I “retired” from the military, and work 50-100 hours a week at my next career. So i have limited time, like most everyone else. But unlike most i have a personal manual machine shop to dick around in when i find the time. And after i build my 4 car garage i am buying my neighbors VMC.
Vertical machining center. Not sure of it is 4/5 axis capable yet..... i am going to find out though......
Greater atomization of fuel is possible then what is currently generated with available nozzles. But i lack the blanks as well as a good editable 3d model to try and play around with my idea. I wanted to do these on single shot BA’s(i have 11 in hand from running engines) but now i would like to do this with BI’s and a good upgraded HPOP on a stock tune. Baselined with my 191k stock injectors first of course, followed by the hpop, then with the modified BI’s, and after i have any gains or losses documented with the B codes get it live tuned for max effect. And scale it back for daily driving/towing.
Whenever i have inquired with injector overhaulers or builders where to get blanks the response was always, “ I don’t know but if you find a source let me know too”
I got to play with some LM2500 (jet engine) fuel nozzles on deployment. Made a some prototypes and got a 2% reduction in fuel consumption.(when the engine burns 5500 gallons of fuel an hour at WOT 2% adds up) Could have been better but I only had so much of that material with a Taiwan mill drill and old colchester lathe on the Destroyer.
