Abstract: The main aim of the engine designer, to achieve the twin goals of improved power output. There are two factors in the expression apart from number of cylinder and cubic capacity of the engine can increase the power output. The most important preferred method of increasing the power output is by means of increasing the mean effective pressure. This can be achieved by supplying air or air-fuel mixture at a pressure which is higher than the atmospheric pressure. This in turn will increase the power output of the engine. The turbocharger turbine, which consists of a turbine wheel and turbine housing, converts the engine exhaust gas into mechanical energy to drive the compressor. The gas, which is restricted by the turbine's flow cross-sectional area, results in a pressure and temperature drop between the inlet and outlet. This pressure drop is converted by the turbine into kinetic energy to drive the turbine wheel. In the present work, the natural aspiration and turbocharger provisions were made for experimental investigation. To calculate the efficiencies of the 4-stroke multi cylinder diesel engine with turbocharger by using load test, by increasing the load gradually (2kg, 4kg, 6kg, 8kg & 10kg) with the help of rope and brake drum loading system. Experimental tests provided a basis to design a control strategy able to meet general performance requirements. Finally from the experimental results shows that the performance of  turbocharger  is better than the natural aspiration and diesel is better than the biodiesel. The results of turbocharging  gives good performance characteristics.
