Timpo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Has any of you ever seen a supercharger fitted to a 300TDi. If so, did it retain the turbo running both so to maintain a constant induction pressure. I am thinking of this mod to try as gear changes on long hills can have the engine dying as the turbo boost falls away. I'm quite sure somebody has done it. Timpo.

dollythelw Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 propane would be another option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 A little tweak on the fuel pump will fix the turbo dying away but it would be an interesting project I suppose you would have to call it either an Sdi (just a SC), an STdi (supercharger before turbo) or a TSdi (the other way around)? Not sure having STD in the name of an engine would be a great marketing point tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 It could be the "Stid".... a bit like the Stig on top gear! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 tweaking the fuelling as Steve said stops the boost falling away. We have some pretty good climbs around here and turning the fuelling up and a 3" exhaust have me topping them 15-25km/h faster (depending on the hill ) re The Stig, anyone have any idea who it is ?

FridgeFreezer Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Look on Wikipedia The Stig I believe it says who it is/was. Now, to redress the balance of the forum I will take this opportunity to say... What you need is a V8, mate! My tin hat and kevlar underwear? Why thank you!

V8 Freak Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'd heard the Stig was now various "Stigs" as have other people..... Regards your comments re swimming V8's Timpo, apparently if you go fast enough you won't go under the water at all !!! So probably just need a really big V8.... 7 - 10 litres should cover it... (Didn't they take a skidoo and one of those mad Norwegian cars across water in Top Gear to prove the V8 was the kiddy for water habits?)

I'm usually still crossing them whilst your watching Top Gear on a Sunday evening. Enjoy. Timpo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big V8 and NOS probably about 1000hp and you really CAN walk on water Icelandic not Norwegian - but in fact they do it all the time not just when Top Gear is looking. I've seen some mad video clips downloaded from the Web. Only thing is, when they sink, they sink quite quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redben101 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 when it comes to the stig there are actually two stigs now as both of them are part time. If you watch bob the builder one of the stigs does the voice for Mr Bentley i think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I know holy thread revival, but I just spotted this on fleebay... supercharged 300tdi... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333840854171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It looks like the air from the supercharger I suspect goes through an intercooler before it then goes to the Turbocharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
