hahaha

What I would like is a list of parts and mods with explainations and what they do...

Like a plenum, what is that?

BOV, I know what it stands for, but where is it and whats its purpose?

Lots of other things, so just wondering if there is something I can print out and learn from :D

Thanks :D

Yeah I was the same Kylie, has taken me 3yrs to get from basically being a computer nerd, to being a car nerd :D

You could just do what I did and ask here, I am sure people in this section can answer in an understandable way.

Plenum - To my knowledge this is the part after the throttle body on the intake, it feeds the air into the motor.

Blow Off Valve - This is basically a spring loaded valve, that when put under a certain pressure, it opens. Air comes in through your air box, or pod, then through your AFM (Air Flow Meter) and then into the compressor side of your turbo. From there it gets compressed and sent through piping to your intercooler. Then it goes through piping to the throttle body. A BOV usually sits on the piping at some point in it, before the throttle body so that when the throttle body closes, the compressed air is release out through the BOV and escapes instead of flowing back through the piping and out your turbo.

Imagine a straw (intercooler piping), at one end your finger is over the end (throttle body) at the other end is in your mouth (turbo). Now you can blow through it, but when you cover the end with your finger, the pressure builds, well if you had a BOV on the straw it would release the pressure, simple eh :D

Fortunately the specs are still in numbers which you can understand - if you can convert PS to KW to HP. And Y to $.

As for the 'Glossary". Since I'm the moderator of it:

1. It was only meant to be a definition list of acronyms - not a comprehensive dictionary.

2. I am happy to post up new definitions if you see I have missed any.

3. There are better sites written up by smarter people with more time on their hands and prettier, moving pictures explaining engine dynamics - products of a misspent youth.

4. There's nothing wrong with asking the 'dumb' questions on this forum, someone will always reply with a constructive answer, devoid of patronising remarks - all part of being in the Stagea Family (now there is a thread that needs to be revived)

5. A friend and I are in the middle of compiling a CD from dozens (literally) of articles on modifying and tweaking your car, collected from a misspent youth and ten years of various performance magazines. - watch this space.

Thanks all, I would ask away but there are a mountain of questions, thought if there was something already out there, then I'd read that first.

I'm going to read all the DIY's and learn from there and have joined the yahoo group :D

      NC MX5

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
