Thumbs up How to Tune and Modify Your FI S2000

I was talking to several fellow FI S2000 oweners latley and I shared some resources I have used in the past to help me understand both hardware and software tuning. With the lack of tuners in the Midwest that are intersted in imports I had to learn how to do some things myself. Over the last few years I continue to visit the following resources for information. So I will offer up just a few of my resources in hopes that you also share yours.

Here is a very simple and consise book on turbo's that helped me understand some of the things we typliclly take for granted or are overlooked.
http://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Boost-Turboc...6228472&sr=1-3#


The following was the first book I read that really demystified ECM tuning. Obviously there is a lot more to learn other than what is here but it is very informative. Greg Banish is an accomplished engineer and really one of the greatest tuners out there, he has a better handle on tuning than 99% of the people out there.

After you finish that book you may want to read the AEM manual, I have attached a small amount of the manual on generic EFI, if you wan to download more see the below link.

Then when you finish that check out the Mega Squirt FAQ page

Last but not least all the members that take time to post infromation like Mark(MugenRioS2k), Tony (T1R), Church, Asura, Evans, Ya (Inline Pro), TrboKev, SlowS2k............

The Corky Bell (Max Boost) books are really good. I have the SC one and read the TC one from the library.

I have the EMS book coming.

This one is pretty good also:

Seems a little dated, but provides a lot of information and history.

I ordered the other tuning book, it did not look that good on the cover so I did not buy it in the past but I am sure I will get some thing out of it.

Don't forget this:

There would be half as many posts in this forum if everyone took the time to thoroughly look through the tutorials and optimization sections

I prefer this book over Corky Bell's; I have both and I find Warner's book much more up to date.
