ACRONYMS PAGE>??
 

I was wondering if it possible to get an acronyms page put up... i have noticed alot of new joiners and old members struggling with the lingo i.e. BTM, AFC, VTEC etc...
even simple stuff like ECU, i know some people will be like hey ECU thats an easy one but we all had to learn it sometime... any suggestions? comments?

Re:ACRONYMS PAGE>??
 

those are their real names on the market though, it's not like it's hmt(home made turbo) slang??????? if you don't know what vtec, ecu, etc. are then i don't think you'll be boosting your car any time soon, just my 2 cents

Re:ACRONYMS PAGE>??
 

i still don't know what vtec stands for and i'm gonna be boosting.... not like I need to anyways, i have a toyota ;D

This thread would be a lot cooler if there weren't so many douch bag responses. I too wonder about aconyms. Not VTEC or ECU, but others. I'm not an idiot, just uninformed. Can't learn if were are all deprived. 2 cents .... bah ....

Re:ACRONYMS PAGE>??
 

Ok, I'm gonna let a few rip for all yall newbies.

VTEC - Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System
IVTEC - Intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System
MSD - Multiple Spark Discharge
HMT - Home Made Turbo (duh)
TPS - Throttle Position Sensor
CKP - Crankshaft Postion Sensor
CMP - Camshaft Position Sensor
O2 - Oxygen (as in O2 sensor)
DIS - Direct Ignition System
TCS - Traction Control System
ABS - Antilock Braking System
BTC - Boost Timing Master
S-AFC - Super Air Flow Control (A'pexi)
V-AFC - VTEC Air Flow Control (A'pexi)
TDC - Top Dead Center
BDC - Bottom Dead Center
BTCD - Before TDC
ATDC - After TDC
PWM - Pulse Width Modulation
FI - Forced Induction or Fuel Injection
TCC - Torque Converter Control Solenoid (You don't need to know this one)
OBD - On Board Diagnostic
VVTi - Variable Valve Timing - intelligent
VVT - Variable Valve Timing

And since I feel like I've made a positive contribution, here's my immature additions

FYM - ---- Yall ----------ers
ASMD - And Suck My Dick :-)

Re:ACRONYMS PAGE>??
 

Thanks civicunrest, I know I have learned a few new things. Honestly. In fact I believe I will list them: *ahem* 1.) Leave the letters 'FYM' on bathroom stalls and stairwells for a good time; 2.) We will not have to know what a torque converter control solenoid is; 3.) And finally, the easiest way to a monkey's heart is through his palm. *bows* And on that note, I exit ..... *exits*
