If you're looking to add some power under the hood of your sport compact, you have more than a few options. But what if you really want to take it to the next level? Just Add Boost. Complete turbo and blower kits are available from manufacturers like Jackson Racing, HKS, Garrett, and Greddy - even Vortech, Procharger, and Edelbrock. So how do you tell them all apart, and which one is right for you? Take a look inside Sport Compact Turbos & Blowers - the answers are right here.
Author Joe Pettitt devotes a chapter each to blower and turbo theory (i.e., how and why they build you serious power), before diving in and exploring the Roots blowers, centrifugal blowers, and turbo kits available today. He shows you how to optimize your boosted setup with the proper tuning and accessories, and how to build your engine to handle even more boost - if and when it comes to that. There's even a chapter that follows turbo and blower development through the years.
Joe Pettitt is also the author behind CarTech's Sport Compact Nitrous Injection Guide, High-Performance Honda Builder's Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2, How to Design and Install High-Performance Car Stereo, and Sport Compact Bolt-On Performance Guide.
Sport Compact Turbos & Blowers features over 275 photos, line drawings, and formulas to get you up to speed on how to boost your ride.
