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

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
