Graham Bell, "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell, a nod to "Turbocharging Performance Handbook" by Jeff Hartman and then anything I can get my hands on. For EFI, I like "Fuel Injection Sysems" and "Engine Management" both by Greg Banish, "How To Tune and Modify Fuel Injection Systems" by Jeff Hartman, and then anything I can get my hands on. Now if only I could apply everything I have read...

Some people suggest Turbochargers by Hugh McInnes. I have it and read it cover to cover. Skip it. It's full of 70s and 80s tech. Maxumim Boost is much better. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel Injection Systems by Greg Banish 2. Engine Management: Advanced Tuning by Greg Banish 3. Supercharged! Design, Testing and Installation of Supercharger Systems by Corky Bell (not turbo I know) this should be a good post for recommending books -------------------------------- Darren Beale Keith Black Racing Engines®

Matt (and maybe the other guy, too?) are from DIYAutotune, one of the big distributors of Megasquirt products. EDIT: this book is pictured a couple of posts higher in this thread. There's a decent turbo book with a yellow Mazda last-gen RX7 on the cover. Can't remember the title/author... EDIT: here it is: http://www.amazon.com/Street-Turbochargi.../ref=pd_sim_b_4 I have probably 15 EFI and turbo books and I've read them all. From memory of what I have, I'd keep the 2 Banish books, Cramer, Corky Bell, and the yellow Mazda book. The others have small snippets of info, but not worth buying until you've fully absorbed the ones I've listed IMHO. Last edited by Fury Fan; 04/25/11 05:57 PM.
