EFI Tuning Fundamentals teaches you the core principles behind 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, as well as how interpolation works in the fuel and ignition tables, and how to correctly configure your tables for maximum accuracy without making more work for yourself.

With the knowledge from this tuning course, you'll understand how fuel and ignition calibration actually works, including on engines you're tuning for the first time. Where many tuners rely on trial and error, this course gives you the reasoning behind every adjustment, so you can tune faster, more accurately, and without 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 piston engine. So regardless of whether you’re reflashing the factory ECU/PCM on a naturally aspirated LS, 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 the essential foundational knowledge you need to know.

This course is theory-based, with practical dyno examples used to reinforce the concepts taught. Depending on where you're at, it may be all you need, or it may be the perfect foundation that makes everything else click when you start applying the knowledge to your own tuning project. The principles taught here are what separate tuners who genuinely understand what they're doing from those who just copy and paste.

By purchasing this course, it’s yours for life — you can watch it as many times as you like and you’ll also have access to the members-only forum, which is the perfect place to get fast and reliable answers to your tuning questions.

We also want you to be able to purchase with complete confidence, and that's why we offer a 60-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you decide it's not right for you for any reason, simply let us know and we'll give you a complete refund.

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
