How to Repair Diesel Engines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A very nice overview of concepts for those who are familiar with gasoline engines and are making the transition to diesel engine repair or maintenance. You won't find much of value in the chapters on electrical systems, but everything else was perfect for someone making the transition.

Troubleshooting and Repairing Diesel Engines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is an excellent intro to Diesel engines, suitable for students of auto-mechanics, and do-it -yourselfers. It begins from basics, and goes all the way to the new electronic-controlled diesels. It shows systems from the major manufacturers, and includes small block designs. One drawback is the lack of color photos, but there are diagrams on every page. The book is worth its price.

Turbocharging Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I designed this book to distinguish itself from alternative turbocharging books in the following ways...
*Not just automotive: Content covers turbos in aviation, marine, tractor-pulling, motorcycles, diesel trucks, and other non-automotive turbosystems.
*Enhanced content about turbocharging theory, advanced technology, and turbocharging scientific history.
*Racing: Enhanced content about extreme turbocharging issues in drag racing, road racing, speed record racing, and street vehicles.
*Up to date: Comprehensive info about overboosting modern factory turbo powerplants equipped with full-authority closed-loop and other complex engine management issues, including piggybacks/interceptors, reprogramming factory computers, and complex aftermarket engine management systems.
*More about exotic high-tech heat management, including refrigerant and multi-stage intercooling.
*More about multi-stage ("compound-turbo") compressors, including combining turbos with superchargers (with a detailed twincharging car project).
*Enhanced theory relating to many types of air-superchargers, including the "superchargers" that front-end turbojet engines.
*More comprehensive mathematics than some other books, but much of it is packaged in one chapter at the end ("Turbo Math for Mechanics") as a serious of practical questions and answers: "How do I calculate how much the turbo will heat air," and so forth.
*A chapter on hotrod DIESEL turbocharging, and its challenges.
*Info on turbocharging with alternate fuels and dual-fuel injection.
*Info about Turbo tachometers.
*Multiple automotive project vehicles covering a range of vehicles and applications.
