The most comprehensive turbocharger book available, Turbochargers tells readers how to select and install the correct turbo for big and small HP gains. Covers turbo design, sizing and matching; controls, carburetion, exhaust, ignition, intercooling, marine and high altitude applications. Turbo suppliers and kit-maker addresses included.
Old book but incredibly informative.
| Customer Rating: | In the 3 hours I read this book I went from "what's a turbo" to a guy confident in adding a turbo to a car from scratch. It covers every aspect to adding a turbo to an engine. Everything you need to know is in this book EXCEPT for engine management tuning. That's a completely different subject that is way more complex than the turbo is.
If you want to know as much about turbo and adding a turbo to your car as the experts do then buy this book. It has all the info in there. Even the newer books add only slightly different information only in relation to newer turbo designs and specifications, the basics and understanding is exactly the same and will make you realize that undercharging a car that does not have one is really a lot easier than you thought it was.

Oldie but Goody
| Customer Rating: | | Hugh MacInnes was a first-rate automotive engineer and car guy who had "been there, done that" with turbochargers and turbo projects, and this book is packed with good stuff about all kinds of turbochargers and turbo engines. There is even interesting stuff in here about turbo aircraft, two-strokes, and much more. There is also some nice turbo history, and it is interesting to see the return in modern times of older ideas--like water-cooled turbos and ball-bearings. Anyone who is really interested in automotive technology will enjoy this book. Keep in mind, it was last updated a long time ago (late 80's?), so there is too much about carburetors and too little about elecronic fuel injection and engine managemant. But for real gearheads that won't matter: Have we lost all interest in steam locomotives because there are now diesels? I think not. |
Excelent!!
| Customer Rating: | | Excelente book!! Very useful for that who have old turbocharged engines. Excelente print quality also. |
Really Outdated
| Customer Rating: | | This book is okay to buy if you plan on turbo charging a old carburated car. No info on fuel injection,or computer control. Actually the information given in the book is primative and was written before the first car that had even the most simple fuel injection. I would reccomend instead of buying this book, buy 'Maximum Boost' by Corky Bell. |
The Turbocharger Bible
| Customer Rating: | | Very informative, very clear. The author is an excellent teacher and educator on this subject. No rash statements, just good solid theory with examples of actual functioning units. This should (IMHO) be the first turbo book that everyone should read before any others...It actually helps the other turbo books to make more sense. The most thorough and well thought out examples of almost any combination and arrangement that can be thought of, including diesels and aviation applications. Buy it! |
