This book would have been absolutely invaluable when I was piecing together my Megasquirt setup for my BBC 454. Even though I have it all functioning now, it has still been useful in understanding more of the principles that are going on under the hood so that I can better understand what effects my changes are having. Definitely a rich source of information for the EFI hobbyist. A MUST-HAVE if you are going to build a Megasquirt from the ground-up for an engine.

After taking a class on EFI, and thoroughly reading Greg Banish's books, I was still wanting more detail on how to go about tuning - where to start, what to do next...This is exactly what the second half of this book is about. Where the other books cover theory and sensors in great detail, this book is more about the systematic process of tuning your car, especially if it is a MAP-based system. I highly recommend purchasing this book with Greg Banish's books. They are very complimentary.

I've read many EFI books in my time and each seems to have their own little gem to contribute. But I've had to read tons of books to get any reasonable knowledge out of it. This is the first book to hover over general topics but give you specific guidance.

For instance, the wiring section generally goes over each type of wiring connection but gives you specifics on what is good and not good. EG wiring nuts are for house use but will "Walk" off in automotive applications. Also, the quickly give you amp ratings for wire gauges. It makes it very easy to size your wiring accordingly.

At only 150ish pages this book is quite short. But for the price you get things like throttle body sizing and fuel pump sizing formulas conveniently back. I'm still not done with the book but this is already one of the ones I will be keeping on hand for any quick EFI related information.

In the last 25years, I have pulled off some noteworthy engine and vehicle builds, including a Megasquirt II-Extra managed Eaton-supercharged Suzuki G16, and lately a MS3x turbo'd B16A1. Yes, all that knowledge of Holleys and Rochesters and Webers (oh my!) has been buried in dust and cobwebs since I discovered how to micromanage EFI. Cramer & Hoffmann (some of the most respected minds in the Megasquirt community) have shown me once again that there is more to learn - and more to be understood - on the topic. This book covers all types of systems, and to my surprise, they left very little room to discuss Megasquirt. Other standalone and OEM designs are used as examples instead, with deference and without bias, to educate the reader. Clearly written and full of useful illustration, this is the best book on the topic I've got- and I have a 6' bookshelf of automotive literature. Thank you guys for continuing my education!

A good introduction to EFI systems and aftermarket retrofits. You probably won't learn anything you can't already learn by reading various Megasquirt pages, but it's nice to have it all packaged in one place. The one thing that I wish was more fleshed out was the tuning examples, they are mostly focused on hardware now but it would have been interesting to go through the final tunes and point out similarities and differences between the different motors. It's also 100% focused on automotive systems, which probably is where 99.9% of their customers (and the authors' experience) are, but I would have appreciated an overview of the challenges that are specific to motorcycle, marine, and aviation applications.

This book along with the Greg banish books on the same subject will cover all your needs. The guys from diyautotune.com have hit another home run. The book covers everything you need to know and answers some odd questions that you dont feel you need to know until you actually find out that you need to know. Great job guys.

This is an excellent primer on electronic fuel injection systems, their construction and operation. It covers a lot of the various aftermarket options' high and low points without being overly critical or gushing about any of them. If you are looking for a lot of specific information on tuning, this is not your book nor is it if you're expecting a lot of MegaSquirt information since Mr. Cramer is part of DIYAutoTune. This is more of an overall view, almost a textbook, and it's an excellent one. It will not teach you to tune your specific car, other than to explain the best way: pay for the dyno time and work it 'til it rocks. If you really want specific information about your system and/or combination in particular, join an online forum and start reading there.

Ok -
1) So pick your favorite car magazine.
2) Now try to remember the best 'tech' article that you ever read in that magazine.

If you're like me, you found that 'tech' article fascinating and informative; maybe you couldn't put it down until you finished it, and then you ran to the garage to try out what you learned.

This book is like that - except it's a WHOLE BOOK instead of just some little snippet!

I got the book in the mail the day before I went on a short vacation to the beach. I plopped onto the sand, and read every single page - cover to cover. My wife thought I was nuts to be reading a fuel injection manual instead of frolicking in the surf. The book is THAT good.

It really spells out how all the sensors 'talk' to each other, how to map out what your EFI system should look like for your particular application, what components you can borrow from existing cars, and several other nice tips.

If you know nothing about DIY EFI, this will give you a great overview. If you know think you know everything about DIY EFI, this book might teach you something.

It is NOT a step-by-step instruction manual - but it will provide excellent guidance and clarity to you as you build your system. Most of the info you would need to build your own EFI system is online somewhere, but it can be tough to understand the jargon and the measurements. This book helps keep you on course as you learn.

Well written, well worth the money - even if you never build your own system, it'll help you understand how your car works. It may even help you make a basic repair the next time your factory system breaks down.

Love it.
