Yep the next time I,m sitting in a plane I will think of this.
Here is the spray bar setup. for the compressor wash.
Also pictured are the Tach generators these bolt to the turbine
accsesory gear boxes N1, N2.
They are basicaly little generators with a square drive that
give the tachs the signal.
I got these on EBAY for 160.00 a piece. Gotta love it

KR, I would think that the blades should be made of Inconel, (at least on all the larger ones I've dissected for D/T) which should be pretty resistant to levels of anything that "normal" tap water would have in it-meaning to me that the blades would probably be the least thing subject to corrosive effects of the salt water. Don't know if you would need some sort of additive or not. It seems to me the best "additive" would be lots and lots of fresh water to dilute and wash out any salt, but I know diddly about it.

Maybe If Jim sees this he can answer I dont really know.
IS that a picture of you at keywest Slurping a Martini?
I had to modify the CAN mounts by adding more foot area
I used 1/4 plate.
Whiped out the ARC and used 6013 rods.
I attached (TACK WELDED) all 4 mounts temporaraly. I will
Unbolt all the mounts off the Turbine and drop them down in the boat tommaro to double check the alighnment.
Then I will drill the new holes.
They will lay flat on the
Skater Engine rails.
Then I will prime them and paint them the LEXUS metalic
Blue.

These blades are several different types and styles of blades. The compressor blades are stainless steel airfoil type compressor blades. The centrifugal compressor is titanium. the gass produser blades are high temp coated in=mpulse/reaction blades. and the power turbine blades are also stainless steel with shrouded blade tips. Oh yeah if you know who stole CARD SHARK it's reall simple. Call the F#@King cops.

Dt?
Like I said, I know diddly about it. Pretty well all the blades that I ever cut up to make DT specimens out of were inconel. Every now and then I'd get one that had an inco hub and titanium blades, but they were the exception. Out of an entire turbine I only got one or two components though. Most all of the ones I chopped up were about 3ft in diameter or more, I never had any off the smaller turbines.
