From the step-by-step of tuning idle, throttle enrichment and high- and low-loads, to tuning for best fuel economy. Mapping exhaust gas recirculation for better throttle response, to safely retarding ignition timing with increased intake air temps. PID tuning loops explained in easy to understand language, directly measuring the crank reference indicator position, and how Lambda numbers relate to air/fuel ratios - they're all here. And if you're just starting out in this area, there's also coverage of the fundamentals of engine management systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So you know about engines. And you may have read some of the Haynes manuals, the "Holley Carburetors" and the "How-to..." books. Maybe you know how to repair and put together an engine. The next step is to tune your engine, so it runs perfectly and produces the most power. If that engine has non-stock components, the books mentioned above can't help you. When it comes to tuning the ignition and the carburetor on a performance engine, including how the different adjustments affect each other, there has never been a single source of reliable, easy-to-understand information. Now there is. This book takes you through the various steps in the process of adjusting your ignition and your carburetor, including the very important sequence in which they must be done. It deals with questions like: If I turn the idle mixture screw out, and the engine responds like this, should I then turn the screw more and in which direction? How do I ensure absolutely optimum jetting of my carburetor? How do I create a distributor curve that optimizes ignition timing at idle, part throttle and wide open throttle? All the questions you've come across when trying to adjust your engine for performance are answered here. The simple step-by-step instructions in this book only require your time and effort. Techniques like plug reading and using a vacuum gauge are described in detail. Only standard tools are needed-no dyno or anything like that is required. In addition to engine tuning, this book contains advice on choosing the right parts, to ensure that they will complement each other, not work against each other. Plus there are many tips on troubleshooting and on winning races. Finally the book also contains special tuning tips for boat engines, including a chapter on the differences between a car engine and a boat engine. This is the last book on engine tuning you'll ever need.

Download or read book Tuning for Economy written by Colin Campbell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the typical motorist who, as shown in the first chapter, only looks at his engine when he remembers to check the oil level or has noticed a tendency to misfire under load. He could be aware that the car no longer gives the good mpg it gave when he bought it as an 'immaculate used car' and could be wondering what to do about it. This book will tell him. The richer motorists in their new Jaguars and Mercedes - the ones that flash past us on the Motorway - never worry about fuel consumption. This book is not for them. Here, then, is an explanation of the principles of tuning, fol lowed by a simple step-by-step DIY tuning schedule. A hard look is taken at the many magical economy devices offered in the Press. Two of these are shown to stand up to critical examination and honest testing, namely some electronic ignition kits and the Kenlowe electric fan. Two more devices show marginal gains in economy. Finally, we offer advice on how to approach the economy driving techniques of the successful Economy Rally drivers. Since we live in such a cynical age we find it necessary to state that we have no connections with, nor have received any financial inducements from, any of the recommended firms making tun ing equipment or economy aids. We must thank these companies for all the useful information they have supplied. A full list is given in the Appendix.
