Similar concept but you need to find a different way to increase the fuelling you cant do it with a fuel solenoid like on a petrol car, so most diesel cars are effectively a "dry kit" at lower power levels.
Propane and nitrous on a diesel works absolutely fantastically for higher power levels, i know someone who was running 13s in a bog standard rover 418 using a propane + nitrous kit!

The biggest benefit is that there is no ignition timing to worry about yeah

Not on diesels really TBH mate, my knowledge is all secondhand on diesels and nitrous, ive not had any experience of them myself.

Best thing anyone can do when it comes to diesels is pop over to http://www.noswizard.com/bboard

and ask Trev about them, he has dont a lot of work on diesel + nitrous cars.

Cheers Chip

If it was on a Mondeo TD with a mechanical fuel pump would it be possible to modify the pump to bring in more fuel or would it need a seperate supply ?

Not planning on doing it, just been wondering how it would work.

Yes VBH drove the one my friend Trev did with the golf.

The results were NOT good though on that car compared to on some, if that one impressed you then things like the 418 i mentioned would knock you sideways, lol
Usual TV company stuff of not enough budget or time sadly, but it still worked ok, but not as well as it would on a customer car with a bit more time and money spent on getting it right.

Up to the point you have enough excess fuel for, after that temps will go sky high or it will misfire!
