Design of Racing and High-Performance Engines 1998-2003

The 52 technical papers in this book show the improvements and design techniques that researchers have applied to performance and racing engines. They provide an insight into what the engineers consider to be the top improvements needed to advance engine technology; and cover subjects such as:

Direct injection

Valve spring advancements

Turbocharging

Variable valve control

Combustion evaluation

New racing engines

Design of Racing and High-Performance Engines is an update to an earlier version edited by Joseph Harralson (Design of Racing and High-Performance Engines, 1995, PT-53, published by SAE), and picks up where Harralson's book leaves off, examining the progression of technology in racing and high performance engines from 1998 through early 2003.
