ok guys how bout we make up a topic about good turbo books. i know everyone could use this info.

now i have heard this one is good. but how many pages is it? i dont wanna pay 40$ and get some magazine.


i started it off what are some other good ones for experianced turbo guys?

LJR-LUDE01

that's a great book is worth the $40.00 if you ask me... i'm not sure how many pages but is not a the width of a magazine if that's what you ment by the magazine coment..........

SoulSurfer

Awesome book. I think it's a 150 pages or so. Definitely worth $40.

BudaKai

Blech! You knew my answer from the begining.

yeah thats an awsome book. when i was talking to Arturbo he suggust i read up on it. Lots of FAQ and misinformation about turbos is reveled

ricodemus

40 bucks? I just ordered that book and the Mike Kojima book for 38 shipped from amazon.

SoulSurfer

Let us know what you think of Mike's book. I used to be on a Nissan board and he was very helpful.

ricodemus

Will do. They just shipped this weekend, they should have already been here. Amazon is right next to my dad's house, I feel like I should get the order the next day.

yaya

ok instead of making another thread i will post here.....
are there any honda/acura specific FI books?

i really dont know that much on how tuning and turbo setups differ....i am ready to buy an engine (have wanted a C5 for about a year) but i am curious about a turbo b16 setup

avividmemory

well what are your intentions, keeping it stock w/ boost or full build up? if full build up, I'd say the C1 would be the best, for the price of a C5 you could have the C1 completely built and ready for a custom setup just my .02

oh, and I've read the maximum boost by corky bell...very informative and well written.

ricodemus

i wasnt too clear.....i meant i want a c5 NA, but a turbo b16 sounds like more fun and for a similar price.....but then i am half clueless about FI setups and principles

shortyz

can can. just search turbo in the archives
and read everything. :D

shortyz

dood thats 34 CDN

25 cdn is like 36 cdn... plus i can goto chapters and get them to bring it in since i dont have a visa for the net.

yaya

lol you type turbo in search and see what you get

really do it

Specialk

Maximum boost is 230 pages of info, 3 pages of supplier info, 3 pages of glossary, and an index.

Stu

Another good book is Turbochargers by HP Books. I like it better than Maximum Boost, but it is best to read them together.

shortyz

can can. yeah so.

read the ones with like 40 replies.

yaya

you didnt even do a search did you?
if you type turbo, well i got 1 thread
i typed boost and i got 2 threads with more that 40 replies, and one of em was about a lamborgini TT......
i typed psi and yeah i found some good info.....
dont worry i AM reading thread after thread, but its so funny cuz all of them say "use the search button"

If you want to dig deeper in the theorical side, you can always shell-out about 1Kbones for a SAE publication.

i'll sell my maximum boost for 20$ shipped, perect condition, just that i dont need it anymore, to be honest, i never read it, just skimmed at what i needed to know

ricodemus

On my first impression of this book, "Honda/Acura Engine Performance" by Mike Kojima, seems a little vague. The info is good for a beginner, but you get much more in depth discussion about stuff on most threads on h-t. It does have some good info, but he seems a little brand biased with no explanation why. I guess its a good manual to have right in front of you for some printed info and it is only a $13 book so I guess you can't expect much.

Maximum Boost looks pretty friggin sweet so far though.
