Lightweight and high-revving, sport compacts are today's most popular cars. They have developed a cult following among today's youth and are fueling a multi-million dollar industry in modification parts and equipment. While most owners of sport compacts can afford the simple bolt-ons available, some owners want to take their modifications a step further. There is intense competition to be the fastest, and quite often the only way to win is to go to the next level - by installing a supercharger/blower or turbocharger on your engine. This book is an enthusiast's guide to understanding, installing, and using turbochargers and superchargers on sport compact cars. It covers the basics of each system and compares their pros and cons. Typical installations are covered and explained in detail, as is building and tuning smalldisplacement 4- and 6-cylinder engines to maximize performance and reliability with forced induction.

The modification of U.S. street cars in order to achieve increased performance has been an American tradition since the 1920s. With the influx of foreign cars, this activity has, quite appropriately, spilled over to include automobiles produced outside the US, with Honda quickly becoming the manufacturer of choice. This first ever work takes an in-depth look at what enthusiasts are doing to increase performance of Honda products. Included are lighting fast drag cars, impressive street sleepers, and beautiful examples of metal/body work.

Sport compact vehicles--Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, and even the Ford Focus--and the alteration of these vehicles is the fastest growing automotive performance market in the country, with sales to top $2 billion in 2002. Nitrous oxide injection is the preferred performance enhancement for street driven vehicles and is one of the easiest, least expensive, and fastest ways to substantially increase engine horsepower while maintaining everyday drivability. 
Used incorrectly, nitrous oxide can destroy an engine. This book shows readers how to produce safe, nitrous-enhanced power increases from their stock engines and details the proper methods to go beyond stock horsepower limits with reasonable reliability. Explicit advice on building engine combinations with the ability to contain the potential power of nitrous oxide is also given. Sport Compact Nitrous Injection presents advanced theory, allowing racing enthusiasts to push their machines to the competitive edge.
