This book is for the reader that has a good
grasp of the basics of engine management. It takes the basics and
expands on them to a level where the reader can understand how to
improve and adjust factory ECUs and aftermarket ECUs.
This book gives the fundamental perspective of
electronic engine management. It explains the factors that car
manufacturers look at when designing their maps. This book gives the
reader a very sound understanding of the fundamentals of engine
management.
The original and probably still the best book
available for understanding and designing turbo systems from the
ground up. Covers everything from the basics right up to selecting
intercooler sizes and reading compressor maps.
Not as in depth as the books above but this
book takes a much more hands on approach to actually installing and
setting up a stand alone engine management system. It covers such
things as sensor placement and building a map from nothing. It
perfectly complements the 2 books above.
A nuts and bolt look at engine tuning. The
book above looks at the electronic fundamentals, this book looks at
the mechanical fundamentals. Covers such things as cam timing,
exhaust header lengths, correct oil selection. An old school book
but the points made still stand true today.
If there is one book to buy which explains the
current credit crisis in plain English, this it. Absolute gold.
