K160-G2 fire damaged
 

My K160-G2 was involved in a diesel fuel tank rupture during a crash. All of the electronics burned up. The turbine rotor turns freely. Please see the picture. Is it worth sending to Kingtech for repairs?

Crispy critter

Maybe, maybe not.....but I would ask Dirk he would know for sure....it would be expensive for sure.....new pump ecu cables under cover board...he has revive mine before, not cheap but in the end a lot less then a new one..

Will pay less then a new engine.

Why don't you get ahold of Dirk and have a conversation with him about this question including your pics. As him if he thinks it's worth sending in for an estimated repair bil.

Speaking of Dirk, has anyone been able to get in contact with KingTech? I sent an email, follow up email and called, still waiting 2 weeks lol

??? What subject or email address was it sent from, I'll look into what we missed. As with making contact? Here I am.

Above posts were all great suggestions by the way and sorry for your loss.

Barry, the problem stems from the fact that your webpage shows an old email address that doesn't work anymore....

Just checked, everything is current, not sure what you're talking about, got a link to the page or that none working email address? Are you the op or friend of op?

My email, phone is printed everywhere, even here, don't know how much more accessible I can be, lol, either way it's all good, but quite motivated to sort out any confusions though.

Hi Barry, I sent the email on April 22nd "Turbine Oil purchase" Email was sent to [email protected]

All sorted, thank you all involved!

Thanks for the Sunday surprise call Barry :)

Double post....

Hey Barry,

No I am not the OP. For a long time your email address used the Kingtech turbines domain. Then you switched to using a .gmail.com domain which showed up on corrrespondence and on the website like it does now.

Ciip of the email address stuff I got from Vera some time ago;

"From: Gary [[email]zeb29@Sent: Friday, August 12, 2016 2:22 PM
To: [email protected]
Subject: K-160G 029 engine"


Check this thread where neither you Dirk or Kurt answered the question about an email address.

Dirk's not responsible for emails, both emails address are and have been current. [email protected] goes directly to me, [email protected] goes to Vera and myself. I don't know where you got your info.

Barry

Either way it's all good, I understand you were chiming in and trying to help Zeeb!

Cheers,
Barry

Hi,
is it a turbine from L-39 from FB?
