 304, soon I will have a sheet of stainless steel 310ss which has characteristics similar to inconel

I apologize to the readers of this beautiful forum if I repeat some messages I do not know the procedures well and often make a mistake.
 
In this period I am working hard to build tools that I need in the construction of the turbine then I will publish some photos
 
These are my thoughts, I think this diffuser with the older type compressor needs a small adjustment on the wedge angle which might be a bit flatter. All my other engines with newer aggressively retro-curved blades need a much steeper angle but these T04B compressor wheel is different. (There is no real alternative to this wheel) Also the so called "throat area" might be too large and could be a tiny bit smaller. (The 7,29 from the picture) If you could try a slightly smaller wedge angle, the 14,0 number on the picture to lets say 13,5 or even 13,0 would be better I think. This smaller angle also has the benefit that the throat will close to a more acceptable value which would be around 6,5mm.

Just my thoughts, I don't know if you can incorporate this in your built? If you are able to make them cnc you could even try both my original and this adjustment as well?

Hi Gerald
Time has passed and I did not do a lot on turbines.

Very interesting this drawing. It has already a smaller angle (14°) your drawing on your website hast still 17°

I've reverse engineered and created this old JG100 Diffusor (https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-jets-120/11262454-gr130-7.html) and it seems to work much better / No surging. Fighting with other problems right now :)

Hi everyone
I warn you that I have not abandoned the GR130 project, the desire to continue is stronger than ever, some work commitments did not allow me to continue, then I dedicated myself to the repairs of some of my models and now I am building a hauler and a Pilatus b4.
 
Yesterday I had a day off and I wanted to try to build the external part of the combustion chamber, unfortunately the rush made me mistake the punching, the diameter of the largest holes and the height of the sheet, but it served me as an experience, next time he was more careful.

Also yesterday I did another job, for the first ignition of the turbine I do not want to use 70 euro GWR bearings, if something does not work I would have a great waste of money, I bought 4 hybrid fuji bearings with 7 ceramic balls, I disassembled them, I modified the rings and built a bearing of 11 balls, the modification was perfectly successful, the balls are kept inside without the possibility of going out because the entrance has the right tolerance, I hope well.
