TDV8 Nitrous oxide conversions

Might sound a daft question but has anyone ever done this and if so what were the results?

I'm not saying I want it but I have just seen an article on Fifth Gear where they added NO2 to a Golf Diesel and it doubled the power.
There seems to be that many daft cosmetic alterations to the car I'm suprised it's not more common!

Daz, it is a 4x4 not a sports car... In your TDV8 you get 272 bhp. Now tell me how many time you were able to put the foot down properly?

I am cruising at 1700 rpm. And when I want see what the V8 is about press the pedal slightly more, to 3000 rpm and am already doing doing 160+ km/h. And there is still 1500 rpm more to go...

I am not saying that nitro is s . Though to me it is "trabant tuning"

Like I said, I don't want it on my car since I am more than happy with the power output.

HOWEVER there must be some people that want more power out of a 4x4.....what will the new supercharged MY10 be pushing out again......!!!!!!!!!

I agree that there must be demand for powerfull 4x4s and LR has to respond to that demand...
But look at the G 55 AMG with 550 bhp. That car is absolutely not about speed it is more then that.
But the nitrous is only about short term speed...

You'd have more fun converting the TDV8 to run on 80% LPG and 20% diesel....it will give you approximately 20% more power but a whopping 40% more torque

Didn't know that. I thought cars get converted to LPG for fuel efficiency reason only. 09 TDV6 HSE, Stornoway Grey/Black, Sat. DMB/Navi, 2GB memory, Rear view camera, 12 CD/MP3/DVD changer, 35% Lumar tinting, Custom exhaust tips
