The bare minimum you should know about tuning - Toyota Yaris Forums

fnkngrv · 12-30-2015, 12:51 PM

I thought that this could be useful to folks especially for those that are new to tuning and want to be able to do some work themselves. I will be sharing the links to HP Academy's 6 part free series that comes to people via email. They normally deliver a new video in the series every few days so this will be a compilation.

If people want to have a general discussion through the thread that is fine, but it is more of a way to get the very basic elemental understanding of what a tuner does.

Lesson 1 AFR

Lesson 2 Ignition Timing

Lesson 3 AFR Affects Power

Lesson 4 Advanced Functions

Lesson 5 Rotary Turbo

Lesson 6 The Next Step

Awesome! Thanks for the share!

Now if we do end up getting a tune on a dyno, we'll at least know what's going on, and not look all confused and disoriented.

Not a problem.

Like I said they have 6 installments so as they come to my email I will share since they are free.

I have done research and reviewers of HP Academy say that in order to get the full picture of their paid offerings you should also consume their free installments.

I am kicking around the notion of purchasing one of their programs. They aren't cheap, but with the amount of money I have put into my build it makes sense to be sure that I get the most out of my EMS and setup in general as well as the safety aspect.
