![]() Tom Gillespies Vehicle Dynamics book is probably essential if you actually want to understand coordinate systems and dynamics, but is a bit lacking in interesting data. If you want a bit more maths, and some interesting curves, then Tires, Suspension and Handling by John C. There's a book of problems that comes with RCVD, I don't think I've got any of them right so far, first time. Copies of these books have a half life of two years, my RCVD is kept locked in my desk. Well, both the Milliken books are easy reads, RCVD especially so if you skim the aero. With Amazon, alibris and all the other search resources available, is there any need for that? There are plenty of books I can recommend but I am not going to fuss with ISBN numbers and all that. Half don't want to reveal all they know the other half all they don't know. Perhaps this is another of those areas where the experts are not forthcoming. Vizard's books are pretty decent as far as they go, but. Meanwhile, the standard text on intake and exhaust development in practice has yet to be written. To me the book is fresh and unconventional. Lumley's specialty is fluid dynamics but interestingly, he does not really focus there. But for some reason the Border's book chain in the USA picked it up for distribution and you can often find it in stock there. Which is even more unusual in that the book was originally intended as a companion to the Stanford ESP (Engine Simulation Program). ![]() Lumley may not be Hemingway but the text is very accessible. The title is totally misleading it's pretty hardcore. I have pimped this book here before, but I really like Engines: An Introduction, by John L. Is 21st Century Performance by Julian Edgar a good read? I'm interested in building an engine (4S, 4cyl, LPG) and would like to better know what to do and what not to do before getting too excited. Specifically I'm after a good modern book or links to online resources on the fundamentals of induction-port physics/engineering, cam timing and valves, combustion & fuel principles. I know there are lots of books/resources out there on lots of different areas of automotive engineering but perhaps there could be consensus on the top dozen must read arranged in categories. ![]() Hope I'm not being too forward suggesting this being a newbie here Maybe some of the experts on the forum could include a reviews on recommended readings? I know this can suck up admins time but it would be a great resource and contribute to improving education. This made me think that a Sticky like the Tech Papers PDFs but called Tech Books would be a great resource. I'm going to ask for a recommendation for some good books or authoritative online resources–some of the fundamental technical stuff is going over my head New here, what a great forum, I've been glued to my computer for two days! Thanks also to the forum admins for keeping it all going.
