Turbo: Building and Tuning Turbocharger Systems for Maximum Horsepower is the most complete, detailed, up-to-date resource on anything and everything to do with turbos. Whether you're running gas or diesel, 4,6,8, or more cylinders, this book will teach you to design, test, install, and maintain your high-performance turbo system. Learn how turbochargers work, how to choose the right turbo or turbos for your engine by reading flow maps, and how to tune your engine to run perfectly with your turbo system. Author Jay Miller uses over 300 photos and the perfect blend of technical and common-sense information help you build boost fast and build horsepower and torque. He discusses the various components of a turbocharger and explains how to tell which compressor, turbine, and bearings come in which turbos based on their often complicated model numbers. If you run into problems with your turbo system, there's also a detailed chapter on failure analysis to help you figure out what went wrong and how to fix it--plus a complete step-by-step turbocharger tear-down and rebuild..

Corky Bell, the author of the best selling Maximum Boost, has done it again with the publication of Supercharged! Design, Testing and Installation of Supercharger Systems. Superchargers have become one of the most popular performance bolt-on products for all engine sizes-from the diminutive, but powerful, Honda and other import four cylinder engines, to Porsche and BMW engines, and Detroit's V6s and V8s. However, bolting a system on that works to the enthusiast's expectations and at the same time is reliable has been a "mystic art." No longer!

As with turbochargers, Corky Bell provides clear and comprehensive information on how to select, size, and install a complete supercharger system that is both successful and reliable. This comprehensive book with numerous illustrations deals with all aspects of the supercharger system from the initial planning stages-what performance do I want from my vehicle? to how do I go about the installation? Corky begins at the beginning devoting chapters to the three basic types of superchargers, giving the reader a grounding in the pluses and minuses of the Roots type, centrifugal, and screw-type superchargers. From there he moves onto to the other elements of a supercharger system, devoting a chapter each to: intercooling, electronic fuel injection, secondary components, and drive mechanisms. There are also chapters devoted to engine preparation, mounting the supercharger, and testing procedures. Each chapter is complete with Bentley Publishers accurate information, such as formulas for calculating necessary elements of the system, like size of the supercharger, intercooler, drive mechanisms, etc.

But Supercharged! is not just theory. Corky gets down to the hands-on application of his information. In the chapter "Implementing the Design" he takes us step by step through the calculations, design, installation, and testing of an original supercharger system for a BMW Z3 that ends up producing 10 more horsepower than originally estimated to propel the car down the drag strip in the mid-14 second range. In the next chapter, "Installing a Supercharger Kit," he shows us how to install and dyno check a Toyota off-the-shelf factory system on a Toyota pick-up truck. A suppliers list and glossary are also included at the end of the book.

The supercharger has become the most powerful piece of bolt-on performance equipment. For anyone interested in installing a supercharger system, or just in learning about them, Supercharged! Designing, Testing, and Installing Supercharger Systems is a must have book!.

Using proven models and proprietary research, Harry Dent explains in this report where we are in the technology cycle and what we can expect in the years to come. Technology cycles that bring clusters of radical new technologies that change our communication, transportation, and energy infrastructures-which ultimately bring new business models and consumer lifestyles-have been the key driver of rising standards of living throughout history. These technology cycles also have been increasingly influenced and driven by rising demographic cycles of population growth. New generations of younger, more –innovative workers and entrepreneurs augment innovation and technology cycles as they first enter the workforce and then adopt those new technologies rapidly as they move into their peak income and spending cycles. These new generation-driven economic and technology cycles are the topic of our latest book, The Next Great Bubble Boom (Free Press, 2004)..
