How to Tune and Modify Automotive Engine Management Systems - All New Edition: Upgrade Your Engine to Increase Horsepowe

by Jeff Hartman

Understanding fuel injection and engine management systems is the key to extracting higher performance from today’s automobiles in a safe, reliable, and driveable fashion. Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous oxide, high compression ratios, radical camshafts: all are known to make horsepower, but without proper understanding and control of fuel injection and other electronic engine management systems, these popular power-adders will never live up to their potential and, at worst, can cause expensive engine damage. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience and a background of more than 1,000 magazine articles on the subject, engine-control expert Jeff Hartman explains everything from the basics of fuel injection to the building of complex project cars. Hartman covers the latest developments in fuel-injection and engine management technology applied by both foreign and domestic manufacturers, including popular aftermarket systems. No other book in the market covers the subject of engine management systems from as many angles and as comprehensively as this book. Through his continuous magazine writing, author Jeff Hartman is always up-to-date with the newest fuel-injection and engine management products and systems.

This book is absolutely fantastic for any enthusiast embarking on the world of Electronic Fuel Injection. If you already know what stoichiometric means and you know the difference between a MAP sensor and a MAF sensor, then maybe you can skip this one.

I cannot recommend this enough. Even if you just want to repair a car, this is enlightening. You don't need to be building racecars to read this book. If you can change your oil and brakes but are scared to change out a camshaft angle sensor, read this book. If you've posted on a forum asking about a check engine light and want to know more, read this book. If you've installed a COBB tune you found on the internet on your Subaru, read this book. If you are even THINKING about buying a standalone ECU, buy this book.

If you can't afford putting your time and money into this book, you cannot afford to modify your car.

Not so good, for me. A lot of text and few equations. However good if you want to know everything except for the math.
