Scientific Design of Exhaust & Intake Systems

For years, engineers, engine designers, high-performance tuners and racers have depended on the "Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems" to develop maximim potential from their engines.

Dr. John C. Morrison is one of the foremost authorities on the analysis of the induction and exhaust processes of high-speed engines. Together with Philip Smith, he gives a thorough explanation of the physics that govern the behavior of gases as they pass through an engine, and the theories and practical research methods used in designing more efficient induction manifolds and exhaust systems, for both competition and street use.

Chapter topics range from Simple Flow Problems and Sound and its Energy to Designing a System for Racing. This authoritative book will lead you through the complex theory to an understanding of how to design high-performance exhaust and intake systems for your own particular application.

Turbocompressors en drukvulling (Technische leergang)

Deze grondige verhandeling over turbocompressoren begint met beschrijving van mechanische drukvulling voor verbrandingsmotoren. Daarna volgt het concept van turbodrukvulling, waarna de focus verschuift naar essentiële aspecten zoals trims, A/R-verhoudingen en andere fundamentele begrippen.

De evolutie van de turbo wordt gedetailleerd behandeld, waarbij niet alleen de technologische vooruitgang, maar ook de ontwikkelingen in het lagerhuis worden belicht. Het boek gaat verder dan conventionele benaderingen en verkent multi-stage drukvulling, waardoor lezers een dieper begrip krijgen van geavanceerde technologieën.

Het hoofdstuk met praktische tips biedt waardevolle inzichten voor professionals en liefhebbers. Dit boek fungeert als een onmisbare gids voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met verbrandingsmotoren en biedt een heldere, formele benadering van turbocompressor-technologie in de hedendaagse context.

Sport Compact Turbos & Blowers

Dit Amerikaanse S-A Design tuningboek beschrijft de werking, installatie en gebruik van turbochargers en superchargers op sport compact cars. Het beschrijft elk systeem en vergelijkt de voor- en nadelen.

Typische installaties worden besproken en in detail verklaard, evenals het opbouwen en tunen van 4- en 6-cilindermotoren voor het behalen van maximale prestaties en betrouwbaarheid met geforceerde inductie.

A Complete Guide to Street Supercharging - Roots, Centrifugal & Twin Screw Superchargers

Once the limits of a naturally aspirated engine are achieved in terms of horsepower and reliability, there's only one more way to maximize horsepower potential: forced induction.
There are two options for realistic forced induction, a turbocharger or a supercharger. While there is considerable debate over which is better, both offer exponential gains over any standard modification on a normally aspirated engine.

Street Supercharging, from industry veteran Pat Ganahl, covers blower basics, blower background and history, a tutorial on how blowers work, information on used superchargers and their practicality, chapters on the different styles of superchargers, like the traditional roots style blowers vs. the emerging centrifugal styles, blower installation, how to build your engine to handle the demands of a blower application, and information on tweaking factory blower systems.

Turbo : Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems

Turbochargers are incredibly appealing to performance enthusiasts because of their ability to add free horsepower - and lots of it - to almost any engine or vehicle. Today, it seems easier than ever for the average gearhead to harness the incredible power-building capability of turbochargers.
Those who want to increase the performance of their existing turbo system, or those who want to add a turbo to an existing engine, have never had so many components, vendors, and information resources to choose from.
Unfortunately, this wealth of options and opinions can be hard to understand and navigate. That's where "Turbo: Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems" comes in.

This book is the most complete, detailed, up-to-date resource on anything and everything to do with turbochargers.
Whether you're running gas or diesel, 4, 6, 8, or more cylinders, this book will teach you to design, test, install, and maintain your high-performance turbo system. You'll learn how turbochargers work, how to choose the right turbo or turbos for your engine by reading flow maps, and how to tune your engine to run perfectly with your turbo system.

Author Jay Miller uses more than 300 photos and the perfect blend of technical and common-sense information to help you build boost fast and make more horsepower and torque. He discusses the various components of a turbocharger and explains how to decode complicated turbocharger model numbers, compressor maps, and other specs.
If you run into problems with your turbo system, there's also a detailed chapter on failure analysis to help you figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Turbocharging Performance Handbook

Turbocharging is the time-proven way to get more power out of an engine, especially smaller ones. From ignition to intercooler, exhaust to EMS - this book tells you all you need to know, whether youre planning a scratch-built turbo engine, converting a non-turbo motor, or troubleshooting OEM turbo equipment. There's even a chapter for turbocharging diesel engines.
Author Jeff Hartman offers thorough, clear, and useful information on every aspect of turbocharging. And, after discussing the components and processes in general terms, he presents a number of case studies that complete the picture, providing a real-world understanding of how these modifications actually work.

How to Install and Tune Nitrous Oxide Systems

The use of nitrous oxide as a chemical supercharger has been extremely popular since the 80s, and technology advancements have been making it easier and safer to work with it ever since. Author Bob McClurg reviews the latest and greatest advancements in engineering and readily available equipment for adding liquid power to any engine.
He discusses the often-mystical subject of nitrous oxide injection systems with a level head and a clear purpose.

This book educates on the properties of nitrous oxide and most-effective way to design, install, and tune complete systems. A definite focus on safety and a need to answer the typical questions associated with the use of nitrous oxide is highlighted, and several complete installations are featured.
McClurg's vast experience brings authority to the pages, and he worked extensively with many of the pioneers of nitrous oxide injection systems to deliver a comprehensive review of what it takes to choose, install, and tune a system for the best-possible performance.
