Supercharged! - Design, Testing and Installation of Supercharged Systems

Superchargers are now widely used performance upgrades for many engines, from small four-cylinder units to six- and eight-cylinder engines from Europe and the United States. Achieving strong performance while keeping reliability was once difficult. This book shows that it no longer has to be.

Corky Bell explains in clear terms how to choose, size, and install a complete supercharger system that works well and lasts. With many illustrations, the book covers every stage, from defining performance goals to final installation. It explains the three main supercharger types - Roots, centrifugal, and screw - highlighting their advantages and limits.
Further chapters deal with intercooling, fuel injection, supporting components, drive systems, engine preparation, installation, and testing. Practical formulas are included to calculate key system elements.

The book also focuses on real applications. Step by step, it presents the design and installation of a custom system for a BMW Z3, as well as the fitting and testing of a factory kit on a Toyota pickup. A supplier list and glossary complete the volume.

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.
