I have been asked by a few people what i wanted for X-mas. i have no idea of what to ask for as i dont like people spending a lot of money on me.
i love reading and was just wondering if everone could throw up some titles and authors of some advanced reading that may be good books to ask for. i dont remember the names of the books i have read so far (only one i remember the name of is Maximum Boost).

so what books would you all recomend for turbo aplications, EMS, tunning and the like? maybe someone else can get some ideas of what to ask santa for.

 

anyone?^^^

 

i'd like to know too....

 

thanks for the bump^
but aparently this is *top secret* ****!

 

Theres an old book called Turbochargers, not sure the author. Its at least as good as maximum boost, if not better.

 

nothing on rotary performance type stuff??

 

A realy top read, is "1000BHP Grand Prix Cars".

A hard cover of well imense detail on forced induction engines, with very relevant technology to todays performance race and street cars.

I bought this 12years ago, with little idea (at the time) of its true detail & scope, it is a great book which lets you realy get into the mind of an F1 engineer with out needing to spend 100million dollars, along with this you get the benifit of their experience from running these engines reliably, covers earlier engines too (running on pump fuel ! & avgas & even water injection) so there is alot of applicable technology you can apply even to our engines.

I will try to find Author/Pulisher details when I get back.

 

thanks rice. this is the kind of material i was after. i will look into that book.
