Cheers I'm only just getting into the world of nitrous that's why so many questions. Also is there any way of knowing a safe limit to increase to? Without it going boom like in that vid you uploaded. I don't fancy getting a rebuild lol
Don't be discouraged by that video as that was due to some other factor (possibly from operator error or another form of fuel injection like propane). I just post those things from time to time to stir up the forum a bit.
As I've mentioned, I have a limited knowledge of diesels (only that of which I learned on this forum). But one thing that's fact is that diesels are MUCH stronger than those of petrol and a diesel engine CANNOT blow up from using nitrous UNLESS another form of fuel is injected into it that can cause detonation OR the engine is making MORE power than the components can withstand (IE head gaskets).
I've just scrubbed up as much diesel knowledge as I could to assist you and with that I have to say that I AM UNSURE as to whether changing the fuel timing will have the effect as I've stated previously. But what I AM SURE of is that diesel fuel timings are very precise and that I still hold my recommendation to not let the tuner mess with the timing as stock and to only focus on increasing the amount of diesel fuel that the stock system can muster to make power on nitrous. Furthermore, it's impossible to tell at what level of power an engine can withstand, but I haven't heard of anyone breaking a diesel engine on nitrous using extra fuel from the stock system.
FYI, I'm burning to get my hands on a diesel to spray nitrous into to strengthen my knowledge, and if I do get my hands on one
I can assure you that it would be equipped with nitrous and posted on this forum within hours!
