Hi Karizma, & Abhinav, I think dry nitrous systems for diesel engines ARE available from NOS. However, I'm not sure if you can get it within your budget. I also remember seeing a FifthGear video on YouTube where Vicky Butler Henderson tries out NOS on an old VW Golf diesel. She goes on to show that it improves performance significantly, by trying to overtake a truck within a fixed distance.

Also, is it possible to have detonation in a diesel engine ? I mean, would the added NO combust spontaneously even without the addition of diesel ? I thought NO just provided the oxygen, & you needed a fuel like gasoline, or diesel for ignition...
