How to Tune and Modify Automotive Engine Management Systems - All New Edition: Upgrade Your Engine to Increase Horsepowe (Motorbooks Workshop)

"Understanding fuel injection and engine management systems is the key to extracting higher performance from today's automobiles in a safe, reliable, and driveable fashion. Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous oxide, high compression ratios, radical camshafts: all are known to make horsepower, but without proper understanding and control of fuel injection and other electronic engine management systems, these popular power-adders will never live up to their potential and, at worst, can cause expensive engine damage. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience and a background of more than 1,000 magazine articles on the subject, engine-control expert Jeff Hartman explains everything from the basics of fuel injection to the building of complex project cars. Hartman covers the latest developments in fuel-injection and engine management technology applied by both foreign and domestic manufacturers, including popular aftermarket systems. No other book in the market covers the subject of engine management systems from as many angles and as comprehensively as this book. Through his continuous magazine writing, author Jeff Hartman is always up-to-date with the newest fuel-injection and engine management products and systems."-- "How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems is Jeff Hartman's follow-up to his best-selling title of the same name. Featuring over 300 photographs and illustrations, this technical manual is a dream for those wishing to upgrade their stock engines."-- Cover 1 Title 2 Contents 3 Introduction 4 CHAPTER 1 Understanding Fuel Delivery 14 CHAPTER 2 Understanding Automotive Computers and PROMs 25 CHAPTER 3 Sensors and Sensor Systems 38 CHAPTER 4 Actuators and Actuator Systems 56 CHAPTER 5 Hot Rodding EFI Engines 75 CHAPTER 6 Hot Rodding Electronic Diesel Engines 92 CHAPTER 7 Recalibrating Factory ECMs 102 CHAPTER 8 Tuning with Piggybacks, Interceptors, and Auxiliary Components 115 CHAPTER 9 Standalone Programmable Engine Management Systems 129 CHAPTER 10 EMS/EFI Engine Swapping 147 CHAPTER 11 Roll-Your-Own EFI 159 CHAPTER 12 Installation and Start-up Issues 165 CHAPTER 13 Designing, Modifying, and Building Intake Manifolds 171 CHAPTER 14 EMS Tuning 178 CHAPTER 15 EMS Troubleshooting 222 CHAPTER 16 Emissions, OBD-II, and CAN Bus 240 CHAPTER 17 Project: Supercharging the 2010 Camaro SS 256 CHAPTER 18 Project: Twin-Turbo Lexus IS-F 262 CHAPTER 19 Project: Supercharged Jag-Rolet 270 CHAPTER 20 Project: 1970 Dodge Challenger B-Block 276 CHAPTER 21 Project: Real-World Turbo CRX Si 282 CHAPTER 22 Project: Honda del Sol Si Turbo 294 CHAPTER 23 Project: Turbo-EFI Jaguar XKE 4.2 300 CHAPTER 24 Project: Two-staged Forced Induction on the MR6 310 CHAPTER 25 Project: Overboosted VW Golf 1.8T 321 CHAPTER 26 Project: Frank-M-Stein: M3 Turbo Cabriolet 325 Appendix 328 Index 331 A 331 B 331 C 331 D 331 E 331 F 332 G 332 H 332 I 332 J 332 K 332 L 332 M 332 N 332 O 332 P 333 R 333 S 333 T 333 U 333 V 333 W 333 Y 333 "Understanding fuel injection and engine management systems is the key to extracting higher performance from today's automobiles in a safe, reliable, and driveable fashion.
