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.

Sport Compact Turbos & Blowers

Lightweight and high-revving, sport compacts are today's most popular cars. They have developed a cult following among today's youth and are fueling a multi-million dollar industry in modification parts and equipment.
While most owners of sport compacts can afford the simple bolt-ons available, some owners want to take their modifications a step further. There is intense competition to be the fastest, and quite often the only way to win is to go to the next level - by installing a supercharger/blower or turbocharger on your engine.

This book is an enthusiast's guide to understanding, installing, and using turbochargers and superchargers on sport compact cars. It covers the basics of each system and compares their pros and cons. Typical installations are covered and explained in detail, as is building and tuning small displacement 4- and 6-cylinder engines to maximize performance and reliability with forced induction.

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.

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.
