I suspect the diesel fuel just can't burn quick enough to make power past around 4,500rpm without some super-trick ultra high pressure injection - ala' common rail direct injection diesel engines. Pretty sure you've gotta get the diesel atomised nearly to the point of vapourisation to get a quick & clean burn, which is more or less impossible with old-skool diesels. If you're happy sticking with your current rev-range, it's basically the same principles as with a turbo petrol engine, like Black MR2 said. More boost, more efficient intercooling, and HEAPS more diesel into the mix. Diesels don't suffer the same mixture sensitivity problems as petrol engines - just throw more juice at it until it blows black soot, and back it off a touch. No need to worry much about lean-out either - they just make less power when run lean. The same rules apply to exhaust flow too - let that turbo spin freely by reducing the exhaust constrictions. Happy oil burning! [Report message to a moderator]
