Description

By: Corky Bell .

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 are among the most popular performance bolt-on products for engines of all sizes and configurations. However, bolting a system on that meets the enthusiast's expectations and 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 successful and reliable supercharger system. This comprehensive and well-illustrated book deals with all aspects of the supercharger system from initial planning to the actual implementation. Corky devotes chapters to the three basic types of superchargers, discussing Roots-type, centrifugal, and screw-type superchargers. He also addresses other elements of a supercharger system, devoting a chapter each to: inter-cooling, electronic fuel injection, secondary components and drive mechanisms.

Chapters are also devoted to engine preparation, mounting the supercharger and testing procedures. Much useful information is also provided, such as formulas for calculating necessary elements of the system, including the size of the super-charger, intercooler, drive mechanisms, etc.

But Supercharged! is not just theory. In the chap-ter "Implementing the Design," Corky details the The good, the bad, calculations, design, installation and testing of an original and the ugly: where supercharger system for a BMW Z3 that produces more power than estimated and propels the car down the drag     strip in the mid-14-second range. In the next chapter,  "Installing a Supercharger Kit," he demonstrates how to install and dyno check a Toyota off-the-shelf factory system on a Toyota pick-up truck. At the end of the book, you'll also find a suppliers list and glossary.

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