Revisiting the procharger idea :)

Ok soo im bored and pondering ideas again, i found a chart for a procharger Cent. type and would 1100 cfm be enough for our motors? im emailing them to see if i can get info for

boost vs rpm vs pulley size

just back to my dumb ideas to add a few ponies to the old gal
because i still think if you can with right pulley size make 10 psi off idle and 20 ( max) at 3000-3200 rpm then we will have zero lag issues and have best of both worlds.

my theroy is based on a kit made for a gasser,
this is how it works in my head
and i exaggerated the numbers to simplfy the idea

gas motor
idle 900-1000 rpms 8-10psi
max 5500 rpm 35-40 psi

6.9
idle 900-1000 8-10ps1
max 3000-3200 20-25 psi

if you run a system designed to run 40 psi at 5500 you can split that in half and get 20 psi, and with no way of over boosting it because our engines are limited in rpm?
yes i know the numbers are not exact or correct but does this idea hold water? the parasitic loss of a Cent, type charger is minimal in a gas engine i believe 5-9% so i could imagine with a diesel TQ it would be worth it??


feel free to flame away

I don't know. But I love the idea of that.
10psi at idle seems a bit exsive. Too much air at idle maybe??

most likely yes haha, well lets say 1200 rpm ?
those are just rough numbers to form and idea off of , i think it would be awesome to have boost through the power band , and im not sure but can a diesel engine run lean?
