Someone posted that diesels didn't work with superchargers without a turbo or something like that.
The two stroke diesels need to have a supercharger to schavenge air for the engine cause the can not do it them selves. The superchargers for this are root style blowers that are gear driven and are a positive displacement blower. They will not cavitate if you put your hand over the intake. You will loose an arm!

The supercharger I am using is a centrifugal style like a turbo charger. It is driving by a belt that runs through a set of gears to step up the speed. It will cavitate if the intake is blocked.

There for boost is boost any way you can get it even if it means a funnel on the hood at a zillion mph.


Just don't want the muffler bearing too tight. That could be dangerous.
