Book Reviews of Turbocharging Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)

Book Review: OK.........but..........
Summary: 2 Stars

I have followed the turbo field beginning with the Turbo Buick in 1979 (hands on experience modifying it) and the original, as well as best book on turbo's -- Hugh MacInnes' book.

I bought this book on the strength of the author's last -- the one on fuel injection systems. While that was a fascinating and informative book, this one measures up only as fair.

I'm trying to be nice here, but the writing style is forced, at least for me, and requires major concentration to follow (and not due to the technical nature of the material). I found my mind repeatedly wandering while reading about a subject that typically finds me fascinated and unable to put a book down.

Maybe my experience is unique. At the very least, though, I'd advise you look the book over in person before committing cash.

Summary of Turbocharging Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)

Turbocharging is the time-proven way to get more power out of an engine, especially smaller ones. With fuel prices increasing, its something more and more tuners need to know about. This is the book to turn to.

The definitive resource on turbocharging--from ignition to intercooler, exhaust to EMS--this book tells you all you need to know, whether youre planning a scratch-built turbo engine, converting a non-turbo motor, or troubleshooting OEM turbo equipment. There's even a chapter for turbocharging diesel engines.

Author Jeff Hartman offers thorough, clear, and useful information on every aspect of turbocharging. And, after discussing the components and processes in general terms, he presents a number of case studies that complete the picture, providing a real-world understanding of how these modifications actually work.
