Most diesel engines are turbo charged, not a lot of diesels are supercharged. A turbo diesels engine will also have a intercooler which will give it added HP.

The only supercharged diesels I know of are two-stroke Detroit Diesels like the Series 53, the Series 71 (aka the Yachtsman's Friend) and the Series 92. Unlike a four-stroke diesel, a two-stroke diesel can't breathe on its own. They all have blowers - now you know where the nickname came from - to force air into the cylinder while it's at bottom dead center. The supercharger can only do so much for you; if you want to increase your engine's power, you bolt a turbocharger to the air intake on the supercharger. Some DDs are made only in turbo models, like the 6V92. The 71 Series was made with or without turbos, so check the model number: 6-71 is a vanilla engine, 6-71T has a turbo, 6-71TI has intercooling and I can't find out what the "B" stands for, sorry.

Is it possible to fit a supercharger and a turbocharger on the same engine?
Yes, this was done on diesel engines for a while.
What can one do with a roots blower?
A roots blower, also referred to as a roots-type supercharger, is used as a supercharger in engines. It operates by pumping a fluid with a set of lobed rotors. It is used in two-stroke diesel engines.
How can you increase the output of diesel engine?
To increase the horsepower of a diesel engine you need to put either a turbo charger or a supercharger on it. Cold air intake will also help.
Are diesel engines better than gas engines?
Are diesel engines better than gas engines is sort of a yes and no question. Diesel engines generally get better fuel mileage and last longer overall. But, gas engines are easier to maintain on your own and gasoline is much more readily available than diesel fuel is on the whole.
Is diesel better then gasoline?
Not necessarily, they have different uses. Gasoline is better in small, high revving engines and diesel is much better for larger, slower engines in general.
Which gives more mileage petrol or diesel?
Diesel engines normally get better fuel economy than gasoline engines.
Who is better gasoline engine or diesel engine?
diesel. Diesel engines tend to have better efficiency especially at less than full load. Gasoline/Petrol and LPG engines tend to have better power weight ratios.
What does turbo charger do in diesel engines?
a turbo charger unlike a super charger sucks in air releasing pressure ie in the form of a waste gate. unlike a super charger a turbo does not use horse power to generate horse power. differences from gas to diesel doesnt change
Why do many cars have diesel engines when petrol gives a better performance?
Some cars have diesel engines because diesel engines give more mileage and diesel is cheaper than gasoline in some countries. In the UK diesel fuel costs more than gas but, because diesel engines give much better mileage (miles per gallon), people are still happy to pay more for the diesel fuel if they run diesel vehicles. Diesel engines last much longer and have much better torque at low revs than a petrol engine.
Gasoline is better than diesel because.?
It's better for the environment and makes cars go faster than diesel. Diesel engines are however, simpler.
Which is rated better diesel or petrol engine?
Each engine is rated better for different things. A petrol engine generally has a higher horsepower than a diesel engine, so acceleration and speed is often better on a petrol engine. Diesel engines tend to rate better with torque, so they are better at pulling heavy loads, which is why diesel engines are used in trucks and locomotives.
Are GM General Motors engines two stroke engines?
GM did make 2 stroke diesel engines used in trucks and busses..they were noisy, requierd a super charger to run, loved to drink but very powerful.
