Does anyone know of any decent books (engineering types work fine for me it's what I do) that cover the design of turbo manifolds and optimizing N/A manifolds for performance?

I have had no luck finding something with numbers that I can work with just generalizations.

I'm looking for the same thing as I'm in the process of designing a manifold for my other car. Chances are that any book you find will cover piston engines and not specify anything about rotaries. Hopefully some of the design principles are the same.

I'm not necessarily looking for rotary specific, but something that deals with length of the exhaust pulse and how to optimize distance from the engine to the end of the header based on pulse length at a given rpm.

Turbochargers by Hugh Mcinnes is the best book Ive seen on turbo systems bar none. Forget Corky Bell.

There is also a book called Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems that is very good.

Yeah, I've got Bell's and Mcinnes book, I'm looking more for books like the Scientific Design Book you mentioned.
