How to Tune & Modify Engine Management Systems
How to Tune & Modify Engine Management Systems by Jeff Hartman http://www.motorbooks.com
Doug from Hondata was skimming through the book and thought is was worth a read, at the Hondata Seminar. Ive skimmed through it roughly and its pretty detailed on theory and tuning different standalones, even talks about ghettodyne
This book talks about everything we learned in EFI 101 class as well, probably more in depth. Must buy at $18.08 plus shipping from the walmart site. Amazon probably has it too, but when i searched, Walmart was the cheapest.
Book mentions Hondata a lot, even thou Doug was surprised they were in the book. Bob Norwood pics are plenty in the book. This will sit next to my Maximum Boost book from now on
Here are the chapters in the book:
1 - Understanding Fuel Delivery
2 - Understanding Automotive Computers and PROMs
3 - Sensors
4 - Actuators and Actuator Systems
5 - Hot Rodding EFI Engines
6 - Recalibrating Factory ECUs
7 - Interceptors and Auxiliary Computers
8 - Standalone Programmable Engine Management Systems
9 - EMS/EFI Engine-Swapping
10 - Roll-Your-Own EFI
11 - Installation and Startup Issues
12 - Designing, Modifying, and Building Intake Manifolds
13 - EMS Tuning 101
14 - EMS Troubleshooting
15 - Emissions and Onboard Diagnostics
16 - Project Vehicles
This was released end of January 2004.

Re: How to Tune & Modify Engine Management Systems (int3gra)
someone not too long was talking about this book, said it wasnt all that great.
i have yet to get it, so i can not personally comment, someone who's read it let us know how it is.

Re: How to Tune & Modify Engine Management Systems (Mase)
this is not a step by step tuning book if thats what people might be looking for. It does explain what the options in the software are, but no way a step by step screen shot of how to tune from start to finish. i got it to learn the theory aspects. please comment those that have read it. Im probably gonna get to it next month after exams are over.
