Introduction

| 00:00 | Tuning an engine using EFI can be broken down broadly into two separate operations Setting the ignition timing and setting the AFR or air fuel ratio. |
| 00:11 | Sure with modern engines there is a lot more peripheral stuff happening, such as cam control, boost control and e-throttle, but if we come back to the bare basics, we are left with fuel and ignition. |
| 00:23 | Setting the ignition advance in some ways is quite straightforward since we have the torque feedback from the dyno to tell us when the ignition timing is optimal. |
| 00:32 | The MBT tuning technique which we use for calibrating ignition timing is discussed in our EFI Fundamentals course. |
| 00:40 | Choosing the AFR to run an engine at is a little less clear cut since at most points in the load and RPM the engine will run adequately across a fairly wide range of AFR sometimes with little effect on torque and power. |
| 00:55 | Getting solid information on how and where to set the AFR has always been a problem, with most tuners not wanting to commit to providing a specific answer. |
| 01:05 | This has meant choosing a suitable AFR has traditionally been a grey area, which can be confusing and daunting, particularly when you are just starting out. |
| 01:14 | This course will remove any confusion, giving you the answers you need to safely tune an engine and produce good power, economy and reliability. More importantly it will give you a thorough understanding of what AFR means and how it will effect your engine and your tune. |
| 01:33 | This will give you the knowledge to make informed decisions on what AFR to use for your specific application. |
