Chevy Tpi Fuel Injection Swapper's Guide: How to Interchange & Modify Tuned Port Injection Systems (S-a Design)

Rating:
Summary: This book is a waste of money for TPI swapping
Review: If you are looking for guidance on swapping a TPI system this isn't the book for you. It is only a very general overview of the GM TPI systems. It looks like the author trolled through the available GM literature and picked up bits here and there. Most of the information is readily available on the Internet. There is no index, so finding specific topics is difficult. Half the book is devoted to the standard error codes.

Summary: Lots of info but nothing on swapping engines
Review: If you want to swap a EFI engine into an vehicle that never had it you will need to understand how fuel injection works. This book will help you understand it in pretty good detail. However, it does not help you understand what to expect when swapping an engine. I think maybe his title "swappers guide" refers to the sections on swapping parts on a fuel injected engine for better performance. I know I need to buy a different book to find what I was looking for.

Summary: The title should be 'Understanding Fuel Injection'
Review: This book has very little to do with swapping TPI systems.It is mostly a primer on TPI fuel injection. It totally misses the boat on all the problems of installation and modifications required to swap or add TPI injection to a non TPI engine.For instance There are no reviews or advice on different wiring methods. Nothing much on after market fuel pumps, nothing on cable mods.,nothing on air conditioning compressor/alternator relocation brackets,nothing on converting a mass air flow system to a speed density system. If you are a street rodder or a hot rodder this book will offer you little to nothing in your quest to add TPI to your car.Don't waste your hard earned dollars here.

Summary: Some what helpful
Review: This book is good for someone that has no idea of what they are doing. It gives a good list of part numbers and a description of how the system works and then waste the majority of the book on trouble shooting guides that look exactly like the ones in a regular repair manual. I does not give you any of the information one might be looking for when doing a SWAP.

Summary: A must have for anyone planning TPI mods.
Review: This is one of the best TPI books I have read. I wish I had it before I started my mods, but I can still use it as a guide for my new motor. This book contains great insight to how the whole TPI system works as well as hints as to what the best items are for different levels of modifications. Don't touch your TPI motor without reading this book first!
