Has anyone every tried a procharger on a diesel application.

It's been done with some success on diesel trucks. There are some YouTube videos of these trucks running. Not sure how it would work in the pulling world though.

I don't think you'd be able to make the power you do with a turbo charger. With a procharger you are pretty limited in the RPMs you turn and the PSI you produce, unless you do something with overdriving the charger.

And the compressor rpm limit is substantially slower than a turbo because of the gearbox. Mid 70000rpm range vs 110000+.

What about in a alcohol setup? Add what sort of weight would be included in that with all the mounting hardware, gearbox, and plumbing compared to a single turbo setup?
I feel it could be a viable option at some point if it could be worked into the rules for the class.

Duane Schroeder tried that on his Cornhusker Deere and never could get it off the line.

GALOT team has a mini rod with a procharger. They ran it for it's maiden voyage at BG 2 years ago. Lets just say they still had a few bugs to work out.

Pro charger truck is at the 1 minute mark and 13 minute mark in the video. It is gas or alcohol.

I heard the pro-charger was an experiment and that he’s going to/back to a blower in 2021. Can’t verify that but I don’t think he was pleased with the results of the pro charger

No. Identified belt problems and made changes. Procharger is staying.

Great. Glad he’s sticking with it. It’s a unique set up that makes that class even more interesting.
