As tools for tuning modern engines have become more powerful and
sophisticated in recent years, the need for in-depth knowledge of engine
management systems and tuning techniques has grown. Tuning engines can be a
mysterious art, all engines need a precise balance
of fuel, air, and timing in order to reach their true performance
potential. This book explains how the EFI system determines engine operation
and how the calibrator can change the controlling parameters to optimize
actual engine performance. 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. Author
Greg Banish is a calibration engineer with extensive aftermarket
performance calibration experience. He has a BSME from GMI Engineering and
Management Institute (Kettering University). With over a thousand unique
calibrations performed over five years, he has worked with enthusiasts and
OEMs alike to improve the performance and driving behavior of a wide range
of vehicles. 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.

So you've decided that fuel injection is for you, but want to know more.
Many questions surround what appears to many as
more of a black art than science. Engine tuning used to be the hallowed
ground of vehicle engineers and cutting-edge hot rodders.
For years, the carburetor filled the needs of enthusiasts and provided
simple adjustments at the end of a flat-bladed screwdriver. But today,
electronic controls for engines are the norm. Even the casual enthusiast
who actually drives his favorite hot rod on the streets can easily see the
benefit of increased precision when he fires the car up for the first time
each spring. A properly tuned EFI system rarely needs anything more than the
turn of the key to come to life. Following up his best-selling title,
Engine Management: Advanced Tuning, author Greg Banish goes in-depth on the
combustion basics of fuel injection as well as benefits and limitations of
standalone. Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel Injection Systems
will help you learn useful formulas, VE equation and airflow estimation,
and more. It also covers setups and calibration, creating VE tables,
creating timing maps, auxiliary output controls, and start
to finish calibration examples with screen shots to document the process.
Useful appendixes include a glossary and a special resource guide with
standalone manufacturers and test equipment manufacturers. Aftermarket
standalone systems are a great way to dial in performance and reliability.
Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel-Injection Systems is the book
you need to become an expert in this popular modification.
