SUPERCHARGED ! DESIGN, TESTING & INSTALLATION OF SUPERCHARGER SYSTEMS, CORKY BELL IN PDF (350 PAGES) AVAILABLE BOTH AS DOWNLOADABLE LINK AND PEN DRIVE SHIPPED.
R-BOYS & TUNERS TREAT AGAIN ! Superchargers have become one of the most popular performance bolt-on products for all engine sizes-from the diminutive, but powerful, Honda and other import four cylinder engines, to Porsche and BMW engines. However, bolting a system on that works to the enthusiast's expectations and at the same time is reliable has been a "mystic art." No longer!
This starts with devoting chapters to the three basic types of superchargers, giving the reader a grounding in the pluses and minuses of the Roots type, centrifugal, and screw-type superchargers. From there he moves onto to the other elements of a supercharger system, devoting a chapter each to: intercooling, electronic fuel injection, secondary components, and drive mechanisms. There are also chapters devoted to engine preparation, mounting the supercharger, and testing procedures.
But Supercharged! is not just theory. Corky gets down to the hands-on application of his information. In the chapter "Implementing the Design" he takes us step by step through the calculations, design, installation, and testing of an original supercharger system for a BMW Z3 that ends up producing 10 more horsepower than originally estimated to propel the car down the drag strip in the mid-14 second range. In the next chapter, "Installing a Supercharger Kit," he shows us how to install and dyno check a Toyota off-the-shelf factory system on a Toyota pick-up truck. A suppliers list and glossary are also included at the end of the book.
