high-revving, sport compacts are today's most popular cars. They
have developed a cult following among today's youth and are fueling
a multi-million dollar industry in modification parts and
equipment. While most owners of sport compacts can afford the
simple bolt-ons available, some owners want to take their
modifications a step further. There is intense competition to be
the fastest, and quite often the only way to win is to go to the
next level - by installing a supercharger/blower or turbocharger on
your engine. This book is an enthusiast's guide to understanding,
installing, and using turbochargers and superchargers on sport
compact cars. It covers the basics of each system and compares
their pros and cons. Typical installations are covered and
explained in detail, as is building and tuning small displacement
4- and 6-cylinder engines to maximize performance and reliability
with forced induction.
The photos in this edition are black and white. Sport compact
vehicles - Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, and even the Ford Focus - and
the alteration of these vehicles is the fastest growing automotive
performance market in the country. Nitrous oxide injection is the
perferred performance enhancement for street driven vehicles and is
on of the easiest, least expensive, and fastest way to
substantially increase engine horsepower while maintaining everyday
drivability. Used incorrectly, nitrouse oxide can destroy an
engine. This title shows the reader how to produce safe, nitrous
enhanced power from high-revving, small desplacement, 4-cylinder
engines.
Following in the footsteps of the very popular Volume I, this work
focuses on suspension modifications, brake technology, nitrous
oxide tuning, aerodynamic body mods, fuels, dragstrip performance
driving tips, etc. for these front drive wonder cars. Illustrated
with hundreds of b/w photos.
This first-ever work takes an in-depth look at what enthusiasts are
doing to increase performance of Honda products. Included are
lightning-fast drag cars, impressive street sleepers, and beautiful
examples of metal/body work.The best Honda tuners in the country
tell you how to build a Honda engine that'll turn your competition
into smoke Instead of the usual bolt-on flogs, this book covers all
the fundamentals of super-tuning your high-performance Honda
engine. From intake to exhaust and everything you've ever wanted to
