Synopsis:
A practical guide to modifying and tuning modern electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems, including engine control units (ECUs). The book starts out with plenty of foundational topics on wiring, fuel systems, sensors, different types of ignition systems, and other topics to help ensure the reader understands how EFI Systems work. Next the book builds on that foundation, helping the reader to understand the different options available: Re-tuning factory ECUs, add on piggyback computers, or all out standalone engine management systems. Next Matt and Jerry help the reader to understand how to configure a Standalone EMS, get the engine started, prep for tuning, and tune the engine for maximum power and drivability. Also covered is advice on tuning other functions-- acceleration enrichments, closed loop fuel correction, and more. Finally, the book ends with a number of case studies highlighting different vehicles and the EMS solutions that were chosen for each, helping to bring it all together with a heavy emphasis on how you can practically approach your projects and make them successful!
Review:
"We've all heard that an educated consumer is a better customer. It would seem that authors Jerry Hoffmann and Matt Cramer of DIYAutoTune are firm believers in this axiom. Their new book, "Performance Fuel Injection Systems, " expertly walks readers through the processes and pitfalls of working with aftermarket fuel-injection systems. Despite their MegaSquirt-heavy business model at DIYAutoTune, the authors deliver an even-handed look at all of the players in the market. While this book is a must-read for beginners, we're keeping it on our shelf to use as a reference for future conversions."
