Hey Chris, I got most of mine online. Amazon has a few good ones on Turbocharging and fuel injection.
Also you may want to check out Racing beat, Mazdatrix, and Black Dragon. They all sell a few good books.

Rotary Engine by Kenichi Yamamoto

Its a rare book, but you can probably find a scan of it somewhere. The most engineering-oriented publication on the rotary engine that you can find ANYWHERE

I recently purchased this. A good read, and I learned some info about these cars that I never read or saw anywhere else.

The link I got my PDF of it from is dead now . Shouldn't be too hard to find another source though, just keep googling the title. It's totally worth the hassle (hell, even worth buying if you have the chance).
