There is a guy at work who is determined to kill his diesel engine. I have sold him a meth kit & to be honest I was impressed with the difference it made when the turbo boost came on & the meth flowed. I jokingly told him I had a nitrous kit for sale & yes he now wants nitrous on it too!

I've looked at the diesel kits in the USA & apart from a single solenoid (dry system) they look very simple but much more expensive than the petrol kits for some reason.

Has anyone put nitrous on a diesel engine? I've read that all thats needed is to over fuel the engine then add nitrous till the black smoke goes!! Seems a little Heath Robinson to me & not very safe!

What I'm after is a little help on what to order him in a kit form so he can fit it with a used bottle from over here.

Ta chaps.

That was no use at all but anything with VBH in it is certainly worth a look so thanks. ÂŁ1k for the kit is pretty much out there too. I wouldn't use nylon tubing on nitrous (other opinions may vary). + what is the other solenoid spraying, diesel or meth?

I believe the fuel adder is propane.

According to a thread on Trevors site..... the golf had 3 solenoids. 1 nitrous, 1 propane and 1 for water.
Apparently the water pump failed and they had to run nitrous only against the Honda.

A dry system will work safely on a diesel. I fitted one to an Audi A6 last week. A '50' shot had it over 90 where it normally reaches 80..... no smoke or drama, just a nice little kick. More fuel needs adding now. The owner is getting a piggy back ecu to chuck more fual in when the nitrous is armed.
