Default RE: A Ram750 Plus Air Start with 18 volt blower?

ORIGINAL: unknown

We all knows what a ECU suppose to do. But thats not the case some time with the Electrodynamics ECU. Starting a turbine by blowing air into the inlet of a jet is not the same as blowing it directly in front the engine itself.
Why don't you show us what you '"knows" by 'splaning us to the difference? The ECU has NO IDEA how the turbine is being spun, only what RPM it is turning and what the EGT is. If both are within limits - which can be easily done with a proper blower - the engine will start fine.

I know what i'm taking about do you???

Steve you are doing the right thing getting your scuba tank.
I think starting with the scuba tank is easier, so that's what he should do. My issue is with your comment that starting with a blower is "very dangerous" and your logic for saying so - both are wrong.
