00:00 | Welcome to HPA's EFI road tuning course where I'm going to teach you the basics of road tuning any car in simple and easy to follow steps. |
00:09 | This course will show you that you can get great results without the need for an expensive dyno or a workshop. |
00:15 | All you need are a few basic tools and a place you can drive your car. |
00:20 | EFI tuning is not a difficult skill to master, and if you've already completed our EFI fundamentals online course you'll already have an understanding of the principles behind EFI, as well as what you're trying to achieve by adjusting the fuel and ignition tables. |
00:36 | The theory is only going to get you so far though, and at some point you're going to need to jump in and actually start tuning. |
00:43 | I know some people find the idea of tuning a real engine daunting and this course is designed to help bridge the gap between theory and practical experience, letting you get up to speed and tuning with confidence. |
00:56 | This course will follow the tuning process from start to finish so you can see how to approach a tuning job the same way a professional tuner does it. |
01:05 | For this course we'll be using a Link G4 Plus plug-in ECU for the Toyota Altezza. |
01:11 | The specifics of the ECU and the car aren't important though. |
01:16 | While every ECU has a specific way of achieving the end result, it's the process we're interested in, and this is what we'll focus on. |
01:25 | If you follow this course and master the process you can apply it successfully to any engine and any ECU. |
01:32 | This will let you tune with confidence, achieving a perfect tune quickly, and without overlooking any critical steps. |
