	Nitro Engine Tuning
		The engine will be a little softer when accelerating from a standstill, but it’s the only way to ensure there is an adequate supply of fuel and oil when running at the upper end of the rpm range.
		If the engine is able to idle steadily for a longer time, then it may start to lean out and heat up during a race and make it difficult to drive the car and keep the engine running.
		Engine tuning is not a fl art; it just takes time to learn the particulars so you can maximize your power plant's performance.

	Engine tuning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Engine tuning or engine building is the adjustment, modification or design of internal combustion engines to yield more performance, either in terms of power output or economy.
		Performance tuning focusses on the tuning of an engine for motor sport, although many cars built by hobbyists never compete but are rather built for display at motor shows or the simple pleasure of owning and driving such a car.
		Increasing the size of the valves in the engine, thus decreasing the restriction in the path of the fuel/air mixture entering, and the exhaust gases leaving the cylinder.

	Engine Tuning
		We have left the title as Engine Modification, hoping reader's are attracted by the title.
		The most important ingredient for power is good gas and the second most important ingredient is an ECU tuned to run the turbine's hot gas generator (your engine!) on this gas.
		This was explained by just how different the Japanese high power STI engine versions are and why they are different from the current US WRX engine in the Engine Commentary section.

	OFNA Racing - R/C Engine Tuning Guide
		You tune the engine by measuring the engine’s temperature, and making the required adjustments to make the temperature correct.
		If the idle speed is too low, the engine may stall on the starting line, or at the end of the straightaway when you let off the throttle.
		Over 99% of all engine complaints are usually related to the tuning of the engine or clutch.

	Hydra Nemesis 2 Plug and Play Tuning Instructions
		While engines in general differ in what high load AFR they require and make best torque at, the 3S generally will produce more torque under high load when the AFR is at least 11.5:1 or leaner but it does not tend to produce very much more torque when you go much leaner than 11.5:1.
		When it does so, let the engine steady itself again and move the center cell that you are adjusting to track it and continue the richening or leaning process until you reach your desired target with the engine idling at a steady point.
		The faster the engine is turning, the sooner the ignition process must start in order for peak cylinder pressures to happen at about 12-15 degrees after top dead center, which is when the piston is in the ideal location to translate pressure into torque.

		On small-block Chevy engines, or any engine that has the two center exhaust ports siamesed on the cylinder head, pumping coolant directly from the radiator to the area between the two exhaust ports will help minimize detonation.
		On nitrous engines especially, grinding the sharp edges on the piston tops to smooth radii is critical to keeping an engine in one piece.
		Even on non-nitrous engines, the tops of the pistons should be smoothed to avoid any problems from heat building up in the piston, causing it to fail.

	Daytona Sensors LLC - Tech FAQ Engine Tuning
		Whereas excessively high compression ratio is the most common engine building mistake, the most common engine builder misconception is that increasing the compression ratio has a significant effect on power (or torque).
		Engines with race camshafts exhibit large cyclical variations at idle - necessitating a relatively rich idle to prevent stalling.
		From a practical standpoint, engine power output is most readily increased by increasing the displacement volume and volumetric efficiency.

	Race Engine Jetting - Tuning a Race Engine :: Engine Tuning Resources & Tips.
		It’s more of a challenge to tune a carburetor to achieve a lean 14.7:1 air/fuel at part-throttle and still deliver excellent and immediate WOT power, but it can be done.
		The first thing we did was to adjust WOT tuning by swapping the stock CH secondary rods to thinner rods (eventually a pair of aluminum rods) until we had a WOT air/fuel that came in around 12.8:1.
		The engine responded with a slightly richer mixture in light acceleration of around 13.2:1, but we still had a slightly rich cruise air/fuel ratio.

	Engine Tuning
		I tune this engine according to the instructions provided by OS for the 60B carb as well as looking at heli for visible vibrations and the quantity of smoke.
		Now, we should notice the engine should be four-stroking less (it will still be four-stroking to some extent), we should also notice that the vibrations in the heli (canopy, fins, etc) will have lessened, but probably not vanished.
		Tuning this thing was a whole different mindset and if the truth were to be told, I don't think I've got it at it's full potential yet so I'll not comment any further on it.

	Engine Performance Tuning Tips
		If your engine is built, they will not necessarily give you more power but will allow your engine to reach it’s potential by eliminating the intake restriction of the stock air box.
		If your engine is really built with cams, headwork, compression, etc. and you are interested in getting every bit of power, you might consider it, but it would be a finishing touch type of modification.
		The engine felt more eager to rev and there was less drag when the AC compressor kicked on.

	RE: GMS Engine Tuning Problem
		Changed to a new Fox Miracle plug, reset mixture, another engine failure at 50' altitude on T/O. Changed to an old used Fox idlebar long plug, reset mixture, took off and the engine ran beautifully, equally well as with the OS F plug.
		I noticed that when removing the igniter current that there was a greater than normal rpm drop but the engine tuned up ok. I did many circuits and aerobatics during 4 flights and suffered no engine cuts.
		The engine top end power was down a few hundred rpm but all the other sins were forgiven due to the increased muffler pressure to the tank.

	Chip tuning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chip tuning refers to changing or modifying an EPROM chip in a car's or other vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve better performance, whether it be more power, cleaner emissions, better fuel economy, or better appearance.
		The ECU in a modern automobile, together with advanced engine technology, makes it possible to control many aspects of the engine's operation, such as spark timing and fuel injection.
		A common approach to ECU tuning used by tuners and gearheads who like to modify their cars involves adjusting the air-fuel mixture and spark timing maps for greater power, or to smooth out drops in power.

	Dyno-less engine tuning. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If you can’t get your bike-engined buggy tuned on a four-wheel dyno, and you’re not sure whether or not your engine’s running lean or rich or if it's a bit down on power, there is a little gizmo that can point the way.
		Re-jet and tune the carburettors for absolute power on track, then use the AFR gauge to evaluate the mixture as a target for re-tuning at different altitudes or weather conditions.
		When you’re done tuning, remove the sensor from its bung, and replace it with the plug.

	RC Engine Tuning Tips (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The first and foremost consideration when attempting to tune your glow engine is understanding the basic parts and their functions.
		The natural operation of the engines causes of flow of gases to pass through the engine (through the carburetor) and out the exhaust manifold and on to the pipe or muffler.
		Although it may be tempting to run your engine as lean as possible (does give a short-lived performance boost), this should only be done if you are very wealthy and like swapping engines out every race.
