Book Reviews of Building Honda K-Series Engine Performance (Cartech)

Book Review: Underrated
Summary: 4 Stars

The strength of this book is its rather heavy testing of off the shelf, bolt-on modifications. In doing so, it gives people considering an engine upgrade a good initial direction.

I also like that the author stresses the obvious but often ignored point that in order to modify any engine effectively and safely requires tuning. (Who knows how much money and how many hearts this book will save.)

This is not a how-to-design-a-proprietary-600hp-bolt-on-kit book; nor is it advertised as such. But if you want your K to sing really well, you don't have the cash, time, expertise or interest in mastering the relevant engineering and black arts, and are not interested in spending a good part of your productive time reinventing what others have already brought to market, this is an excellent starter.

Summary of Building Honda K-Series Engine Performance (Cartech)

The all-new K-series engines are now found in all Honda and Acura performance models, and are also becoming the engine swap of choice.?In Building Honda K-Series Engine Performance, author Richard Holdener gives you a detailed description of the K-series engines, followed by a put up or shut up account of all kinds of aftermarket performance parts. Holdener uses over 400 color photos and dyno graphs to help you separate the advertising hype from the real K-series performance. You'll find chapters detailing upgrades to the intake, exhaust, cylinder heads, camshafts, and short block, as well as on how to add turbochargers, superchargers, and nitrous oxide. Don't spend your hard-earned cash figuring out what works and what doesn't--pick up Building Honda K-Series Engine Performance and know for sure.???
