hi mate ive read all the books you posted appart from the Hillier books,,,

buy the forced induction by a g bell,,, and maximum boost by corky bell, both good reads

the pinto book is great to learn to rebuild a pinto,, and all it really says about rebuilding a YB is for N/A ones, but still give alot of good guilds too building engines in genral

Read - and its a good book, I give it to BMW apprentices as their course book


http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

Dave Walker is a great guy and this is a good book, but it won't teach you to map a car... what you will understand by reading it is the way fuel and injection works!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

G Bell is also a very good read, but it is not a beginers book.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

Not read this edition, but the previous one is off little value IMO.



http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

Yup a good read but there are better ones... this is a bit basic.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

GREAT BOOK but again its in depth and technical so not a good beginers book.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

One I've not got/read lol - so no idea

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...166254-0453552

CRAP! Very old and out of date - *BUT* its a good starting point for beginners, just don't take it as gospel!


All IMO of course LOL!
