Has Someone Written A Book...

[IMPORTD]

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

Thanks

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

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

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

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.

[mcnamg]

can files be distributed via yahoo groups?

[Ska]

Yes, but it is limited to 20MB

[mcnamg]

is that total or per file

is someone able to host them as torrents or send them to me and tell me how to host them

[Ska]

I can host......... if you are member of the Stagea Yahoo group you'll find other resources are available which I have hosted see sig for link

[IMPORTD]

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

Here is a HUGE list compiled by the R31 club:
