5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding introduction, 4 Nov 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Engine Management: Optimising Carburettors, Fuel Injection and Ignition Systems (Haynes High-performance Tuning) (Hardcover)

This book is the best of it's type that I have read. Every point is backed up by a real world example, the book is full of detailed images, and best of all, is written by a man who clearly has a huge amount of technical experience behind him. The book does however assume you have a clear understanding of how an engine works. Worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good introduction, 20 Sep 2006

Cosworth Chris (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Engine Management: Optimising Carburettors, Fuel Injection and Ignition Systems (Haynes High-performance Tuning) (Hardcover)

This guy really does know what he is on about, although he sometimes seems a bit biased and gives information that seems based on his own opinions. Saying that I have to say on the whole the book is packed with useful information which really taught me a thing or two. Recommended, even has a copy of the Emerald software in the back cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to tuning modern performance engines, 1 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Engine Management: Optimising Carburettors, Fuel Injection and Ignition Systems (Haynes High-performance Tuning) (Hardcover)

This book forms an excellent introduction to the science of tuning modern performance engines. It is quite general in context - applicable to many different makes of engine - so doesn't provide specific solutions for any particular engine or problem. It is essentially a practical guide, so doesn't introduce a lot of theory or technical content, although the software provides an interesting exercise in setting up an EMS.
