Once the limits of a naturally aspirated engine are achieved in terms of horsepower and reliability, there's only one more way to maximize horsepower potential: forced induction. There are two options for realistic forced induction, a turbocharger or a supercharger. While there is considerable debate over which is better, both offer exponential gains over any standard modification on a normally aspirated engine.

Street Supercharging, from industry veteran Pat Ganahl, has been the guidebook for supercharging fans for years. As time...

Das Thema der Monographie von Klaus Bellmann umfasst eine von jeher zentrale, aber jetzt zunehmend aktuelle Problematik fur die Weltwirtschaft, fur jede Volkswirtschaft, fur viele Betriebswirtschaften und fur alle Haushalte. Wenn sich die zustandigen Wirtschafts wissenschaften und die Ingenieurwissenschaften damit bisher lediglich verbal befasst haben, so hat das sicher mehrere Grunde: Die Dauer der Nutzung von ProduktionsanIa gen wird zwar -seit Steuern von den Unternehmen erhoben werden -intensiv und kontro vers diskutiert, aber ob die Vertreter des Fiskus oder die der Steuerpflichtigen die...

This book should be considered an essential read for anyone looking to turbocharge his or her engine and get the best performance and reliability they can. Many would love to add the power of a turbo, but don't know where to start or what to buy. They instead pay thousands of dollars more to buy a "kit" that at times works, and many times doesn't. Many feel overwhelmed and lost in undertaking such a large project, but this book will be a guide with step-by-step descriptions through the process of turbocharging and tuning an engine.

In his three previously-published books, Composite Materials: Fabrication Handbooks, Volumes 1-3 Author and Professor John Wanberg, took pains to explain the why and how of building with composite materials. Each page was allocated equally between photos and text.

In this new book of step-by-step projects, John takes a different approach. Instead of explaining the theory and what each component is made of, John cuts to the chase. Nearly every page is allocated to photos.

The pictures lead the reader through a detailed how-to sequence. From making the mold, cutting the fabric, and...

Die Fahrzeugindustrie gehort zu den Branchen, die sich in der Produktentwicklung auf Rechen- und Simulationsverfahren abstutzen. Ursache dafur ist, dass es die scharfe Konkurrenzsituation auf dem Automobilmarkt erfordert, fur den Kunden optimale Produkte zu entwickeln bei einem Minimum an Kosten. War in der Vergangenheit die Methode "trial und error" vorherrschend, d. h. die Produkt optimierung erfolgte auf experimentellem Weg mittels aufwendiger Versuche, so muss heute die Entwicklung des Fahrzeuges im wesentlichen abgeschlossen sein, bevor die ersten Prototypen gebaut sind. Die damit...

Since its introduction in 1965, the big-block Chevy engine has been a force to be reckoned with on both the street and track. Over the past four decades, the big-block has undergone a constant evolution toward greater efficiency and durability. It's also picked up more displacement, as General Motors is now offering crate engines up to 572 ci, and aftermarket versions have gone much larger still.

In How to Build Killer Big-Block Chevy Engines, author Tom Dufur reviews the commonly available factory parts along with many aftermarket...
