Description
DIYAutoTune CEO Jerry Hoffmann & Lead Engineer Matt Cramer explain practically everything you need to know about EFI in their illustrated book, Performance Fuel Injection Systems. Hoffmann & Cramer cover what you need to know about EFI system selection, installation options and tuning, including:
- MUST HAVE tools for working with electronics
- How to build an exceptional wiring harness
- Selection guide for choosing injectors, throttle bodies, fuel pumps, and other EFI system components
- A comparison of various standalone EFI systems currently on the market
- Dyno tuning and other tuning methods
- Piggyback devices
- Chips and stock ECU hacks
- AN ENTIRE CHAPTER ON TROUBLESHOOTING EFI installations
Our approach to EFI systems and tuning was a purely practical angle, leaving out some of the super technical details that may tend to bog some down, and just trying to write about what the reader would need to know to make their project a success. We cover all the basics, and then dive into tuning on the track and on the dyno, with very practical ‘how to tune’ type walkthroughs (fuel and ignition timing) to help the reader understand the process and remove the mystery. We also cover some common, and not-so-common troubleshooting scenarios and finish with case studies of customer cars, demonstrating some of the unique issues and questions one might need to overcome and answer.
Performance Fuel Injection Systems is not a MegaSquirt-specific book but does speak from our experience. Many of the tuning software screenshots and other references/images will be HIGHLY recommended for anyone diving into a MegaSquirt project, and highly educational for someone diving into ANY EFI project. If you’re doing a MegaSquirt project, Performance Fuel Injection Systems serves as the perfect practical compliment to the product manual.

HelpfullI'm an old guy that's knows carburetors and nothing about fuel injection. After reading this book I now have a better handle on how FI works. The book explains the different sensors, what they do and how they work together. I'll read the book again then dive into my sand rail project that is fuel injected with the confidence that I know what's going on.
Thanks

Great infor for an EFI Newbie, but........Good book, lots of good infor, but a lot of it is 10+ years old so there's some updating that could be done.

This book is a good start point for EFI conversions. Brief, but explanatory.

A great toolExcellent tool for anyone looking to get into tuning, or to learn the components of tuning. I recommend this to all the facebook keyboard warriors who reckon they know their stuff but are actually full of s#@t. I always source my claims too! Matt Cramer and Jerry Hoffmann know exactly what they're talking about and explain it in a simple form.

Extremely informative referenceIn the process of converting my Triumph TR-6 over to complete engine management. Already have ignition side planned with Ford EDIS and will hopefully (with the info in this book!) be able to integrate with the EFI side.

Great info even for non-newbiesI have bought this in the past and unfortunately misplaced it and had to simply get another copy. I am excitedly getting back into the tuning scene here in Idaho! Well written book with easy to understand principles.
