Product Description:
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 engine management to the building of complicated project cars. Hartman has substantially updated the material from his 1993 MBI book Fuel Injection (0-879387-43-2) to address the incredible developments in automotive fuel injection technology from the past decade, including the multitude of import cars that are the subject of so much hot rodding today. Hartman's text is extremely detailed and logically arranged to help readers better understand this complex topic.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - How to Tune & Modify Engine Management Systems by Jeff Hartman
This is the only book that has a lot of formulas, and describes each car component in the EEC-IV systems. It describes what is needed to not only tune but modify the setups. Plenty of Graphs and plots.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Information Goldmine
Personally, I think everyone who owns a car should read this book, or at least the key early sections detailing the process by which your car's computer controls the engine and reacts to internal and external stimuli. If you didn't know the material before, look under your hood before and after reading the book and you will sense a dramatic difference as what looked like a mess of wires and tubes and sensors will have assembled itself into a cohesive system designed to make your engine operate and ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The ultimate guide.
It doesnt get any better than this! Another "Motorbooks workshop" series book.Its 270 pages in colour that explains in great detail engine management systems.

There is at least one fault,its a bit too technical for some people but its still a great book.

There are plenty of diagrams and photographs throughout.If you are building a street machine or hot rod and want to consider EMS instead of carby engines this book will explain it all.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does not cover engine Management System tuning
This book is a great book for overview if you never knew how a car works. It's a great book for basics and has several projects that are glossed over. Its' got lots of great photos.

Not one place does the book talk about Engine Management tuning. Fuel Maps, Ignition maps, what you are looking at, what they mean, basics like adjusting the 2bar spark map for turbo, etc... It talks a lot about history and products but does not cover what it says it does which is the actual engine management ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE BOOK on EMS systems
this book is detailed enough in its explanations that a programmer could write his own engine management system. It is good to the point that if you own one of the many project cars mentioned you should buy this book. The author obviously knows a LOT about engine management systems. If you ever worried about the specifics such as proper ignition timing or what the best AFR would be in situation x , this book is the answer. There is no reason to make this review lengthy, the book is very good. I am very ... Read More
