From the Publisher
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.
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.
Taking Measure
The sharp bend immediately in front of the MAF sensor in this photo has a pronounced effect upon readings. This installation often requires an adjustment to the transfer function in the PCM like the ported meter shown earlier. (Nate Tovey)
Outputs
Removing the distributor from the chain of ignition components allows more precise control of spark events. These coil packs can recharge quickly enough to fire on both power and exhaust strokes, improving emissions. (Nate Tovey)
Ignition
The Subaru STI features one of the most advanced engines today. Electronic throttle control, active knock control, and an intercooled turbocharger help contribute to a specific output of over 120 hp per liter, with plenty of room for aftermarket improvement.
Data Logging
Load bearing chassis dynamometers like this MD1100 allow the calibrator to test at steady state as well as realistic dynamic sweeping conditions. Cooling the vehicle during these tests often requires several external fans. (Nate Tovey)
Ford Tuning

GM Tuning
The GENIII (LS1, LS6, LQ9) engine family represents a large step forward in performance and technology for GM. The only things it has in common with its predecessors are bore spacing and manufacturer’s label. Although still pushrod activated, it rivals the specific output and emissions of the most advanced OHC competitors with potential for tremendous performance increases.
Standalone EFI Systems
Standalone systems are replacing carburetors in more and more project vehicles. This small block Chevy no longer needs to worry about changing jets with the weather.
