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

In the DIY Stickey there is a "GLOSSARY OF TERMS". COT (click on that) :O:D: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

actua;;y theres a couple of magazine that are so called the bible of stageas. Hyperrev mag the stagea edition.

Sorry people, you know I cant allow you to post up something that is copyrighted........

BUT I cant stop you from scanning it and creating a pdf file and distributing it yourselfs keeping it off SAu, NOT that I am condoning that, but just saying.............

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

    • Yeah this was also my suspicion, that pineapples exist to reinforce the OEM bushes because people CBF taking the subframe out to do it. Basically that pineapples and subframe lock collars perform the same intended task. The cup still bolts in under the bush/crush tube.. as to how it'll go I don't know. Two of the bushes at the back look mostly the right shape. The ones up front clearly have the impressions left by the pineapples. Time will tell whether this will work/make any difference. Ideally I would not want any lock collars or pineapples, I'd just want the bush to do the job of the bush. Time will tell if the car works correctly with only the poly bushes in the state they're in. Worth seeing, I think.  What panel work are you looking at? I'm shelving everything from the A pillar forward because it's shit/doesn't function and this was before I drove off at the track and then drove into somebody! A second hand Reo and brackets is $1000, which is just cray when Mr.Hammer turns this piece of metal in regular metal shape.. considering it needs to be drilled to be adapted to the GTR headlight brackets anyway... So I'm all for $0 instead of $2000 (new 34 GTR reo) for the same result lol.
    • I think he's already demonstrated that that's the way he's treating it post the paint jail release.
    • Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.
    • Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"
    • There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
