Product Description
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.

Total waste of money. I couldnt have been more disappointed.
No info for the everyday mechanic or weekend racer. Its all engineer BS
So mad I bought this book. Its not what you think it is. its very brief
and had only a couple of pages 2 or 3 on HPTuners In went deep into stuff
you would never use in everyday tuning. Dont waste your money
I did it for you. I cant believe this book was published.

Good info on the basic’s of racing engines ie… getting air in and out, ignition, turbos, data logging. The only problem is a race car is based on an optimal compromise so in order to be effective you need the whole picture of the race car an not just the engine (breaks, diff, gearing, tyres ect…)they all intersect each other and change the dynamics of their performance.

It’s not that the title said, when You enter at the point of specific theme of fuel inyection the autor jump to a “lets to a professional technician” or “it’s only for expert”. I expect more for the book, other books are more complete with the theme.

This book is well organized and is full of pictures. I really enjoyed the clear writing style of the author. The information is given in a simple way, however, I would like to have seen a little more focus on the theoretical side. Being an American book, Diesel engines are not covered.

I had taken Greg’s tuning class and decided to buy the book. The book was so well written that I gave to a friend and just bought another.
