Thanks for the link. I see that what killed that 1950 car comcept is it's poor fuel economy. I guess that's why gas turbine propeled cars will never become reality because fuel economy is even a greater factor today

Here's the latest run. You can hear the compressor stalling when going past 20psi combuster pressure. That's mainly due to the fact that I am not using a LP gas evaporator, soon to be integrated.
