NOS?

[The_Hamster]

anyone know if it's possible to put NOS on a diesel car? curiosity here, not looking to do it. was in my friends old 88' Diesel Jetta puttering up the hill and he brought up the joke of doing that, and it got me wondering if it's do-able, anyone know? kit available?

I think propane is the alternate for diesel.

ok, i have found out it is possible, kits from NOS itself are 1,400 bucks. anyone know of a cheaper kit for an older 88 diesel? (more curiosity then going to happen). also, u all may want to check this site out, www.bulldog.com

trust me, interesting. blaupunkt was right.

Blaupunkt is right. Propane IS the NOS of the Diesel world. Much cheaper too! The propane kits for Cummins Diesels will work just fine on a TDI. The flow rate needs to be reduced a bit for the TDI engine. The places that sell these kits are more than happy to help you with installation and adjustment.

If you do a forum search on "Propane" you'll get all the info you need including who is selling compatible propane injection kits.

I don't know if NOS would preignite with the high compression. Propane is what you want to use with diesel cars. It's cheaper than NOS too. A standard sized tank of propane (for a gas grill) costs about $10 - $15 to fill up. NOS is way more expensive.
