the book "maximum boost" by corky bell has a lot of good info

 

I would also suggest a book called "Street Turbocharging" by HPBooks. There's a lot of good information written really well, problem with FI is there's alot of formula's to digest but if written well they can be easy to understand.

 

I'm gonna have to pick that one up...any more reviews on it?

 

Corky has the better of the books I think. Its a good read. I have talked with him a few times over the phone too. Interesting guy.

Cool thanks Rick, I just finished reading two books, the one already mentioned by Mark Warner, and another one called Chevy LS1/LS6 Performance by Christopher Endres and I found each really useful. I'll go and pick up Corky's book, it's odd because I thought it'd be boring reading but they are actually pretty good! Although the Endres book was dry at times.

Sorry to get "off Topic" henry, I'm following this thread intently I hope we get some other Brains to chime in. I have a few opinions too but I want too learn from the guys who do this for a living.

 

I am always in for some good tech reading, any recommendations on where to pick these books up?

 

I ordered it through Mcnally Robinson, not sure if they are in the states though

 

another one that goes quite in depth is "Turbochargers" by Hugh MacInnes and Hp Books. It is very old (1984 i think) but good if you are dealing with turbos that have been around for a while like the T4

 

Where'd you pick that book up at?

 

I laughed after reading the chevy LS1/LS6 book. Nothing like reading a bunch of paid sponsor crap.
