Do you want to learn how to tune engines like a pro?

The world of performance engine tuning can be confusing and daunting. We find many keen novice tuners or performance enthusiasts who would love to pursue a career in engine tuning, but don’t know where to start. If this sounds like you then read on!
 
STM’s EFI Tuning Stage 1 course runs for 1 day and focuses on engine tuning theory backed up with a practical dyno demonstration(video) of the concepts taught. The course begins with the basic operation of the 4-stroke engine, and then moves onto the fundamental components of a modern electronic fuel injection system. Each input and output in the EFI system will be discussed with an emphasis on a friendly atmosphere which encourages discussion and interaction between you and the tutor.
 
After covering the basics, the course moves on to the techniques used to actually tune the engine. These are the hard-learned lessons that have come from STM’s experience tuning literally thousands of engines over the last 11 years. We will show you the tricks of the trade which let us achieve a perfect tune without risking damage to your engine.
 
In particular we will concentrate on the following areas:
  • Initial setup checks before beginning tuning
  • The correct approach to tuning your engine from start to finish
  • How to correctly set your ignition timing to achieve maximum power
  • How to choose the correct air/fuel ratio for your engine
  • How to compensate for air and coolant temperatures
  • Knowing how to recognise a problem, and tips on fault-finding

Is this course right for me?

STM’s EFI Tuning Stage 1 course is an entry level course which is ideal for anyone with an interest in EFI tuning. The course assumes a basic knowledge of engine operation principles, however no prior experience with tuning is necessary. We promote an open and friendly environment with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. The course caters for anyone from a complete novice to an experienced tuner, so no question is too easy or too hard!
 
This course is ideally suited to DIY tuners, mechanics, anyone involved in motorsport, or anyone with an interest in EFI systems and professional engine tuning. Completion of this course will give a solid understanding of the principles of engine tuning, and provide the basic skills to start selecting and tuning your own EFI system.

 

What else do I get?

On completion of the course, each participant will receive the following:
 
  • A copy of STM’s ECU Tuning Stage 1 course notes.

    These notes are filled with invaluable tips and time saving tricks that we have learnt over 10 years of tuning engines. This is the perfect reference material for your own tuning projects.

  • Signed certificate of completion.

    This certificate confirms your attendance, and for anyone pursuing a career in the industry, it is a great addition to your CV.

  • Discounted dyno time on STM’s Dynapack dyno.
