Re: why no supercharged diesels ?

Just in case anyone asks, it takes 38 HP to drive the 'blower' on the 2 cycle engine. At least that is what I was told by a factory rep many years ago.
So if you think about it, the old double 'O' 92 series had 430 hp. After it had newer injectors, a redisgned block, new design cylinder head,new design cylinder liners, and a 'bypass blower', The HP rating went to 450 and eventually 475, then to 500.

It is said if you sit by the river and watch the water flow by long enough, your enemies will pass by. This I believe to be true. It is also possible to watch your loved ones pass by as well.
