JohnMo Posted Sunday at 17:38 Share Posted Sunday at 17:38 Filters are wonderful things, I once modified a gas turbine filter system, on an offshore generator, moved from F7 to H12, eliminated almost all the salt from the combustion air. Turbine blades were failing in under 6k hrs due hot corrosion (sulphur, salt and high temperature). Couldn't get the sulphur out of the fuel, or change the temperature, so chose to remove the salt. When I left the company, the turbines had lasted over 20k hrs, no reported issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engineers (they were real ones, not pretend ones) spent months making a new induction system for a Subaru, the day came to test it on the dyno, and it made 1 BHP difference. It looked really neat though. Did the Audi ones for the touring cars, that was fun, carbon fibre retainers and a large surface area, and still fitted under the bonnet.
