  • Tuning Books

    Can anyone recommend any good books, websites etc. that cover the fundamentals of engine management tuning?

    I am looking for a good guide to tuning, something that covers the basics initially, and then goes deeper into the subject.

    I can build and fabricate etc. but I have a lot to learn about this subject.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    you should be banned from reading those type of books. look what happened the last time you read one of those books and you ended up creating a powerfull vacume cleaner

        I have seen DV's stuff, but has he written anything about engine management mapping/tuning?

              I've got that book - its good for basics, but doesn't teach you anything you can't pick up from reading PPC every month.

                              this one is aimed at diesels but gives a really good insight.
