Engine Phases / Tuning Phases
1. Start
2. Warm Up
3. Idle
4. Acceleration
5. Cruising
6. Deceleration
7. Wide Open Throttle (also known as the pre speeding ticket phase) lol
just wanted to post this as a sort of Road Map to get us thinking about all the phases the engine goes through from START to WOT
when we tune we can use this as a guide for which area we are concentrating on, I hope you find it helpful / meaningful
they are sort of to scale in terms of duration, ie Start only takes 1 or 2 seconds, Warm up can take minutes, where as Cuise can take hours, you get the idea (Accelerate & Decelerate are only that wide so the words could fit, ha ha)
