Supercharger for an aspirated diesel Possible?

[OldBeaver]

Hello all, I am new to the Forum.

I have a 1989 Mercedes 300E Sedan Nissan RD28 6 in line aspirated diesel installed on my car.

You all can see it here My RD28 Nissan diesel 1996. (RD28diesel_Good_Engine_for_Conversion)

Would like to add some punch to it and am considering installing a supercharger, instead of a turbo. There is no room for a turbo.

My goal is to get a some more HP a simple and inexpensive way, hopefully without modifying my engine.

Among you people there are real gurus on the matter, despite the fact the majority surely use turbochargers and not superchargers.

I would like to hear the opinion of these gurus in order of validating my idea as a viable idea, or definitely discard it.

Thank you,

OldBeaver

Are you thinking centrufugal supercharger, or more of a roots blower or screw supercharger?

it's possible, but a turbo will be way cheaper, easier, and more efficient

what he said..
in fact i have a turbo from a volvo 850 t-5 car in great shape for 150 plus shipping.. its a tad larger than turbo cars of that body style (mercedes) and good for 15 psi all day long..

by the way very clean swap!!
