EFI Tuning Fundamentals teaches you the core principles behind the engine operation, as well as the operation of the ECU. You’ll learn how the engine produces power, why it requires a specific amount of fuel, and how to decide what the optimal ignition timing is using the dyno. You’ll also learn how compensation tables work in the ECU and how to configure them correctly. You’ll learn how interpolation works in the fuel and ignition tables and learn how to correctly configure your tables for maximum accuracy without making more work for yourself.

This course will let you tune with confidence - With the knowledge from this course, you’ll be able to correctly calibrate the fuel and ignition timing even on engines that you’re tuning for the first time. You’ll be able to tune faster and more accurately while ensuring you retain engine reliability. While many tuners rely on the trial and error method of making adjustments, this course teaches you techniques that allow you to quickly and confidently dial in your tune without any guesswork.

EFI Tuning Fundamentals isn’t specific to any particular engine or any tuning software. Instead, it focuses on the fundamental principles that are applicable to any 4 stroke, gasoline engine. So regardless whether you’re reflashing the factory PCM on a naturally aspirated LS3, or you’re tuning a Honda K20 fitted with a turbo and a standalone engine management system, or any other combination for that matter - This course contains essential knowledge you need to know.

This course is theory-based, and while several examples are demonstrated on the dyno to help reinforce the concepts being taught, it won’t teach you how to perform your tuning on the dyno or the road. We offer this knowledge in our practical tuning courses, and they are the perfect accompaniment to this EFI Tuning Fundamentals course when you’re ready to start making your first tuning changes.

I've taken courses offered other tuner schools and read a lot of books on the subject. I've also spent hours on forums searching for information. However I LEARNT MORE with the EFI Tuning Fundamentals course and related webinars in just a few hours than I did in a full year through my other sources. I would recommend HPA courses to all car enthusiasts. Tommy Glowinski, Tutomo LLC, United States of America

One area I have always struggled with is the “black art” of engine tuning. I stumbled across HPA quite by accident, took a gamble and signed up for my first course which I found clear, concise, and very easy for an amateur to understand. The layout is professional and is broken into manageable sections containing all of the information, tips and tricks which dispels the myths behind tuning EFI engines. Tim Wilhelmson, Amateur Tuner, New Zealand

I've thoroughly enjoy both course I have purchased (EFI Tuning Fundamentals & Road Tuning). I really respect the High Performance Academy, not only have they made the knowledge easy and convenient to access but it is also very affordable making it an extremely valued investment as a professional within the industry. I can't say "thank you" enough as I have really seen an immediate benefit from the information I've gained. Damien King, Tuner, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

I have personally enjoyed the online training and it’s really great value for the amount of money paid! I can’t recommend HPA highly enough. I mostly tune Japanese engines using Link, Vi-PEC, MoTeC M1, Haltech in Mauritius, Madagascar and Zambia. You will never be disappointed with the content of this online training. HPA take the mystery and ‘black magic’ out of EFI tuning and make it easy for anyone to understand. Niven Chetty, Tuner, Mauritius Island

HPA have created a pretty special platform to share knowledge and they don't hold back when you have ANY questions. I don't get to tune vehicles on a day-to-day basis yet, but I really like that I can go back to any part of the class, at any time and watch it as many times as it takes to make sure I've really got a handle of it. Tom D'Agostino, Enthusiast , United States of America

I started getting interested in cars just over a year ago, and my thirst for knowledge has grown ever since. When I purchased these courses, oil changes and filling the tank were the extent of my knowledge. Now after a couple months of taking these courses I can imagine an engine and most of its workings in my head. The courses are incredibly informative without being overwhelming and the video format is effectively engaging. Aidan Wilson, Car Enthusiast, Canada

I wanted to get into engine tuning really badly. I had no idea where to start, I went to Google typed in "tuning classes" and HP Academy came up as one of the first links. After the first free lesson, I was hooked. I immediately saw Andre knew what he was talking and that HP Academy would be able to help me achieve my dream of becoming a professional tuner. Thank you for making me realize that it's just a science that I can learn. Jamison Sanchez , Technician, Illinois, USA

What tools do I need to start tuning with?

The best tool to start with is this course! You need to walk before you can run, and the more you learn here the better you will understand the equipment you need for your application, and we even discuss it in the course for you too. This is not a 'secret' we're hiding, but rather us trying to make sure you buy the right tool the first time, and that comes from learning what you need first!

Will this also help me learn how to tune my carburettor?

No, EFI systems follow the same fundamental rules when it comes to tuning, but the way you make the changes using EFI and the fine control you have is very different to carb tuning to the point if you are tuning a car, you are unlikely to get much value from this course material.
