 An aging starter book, but little more... February 11, 2003

First, this book is a bit out of date... 10 years old now. The author talks of many "current" technologies, but explanations and comparisons of the products are limited at best. There is a lot of emphasis on converting carburated engines to fuel injection, but only specific examples are given when it comes right down to it, leaving many people and possibilities out in the cold.For those wishing to derive their own fuel-injection systems, this may be a good starter book, but leaves the reader with more questions than answers. It looks at converting a large cross-section of cars and trucks in the case-studies section, but only gives a general overview of the processes, with no real technical data to back them up or explorations of other options, which would be very helpful.
 Are you lucky enough to have a system reviewed in this book? December 6, 2000

For the "Do-It-Yourself" custom engine builder, this book is of little use. Unless you own a car with one of the EFI systems discussed within it's pages, you are out of luck. There is no talk of tuned plenum/runner design, scratch-built custom applications, or carb conversions. Even the mention of forced induction is merely in passing as another option to explore, but is not expounded upon. In short, if you've got a 5.0 Ford or a Chevy TPI this book is for you. Other folks should keep on walking.

The synopsis given above doesn't lie. There's a lot of reference to carburetion for comparison, and often the tone of the book is toward converting a carbureted engine into a fuel-injected one, but the subject coverage is comprehensive. It covers a wide range of electronics: factory & aftermarket engine control computers, sensors, ignition systems, etc., along with the injector technology itself. Formulas for power output vs fuel consumption -> sizing injectors, etc. Excellent.
