motoman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So i have been reading Designing and Tuning high performance fuel injections systems by Greg Banish. However i can't get my hands on enough. Could someone point me to some other books about cars? I don't really care if its about ecu tuning or if its about suspension geometry. I just want MORE!

Leon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How technical do you want to get? Two of my favorites are Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by Heywood (AKA the IC engine bible) and Race Car Vehicle Dynamics by the Milliken brothers. Both are great books. A shorter, less "engineer-y" one I like is the Brake Handbook, among many others. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Maximum boost by Corky bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would shy away from 'Paradigms of Turbocharged Motor Theory' by the aforementioned Dr. Bell. Some of the information is good, but like anything it was dated the day it was printed and it's gotten worse since I read it when it first came out. The divergence of his theories on it, and what just about everybody else in the world are striking. Though he made one hell of a nice bypass valve, please keep in mind his book was written from what I can see, to sell his parts offerings.

motoman Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I would like to get maximum boost. I found some good reading online. Here is the site name www.enginebasics.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leskinen Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I figured I'd rather borrow this thread than start a new one. I just bought a few "how to" -books so I have some sources for trying to find out answers to the problems that I will most certainly run in to with my Z. Are there any other good Z-books that might be worth looking in to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I highly recommend all of the Carol Smith books Engineer to win Tune to Win Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners https://www.amazon.com/Carroll-Smith/e/B001H6MCS4/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 Also chassis engineering: https://www.amazon.com/Chassis-Engineering-Building-Performance-Handling/dp/1557880557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472687573&sr=1-1&keywords=chassis+engineering They are all a little dated but have tons of timeless information in them. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I second Carol Smith books. I've only read engineer to win. I would also suggest Maximum boost by Corky Bell if you have not had any experience with turbo charges systems. http://www.thriftbooks.com/w/maximum-boost-designing-testing-and-installing-turbocharger-systems-engineering-and-performance_corky-bell/293038/?gclid=CNHlq8GH784CFQOTaQod59IH3w#isbn=0837601606&pcrid=70112903232&pkw=&pmt=&plc= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
