Diy turbojet running on diesel

Dark startup and misc abuse in the following video (with better sound and flames)

Aliexpress 200$ GT45 turbo (69mm inducer or so)
Running & starting on liquid diesel (no evaporator)
Diesel and oil pumps are rotoflow powered by 250W 12V brushed motors via chain drive.

Did a quick startup, idling around .8bar combustor pressure / 4-450c TOT
Did a quick throttle run and it easily reached 2 bar but forgot the TOT value (pretty low IIRC, no nozzle on the jetpipe yet)
Need to install the rpm gauge at some point as well to prevent bits of cheap aluminium/iron flying everywhere.

Oil pressure was dropping to about 2.5 bar warm from 4 bar cold, I'll probably have to give it a bigger reduction between DC motor & pump to keep the flow up.

Better video will follow, but at least it's working. Now to figure out what to do with it, afterburner on a go-kart first to have some fun, then turn it into a turboshaft I guess.
