what is the best forced induction book?

I forget the name of the book that was written by that guy Chris. I have been trying to find it but without the name I am out. Anyone know?

Maximum Boost by Corky Bell

You should also have "Turbocharging!" by Hugh McGuiness. Lots more tech info than Corkys' book.

Corky's book was great for the time it was released. It'll give you a great insight to the basics of turbocharging as he leaves much of his talk in lamen's terms.

I might read it again for shits and giggles.

thanks guys. I will get both as they are bound to have all the math formulas in them.

Perfect opportunity for me to plug my book - much more up to date than some of the other titles mentioned:

LOL, looks like a very informative book. have an extra copy.

No... seriously. I wrote that book:

good book.... i own it

Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines by Colin R.Ferguson and Allan T. Kirkpatrick has stuff on forced induction and just about everything else in engines.

Except I wouldn't read it unless you've taken a course in thermodynamics already.

If you are referring to them as math formulas, I think you are bound to be disappointed. Modeling forced induction systems, intakes, exhausts, flame propagation, etc. in an engine can get ridiculously complicated. You have to deal with compressible fluids and bizarre flow regimes. Most knowledge of these things is gained empirically. You can gain information like knowing that a more effective inter cooler not only lowers the low temperature reservoir temp if you are doing a basic Otto cycle calculation as well as an increased charge density.

Sorry, I think think you were serious. I will check i out.

I am aware. Note the company name. I have math formulas that help out in situations when needed. It has been a while since I have read any book on forced induction and I was just hoping for a refresher. Like your info, thanks .
