21st
CENTURY TURBO
|
| |
| AT LAST, A NEW TURBOCHARGER
BOOK
"21st
Century Turbo" is a new kind of super/turbocharger book.
Not just a picture book of megabuck race cars and exotic out-of-reach
technology but 280 plus pages of no-nonsense technical material
written specifically for the backyard mechanics. Good used turbos
are cheap and plentiful, and can be installed on just about any
engine from a 500 cc to 500 cubic inches by any do-it-yourselfer
with average mechanical skills and tools
The book details both Blow-Thru and Draw-Thru Carburetor modifications
(but not fuel injection), poor throttle response, slow spool up,
and cooling the charge in considerable detail. Also included are
exciting new super/turbo developments like compressed air and
C02 cooling (Votex tubes) and Air Amplifiers, belt drive turbos
you can build for small engines, smog pumps, alcohol/water injection
and many other subjects rarely discussed elsewhere. These are
simple, affordable solutions that really work. If you're on a
budget, this is the most "bang per buck" in the performance
world. Unlike other super/turbo books, 21st Century Turbo is constantly
updated with the latest super/turbo tech.
Price $14.95 plus $5.00 shipping.

SUPERCHARGING
SMALL ENGINES
|
| |
Most
small engines used to power recreational vehicles and small cars
don't have engine compartment space and/or can't tolerate high engine
compartment heat caused by turbochargers, even if a small turbo
can be found at reasonable price. So small superchargers are the
logical alterative. Unfortunately no inexpensive small superchargers
have ever been available, so back in 2001 our group launched a project
to produce an affordable small blower for the tens of millions of
engines the supercharger industry has ignored. The resulting Gator
supercharger is impressive -- better than anyone could have anticipated.
It produces industry level 5-6 psi performance (safe on almost any
engine with 8 to 1 or less compression), runs cool without expensive,
bulky intercoolers, and is so simple almost any backyard mechanic
can build one with common tools. No welding or lathe work is required
(except for a shaft any machine shop can make). Only a small bench
top drill press is recommended, which can be bought for less than
a hundred dollars if you don't have access to one.
This do-it-yourself book details development and construction of
small superchargers to fit almost any engine under 3 liters. It
starts with a short history of the McCulloch/Paxton superchargers
which we Studebaker fans have worked with since the 1960s, then
into belt drive turbos, and finally the new Toro dual side impeller
based Gator Supercharger. Hundreds of pages of valuable technical
information, photos, and drawings available nowhere else. These
superchargers can be used with draw-through or blow-through carbureted
systems and this subject is allso detailed in the book. It DOES
NOT cover fuel injection systems because of the potential costs
and complications of using OEM units with boost.
The Supercharging Small Engines Book is $14.95 plus $5.00 priority
mail shipping. (Check, Money Order, or PayPal) I DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE
THE U.S. DUE TO THE HIGH COSTS. |

well suited for blowers. Over 250 pages of technical information
written specifically for do-it-yourselfers installing their first
blower. Used Paxton superchargers are readily available on eBay
and elsewhere, and used turbochargers are plentiful for around
$100 at local wrecking yards. The contents of the book are divided
approximately equal between (1) buying and installing Paxton (or
other) superchargers, (2) Buying and installing used turbochargers,
(3) relevant K-W engine information, and (4) carburetor information/modifications.

potential lubrication problems, piston and rod swaps, high performance
cylinder head building including installing big valves/Chevy valve
conversions, engine parts interchanges and engine saving technical

STUDEBAKER
SUPER/TURBO BOOK

This
is the fifth generation of the long running Studebaker performance
book dealing exclusively with supercharging and turbocharging
the Studebaker V-8's. It details engine modifications required
for boosts as high as 30 psi and the resulting world class power
levels. The flexible Studebaker V-8 can be built in sizes from
202 cu.in. (224" crank in a 232" block) to 304 cu.in.
which opens numerous new areas of racing where they would be highly
competitive at a fraction of the cost of running "popular"
high performance engines. This book combines all the pertinent
engine material found in our older Studebaker engine book, plus
a large section on Paxton (and other) supercharging, plus turbocharging.
The largest and most complete Studebaker book ever with many new
pictures and material -- the most bang-for-the-buck you can find
anywhere today.

THE
STUDEBAKER EXTREME DUTY ENGINE BOOK
|
| |
|
This
Studebaker Engine book has been sold by the thousands over the
last three decades and has just gone through a major rebuild,
update, and reprint. It is specifically written to make it easy
for the do-it-yourselfer to modify the Studebaker 6/V-8 engines
for serious performance. It is not a restoration book.
The Studebaker V-8 is one of the toughest U.S. engines ever
built. Its high quality forged crankshaft and rods, 18 head bolts
per head, timing gears (instead of chains), solid tappets, and
thick cylinder walls make it a natural for high performance modifications,
especially supercharging or turbocharging. This performance manual
details both V-8 and 6 cylinder modifications and extreme duty
engine rebuilding, drivetrain, chassis, and brake upgrades. Also
many pages on cylinder head rebuilding, Chevy valve and scattershield
conversions. Fifty years of Studebaker high performance secrets
in a single book!
$14.95 plus $5.00 priority mail shipping.
