Recommendations wanted on a book to learn about turbocharging an engine!
Hi all,
as above really.
It's a subject I would like to know more about, and I think that the first step would be to gain a decent bit of basic knowledge, and prob
easiest way for that is to read a book!
I was looking through the back of an old KC magazine, and noticed "The complete DIY Guide to Super Power" described as the book for
turbo/supercharge/nitrous etc. but wasn't sure whether this would be dedicated (or indeed, good) enough!
Similarly I would also enjoy reading online if anyone knows of any good websites! Would prefer a book as it's easier to read on more complex
(complex to me anyway!) matters, and I can read that at work, but not t'internet!!!
thanks in anticipation of all your help!
Steve.

A. Graham Bell's book on the 4-stroke engine - Tuning Principles. Wonderful book. Very in depth but not overly confusing. It's no pop-up
book, but a great resource and covers far more than just turbos...

Bell also does a book on forced induction tuning? iirc anyway, that would be a good start
