Your Diesel Vehicle on Biofuels has everything you need to make the
switch from expensive, environment-damaging carbon fuel to cheap
(and, in many cases, free), clean fuel for your vehicle. Practical
and decidedly apolitical, this unique guide focuses on technical
details, parts, and instructions.Inside, you'll find step-by-step
instructions accompanied by helpful illustrations for such projects
as building and properly using a homemade biodiesel reactor, which

fraction of the price of gas or even on second-hand oil obtained
from restaurants free of charge. Run Your Diesel Vehicle on
Biofuels also includes a list of international parts suppliers and
various manufacturers' warranty statuses regarding vehicles
converted to biodiesel. Projects include: Collecting waste oil
Building a waste-oil processor Creating biodiesel fuel Converting
your car to professional standards Constructing heat exchangers Run
Your Diesel Vehicle on Biofuels covers: * History and functions of
the diesel engine * Benefits of biofuel * Where to obtain raw
ingredients * Theory of fuel conversion * Existing conversion kits
o Blends, emulsions, and thinners * Processing and discarding waste

A faithful reproduction of the 1970 Floyd Clymer publication of the
official Honda Factory Workshop Manual specific to the 1962-1969
n10 50cc Sport Cub series of motorcycles. This manual includes all
of the data that you would expect from a factory publication for
the repair and overhaul of all major and minor mechanical and
electrical components. It also includes a comprehensive
troubleshooting section plus tables of technical data, tolerances
and fits making it an invaluable resource for collectors and
restorers of these classic Honda motorcycles. There are 55
illustrations and each procedure is explained in a step-by-step
method using an appropriate illustration. The translation from
Japanese to English is, at times, a little quirky but the
illustrations make up for any difficulty in understanding what
needs to be done There are separate sections that deal with the
repair and overhaul procedures for the engine, transmission, wheels
and brakes, front forks, frame and carburetor, plus a detailed
electrical service section. This is a - must have - reference for
any Honda enthusiast and would certainly assist in helping any
potential purchaser better understand the inner workings prior to
purchasing one of these classic motorcycles. Out-of-print and
unavailable for many years, this book is highly sought after on the
secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this
reproduction as a service to all Honda enthusiasts worldwide.

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 and
technology march on, updates are required to keep things current,
and that's exactly what this new, all-color edition of Street
Supercharging does. It covers blower basics, blower background and
history, a tutorial on how blowers work, information on used
superchargers and their practicality, chapters on the different
styles of superchargers, like the traditional roots style blowers
vs. the emerging centrifugal styles, blower installation, how to
build your engine to handle the demands of a blower application,
and information on tweaking factory blower systems.

Mitsubishi's 4G63t engine is among the most powerful engines ever
in the sport-compact world. It's not uncommon to find one of these
four-cylinder, iron-block, aluminum-headed, 2-liter turbocharged
monsters making more than 1,000 horsepower with the right
modifications and tuning - well above the 200-300 hp produced in
the factory-made engines. Bolted into such cars as the Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution, Eclipse, and Galant, and the Eagle Talon and
Plymouth Laser, the 4G63t has more than a cult following among
sport-compact enthusiasts, who know and respect this engine's
immense performance potential at the track or on the street. Up
until now, in-depth performance information on the 4G63t has been
hard to find. For this book, author Robert Bowen went straight to
the source, Robert Garcia of Road/Race Engineering in Santa Fe
Springs, California. RRE is the most well-known and respected
Mitsubishi turbo performance shop in the United States, and Garcia
is its in-house engine builder. Mitsubishi enthusiasts will benefit
from Garcia's expertise and be able to build better, stronger
engines than ever before. How to Build Max-Performance Mitsubishi
4G63t Engines covers every system and component of the engine,
including the turbocharger system and engine management. More than
just a collection of tips and tricks, this book includes a complete
history of the engine and its evolution, an identification guide,
and advice for choosing engine components and other parts. Profiles
of successful built-up engines show the reader examples of what
works, and the book includes helpful guidance for choosing your own
engine building path. The photos in this edition are black and
white.

Skylarks, GSXs, Grand Nationals, Rivieras, Gran Sports; the list of
formidable performance Buicks is impressive. From the torque
monsters of the 1960s to the high-flying Turbo models of the '80s,
Buicks have a unique place in performance history.During the 1960s,
when word of the mountains of torque supplied by the big-inch
Buicks hit the street, nobody wanted to mess with them. Later,
big-inch Buicks and the Hemi Chryslers went at it hammer and tongs
in stock drag shootouts and in the pages of the popular musclecar
magazines of the day. The wars between the Turbo Buicks and Mustang
GTs in the 1980s also were legendary, as both cars responded so
well to modifications.The photos in this edition are black and
white.For years enthusiasts of General Motors vehicles that were
not Chevys have had to struggle to find information about
performance modifying their beloved Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, and
Buicks. It seems that every other performance book was another
twist to modifying the small- or big-block Chevy, with nothing on
the other General marques. The magazines haven't been any better.
With the recent publication of our How to Build Max-Performance
Pontiacs book, and now this book, all of that is changing Enter How
to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines How to Build Max-Performance
Buick Engines is the first performance engine book ever published
on the Buick family of engines. This book covers everything from
the Nailheads of the '50s and early '60s, to the later evolutions
of the Buick V-8 through the '60s and '70s, through to the turbo
V-6 models of the '70s and '80s. Veteran magazine writer and Buick
owner Jefferson Bryant supplies the most up-to-date information on
heads, blocks, cams, rotating assemblies, interchangeability, and
oiling-system improvements and modifications, along with details on
the best performance options available, avenues for aftermarket
support, and so much more. Finally, the Buick camp gets the
information they have been waiting for, and it's all right here in
