Does anyone know what happened with the Bowen engine book?


Recommended Posts

In doing some research about building an LGT/OBXT engine, I ran across this ad for a book that sounded on topic:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Subaru-EJ20-Engines-Performance-Paperback/dp/B015QKH786/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=bowen+subaru&qid=1590266288&sr=8-2

 

Of course the price is nonsense, but I searched elsewhere. No one had it in stock. I checked with the publisher and was told it was never published.

 

Does anyone know what happened with it? Are there other books with good EJ2x content?

I would guess the best substitute would be the service manual. but you may have it.

Between the guy's here who have race cars and info over on NASIOC.com you should be able to get all the info you need.

 

The first question people need to know is, what is you HP goal ?

 

Then, do you plan to use as a DD ?

 

I can tell you my set up is been a poster child for how to have a fun reliable DD. Like I tell most, see my Click Here link in my sig.

 

It really is that simple. I'm still on the stock injectors that came in the car. Did upgrade the fuel pump to a AEM320 a couple years back just because I had a leak at the tank.
