Has anybody on Veeky Forums ever twincharged a diesel engine? How did you go about it? Does it hold any real benefits for a 4x4 or offroad vehicle?

My name is Gale Banks and I've been twin charging diesel engines for years. Everything from drag builds to speed boats.

You think these clowns can afford to twin charge when they're behind on their Miata payments?
>Does it hold any real benefits for a 4x4 or offroad vehicle?
No, stock turbo is fine

It does if they're big enough.
You're gonna need hella fuel pump, hella injectors, some kind of ECM mod/additional hardware, FAT turbos. A lot of money.
If you can't disassemble and reassemble your own engine I wouldn't fuck with it.

Not after a drag car. Looking to see what advantages a twincharger would have for offroad performance.

So their only advantage is in large trucks such as semi's? Do they help or hinder light trucks?
Jordan Richardson
Well help.
If you wanna haul ass my man, just take it to a tuner and get a bigger turbo, performance exhaust, injectors, crank the pump up or get a more powerful one. Trust me, you're not gonna wanna have more power than that.
I've been in a hillbilly'd F-350 that was fucking terrifying and it had only been given those things, hauled ass and tried to rip its own tires apart. A fast diesel is an oddity to say the least in the US

Not much. You'd be better off just going high compression and gearing it to work right.
I'd figure off roading, you'd want something reliable and simple, that's difficult to break and easy to fix. Something like an old NA IDI would be ideal for that situation. Completely gutless, but with steep enough gearing, it'll go pretty much anywhere.
Twin charging just adds needless complexity for not much power gain. In 99.9% of situations, it's simpler, more cost effective and more reliable to change the transmission/gearing/tire size to get the power where you want it at the desired speed than it is to boost the everloving hell out of the motor.

You do know diesels are already high compression right?
William Jones
I see
Thanks man
Also, not based in US
