00:00 | - When faced with tuning a diesel engine for the first time, it can be a little daunting. |
00:03 | On the face of it, there's a lot of work to do and often with no clear direction as to how to approach the task. |
00:09 | In this section of the course I'm going to outline a basic process that can be applied to tuning any diesel engine. |
00:14 | Following this process we'll break the task down into smaller more manageable tasks that can each be completed relatively quickly and easily. |
00:22 | With this approach you'll be able to tune the engine from start to finish, ensuring that you achieve optimal results without overlooking any critical aspects. |
00:29 | This is the best way of ensuring a great result, with the perfect drivability and excellent reliability. |
00:34 | This five step process is a relatively generic approach that is applicable to most mainstream tuning jobs where the engine is stock or perhaps mildly modified with a free flowing intake and maybe a larger exhaust. |
00:45 | In my 15 years of tuning, this sort of task still makes up the majority of diesel vehicles most people will be tuning. |
00:52 | Of course if you're considering more serious modifications such as larger turbochargers, bigger fuel pumps and injectors or internal modifications to the engine, then there will be other tasks to incorporate within the six step process. |
01:03 | We will cover these when possible in the worked example section so you can understand exactly how to approach these more advanced tasks. |
