It's not a turbo or V8, but it makes more noise and has some serious horsepower potential.....

Come on, give this guy some credit. Whoever has a good read of the site will discover that this guy knows in great detail what he is talking about. He has built a gas turbine from a small turbocharger, various shapes and forms of pulse jets and other bits and pieces. Somehow I think he is intelligent enough to keep his chances of getting injured or killed to a minimum.

Well he hasn't exactly got a seat or seat belt on that thing, nor much other protection. Im a part time firefighter, and I gotta tell you that his little LPG setup is just a little alarming to say the least!!!! I wouldn't want to be near where this guy lives!

memorable quotes include:

"As I mentioned -- the kart doesn't even have a seat yet so I clamped a piece of wood onto two cross-members to stop my backside from scraping along the cement."

"This board was also a handly place to lash the 20lb propane tank which provides the fuel for this jet"

"The fuel lines were zip-tied to the frame ... Very crude and only somewhat effective as it takes about two full turns to cut off the gas supply "

"Since I don't have any brakes yet,"
