Hi all, We are putting on an EFI tuning class and I’m posting this to get an interest check for attendance from a few car clubs in the GTA. The class will be held at PUR Automotive in Toronto. The instructor is Greg Banish, one of the most renowned tuners in the industry. His day job is engine calibration and mapping for OEMs. He also tunes aftermarket EFI systems as a hobby and for educational purposes. What makes this course unique is the fact that it makes use of a dyno as a teaching tool. Mr. Banish will tune a car live before students’ very eyes, using our brand new Dyno Dynamics twin-eddy current retarder dyno. This gives students the ability to see the effects caused by a change in tune in real time. As a BONUS, all participants in the course will be alotted their own time (2-3 hours) with the dyno at a later agreed-upon date. This is a rare opportunity for us in Ontario because most of these classes take place in the states, which means high costs of travel and accomodations are always associated. By us hosting this class in Toronto at our shop (PUR Auto), you are able to save huge on airfare and hotels. The class will take place some time in March and the cost will be somewhere in the $800 range. Remember that this includes personal dyno time in addition to having Greg teach about dynamometers as a teaching tool. The course will take place over two days, almost certainly on a weekend. Class size IS limited so if you are interested in this, don’t wait to sign up. **Seminar Content** - Vocabulary of calibration - Basic engine operation - Engine efficiency - C omparing engines using BMEP - Understanding engine load - Using load to determine engine needs - Input sensors and output controls - CRK, TPS, IAT, ECT, HEGO, MAP, and MAF sensors - Injector operation principles - PCM control strategies - Airflow modeling - Air/fuel ratio requirements for power and emissions - Spark requirements - Using the dynamometer as a tuning tool - Wideband O2 monitoring - Airflow corrections - Finding MBT, Knock - Actual calibration procedure - Part load mapping - Idle control - WOT tuning - Transient controls - Temperature compensation - Live demonstration using the latest software and datalogging For more information on Greg Banish, see [here](http://www.calibratedsuccess.com/Basic.htm). If you’re interested in taking advantage of this rare opportunity, add your name below. ---

Honestly, I’d be lying if I could tell you a date right now. But I will have one soon, hopefully by next week. tosh, the course is one full day (8 hours) on day 1, and a half day (4 hours or so) on day 2. of course, we will provide refreshments right now i just want to get a solid list of people who are interested and can commit to attending (if the date is right, obv) ---

I second Bra Ganzaaa’s question. quite interested in this. very doubtful on my admission due to financial and time problems. If there is any kind of a certificate I will be MUCH more interested. Let us know Mikey! ---

^ I would say not, and I read the first post again, saw this is supposed to be in March, I don’t think I’ll have funds for this by then, realistically speaking. However I hope it’s a raging success so that another course can be run. This is exactly the kind of course I’ve been looking for to suppliment my pre-apprenticeship. ---

There are no certificates from this course (other than perhaps a certificate of participation) that I know of. There is no “tuner licensing” or anything like that. Yes, it’s possible to become AEM certed and whatnot but I don’t think one introductory course over two days qualifies for that. I will find out definitely about a certificate of participation and relay that info back as soon as I get it. Also, please keep in mind that class size is absolutely limited to 16 people. Spots will be honoured on a first paid first served basis. thx! ---

interesting… i dont know anything about dynos, that Dyno Dynamics twin-eddy current retarder dyno is–\> is it a 2 wheel or 4 wheel dyno? and by “personal time with the dyno”, does that mean students can put their car on the dyno and try to tune their own cars? thx ---

Like I said, we are aiming for late March. hoggie, it’s a 2-wheel drive dyno. and yes, personal time with the dyno means participants will be alotted dyno time (at a later date) to tune their own cars or do test pulls or whatever.
