## Description

From the Publisher Engine Management: Advanced Tuning takes engine-tuning techniques to the next level. It is a must-have for tuners and calibrators and a valuable resource for anyone who wants to make horsepower with a fuel-injected, electronically controlled engine. The book contains detailed equations, graphs, and illustrations. Also included are valuable and practical examples, including real-world examples based upon the author's experience that will help more advanced readers apply this new information to situations that are commonly seen during calibration. Taking Measure The sharp bend immediately in front of the MAF sensor in this photo has a pronounced effect upon readings. This installation often requires an adjustment to the transfer function in the PCM like the ported meter shown earlier. (Nate Tovey) Outputs Removing the distributor from the chain of ignition components allows more precise control of spark events. These coil packs can recharge quickly enough to fire on both power and exhaust strokes, improving emissions. (Nate Tovey) Ignition The Subaru STI features one of the most advanced engines today. Electronic throttle control, active knock control, and an intercooled turbocharger help contribute to a specific output of over 120 hp per liter, with plenty of room for aftermarket improvement. Data Logging Load bearing chassis dynamometers like this MD1100 allow the calibrator to test at steady state as well as realistic dynamic sweeping conditions. Cooling the vehicle during these tests often requires several external fans. (Nate Tovey) Ford Tuning GM Tuning The GENIII (LS1, LS6, LQ9) engine family represents a large step forward in performance and technology for GM. The only things it has in common with its predecessors are bore spacing and manufacturer’s label. Although still pushrod activated, it rivals the specific output and emissions of the most advanced OHC competitors with potential for tremendous performance increases. Standalone EFI Systems Standalone systems are replacing carburetors in more and more project vehicles. This small block Chevy no longer needs to worry about changing jets with the weather.

Review: Great book for beginners - After becoming interested in the tuning process for my 2006 Subaru WRX I ran into this book and after looking at the reviews decided it would be a good start. After reading it all the way through I can say that it was a perfect fit for where I was at knowledge wise. I'd say this is a good fit for someone that already works on cars and has a solid understanding of the basics of how a gasoline engine works and what the basics components in the engine bay are. When you want to go past the basics and learn what's really making the efi system work this will explain in detail each part of tuning an engine. It covers engine ecu inputs and outputs, sensors, how they work, and the part each plays in the tuning process as well as the steps you take when the car is on the Dyno to start developing an accurate model of engine airflow and fuel flow to make everything run right. I'll say that I did get lost during a few more technical parts of the book but I probably understood about 80-90% of what was touched on and I think that is a real success. With some work memorizing some important terms and perhaps another read through or two of the more complex parts I'll have a solid understanding of the basics. For someone looking at this book with a background in Subarus I can say that the book offers several pictures of and references to the WRX STI and for the year the book was released all the info is relevant for your GD and GR model year Subaru's using the USDA EJ20 and 25 engines. I really would have liked to see a specific example of the approach to tuning a Subaru or really anly import in general but unfortunately the only examples in the book are for Ford and GM vehicles. Less time spent on carborator and distributor discusion and function would he appreciated in an updated version as well sense they are not involved in an EFI system and don't help to teach EFI concepts except for maybe a very brief overview of their purpose compared to current day technologies. Non the less, the info contained was very useful to me and with more reading and some hands on practice I think this books will get a beginner well on their way to understanding efi and getting started with some basic tuning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tuning book I've found, by far
*by C***G on April 7, 2009*

I've looked wide and far, and this is one of the few books that I have come across that seem like they try to address the actual subject of how to tune a car using a modern engine management system. Besides this book, I've also read another book you will find here on Amazon with "Engine Management Systems" in its name and a Ford Focus on the cover. Let me tell you, this book is far better because it gives you much more practial information. The other positive note is, this is probably the most recent book on the subject (that's worth reading) to come out. To begin with, this book is a much easier read. The word count per page is not too high, it has some nice illustrations to break things up and help you visualize different concepts, and the author doesn't ramble on and on repeating the same stuff 5+ times throughout the book(like some other book I know). This book breaks the tuning process into several different stages surrounded with concepts that an aspiring tuner needs to understand and address about their particular vehicle before even getting to a dyno. For some reviewers who said this book is incomplete and never gets to the good stuff, or that it's engineer b.s., I have a feeling that those people were looking for a book that's going to hold their hand for their particular engine management system and tell them if they have mods x, y, and z then to put 22 degrees of ignition timing in at a certain spot of their map. Not gonna happen. I feel Mr. Banish is as clear and specific as he can possibly be in a book that appeals to everyone, without coming to your house to figure out the actual settings to input for you. He even concludes the book with a very nice summary that illustrates what the overall process is to correctly tune a car from the time you first modify the car until months after you had your dyno time. A plan of attack if you will, that should keep even a newbie on track. I myself was not a novice before reading this book, not a professional either, but more of an experienced hobbyist. This book inevitably covers a few things most of us have heard before, but I even learned some new tricks and came to understand some concepts better than before (things that I even thought I understood fully before). A few things the author talks about are somewhat advanced/abstract, so if you don't have any first-hand experience with a standalone (like Power FC, like I have) or an intricate piggyback (such as E-manage), then a few things will likely fly over your head. In conclusion, I can't recommend this book any more strongly if you plan on having any type of engine management on your car.
