Books on forced induction?

Postby Balt21 » Sun Sep 27, 2009 10:28 pm

Alright, so I have to give an informative speech for communications and I think I'm going to do it on forced induction for cars. When i was in 1551 I think, I did a paper comparing tubos to superchargers, so I already have alot of background info on them and what not typed out. My only problem is I need 5 sources and 3 of them need to have been published/posted within the last 3 years. I already have a book called "how to tune and modify engine management systems" that im going to use for some of it, but it was published in 2003. It also only touches on the subject briefly, b/c as you can guess, it's mainly about tuning lol. So if anyone knows of any recent books/articles/websites that are credible and can let me know it would be appreciated. I'm gonna check garrett's website to see when there turbo tech section or whatever was published because that would be a good source, but right now my computer won't connect to that site for whatever reason.

Thanks in advance.

i know summit has like an entire row of books about building engines and stuff like that. alot of them are like "how to modify a small block chevrolet" and they look like they are from the 1970's, but some of them are newer. i think some are even vehicle model specific, but you could still use them for a source. i dont know if their website lists them, it may or may not be worth a trip out there to check it out. i know for sure some of them are on forced induction, but i have no idea when they were published. too bad the clearance table is usually a joke, or else the trip wouldnt be a waste for sure.

Evan's Tuning has published a lot of good info. It's a business's website so i'm not sure if that would count for your published content or not.

Anything related to technology shouldn't be printed in a book anyways as it's so rapidly outdated, but thats a whole nother issue.

If you need any questions answered on the subject, i can probably answer anything related to forced induction. (function wise, not history)

I remember that class, I did a comparison of street racing versus drag racing for my speech.

Personally, I would do it on something less technical. It'll be as interesting as comparing a halogen lightbulb to a bi-xenon projector to non-car people.
