This is in response to Rstang's request for info for the ladies WHAT DO THOSE LETTERS MEAN WHAT DO THOSE LETTERS MEAN (R+M)/2 = Average of Research Octane and Motor Octane and is the AKI of gasoline. 5r55 = the stock S197 transmission 60' = sixty foot time on your ET time slip 1/4 or 1320' = the quarter mile drag strip 1/8 = the eighth mile drag strip A/B or AB = Axle Back (in reference to the s197 rear muffler location) A/C COMP = air conditioner compressor A/C = air conditioner A/O = Air/Oil Separator A4 = 4 Speed Automatic Transmission A5 = 5 Speed Automatic Transmission ABS = Antilock Brake System AFR or A/F = Air Fuel Ratio AKI = Antiknock Index what the yellow sticker on the gas pump means. ALT = alternator AOD = Automatic Overdrive Transmission AT = automation Transmission ATF = automatic Transmission fluid = be sure to use the correct one! BAP == Boost-A-Pump BAT = battery BOOST = the psi level of forced induction BOLT-ON = Add-on or modification that is designed so that the car owner can usually do the install without special tools BOV = Blow-off valve BRAKE == (1) a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction (2) anything that has a slowing or stopping effect. CAI = Cold Air Intake CARB == California Air Resources Board CAT = catalytic converter CEL = Check Engine Light Centri = Centrifugal-type supercharger CMCV DP or CMCP = Charge Motion Control Valve Delete Plates CO = carbon monoxide COMP = compression COPs = Coil on Plugs (referring to the ignition system) CPS = crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor CROSSOVER PIPE = Any type of mid-pipe which connects dual exhaust pipes starting from the cats CTS = coolant temperature sensor CYL = cylinder CI or CU = cubic inch DD = Daily Driver (if the conversation is about your car), Deep Dish (if the conversation is about wheels (or pizza)) DIY = Do It Yourself DOHC = Dual Overhead Cam DRs = Drag Radials DRONE = A low frequency sound that occurs at a specific RPM (usually 1800 to 2200) while the engine is under load DS = Driveshaft DSL = Driveshaft Safety Loop DTC = diagnostic trouble code ECU = electronic control unit EFI = electronic fuel injection EGR = exhaust gas recirculation EGT = exhaust gas temperature eH2O = Electric Water Pump ET = Elapsed Time EWP = electric water pump EXH = exhaust F/I = Forced Induction or Forced Intake FI = Fuel Injection FOX BODY = A lightweight unibody architecture used on Mustangs built from 1979 to 1993 FPDM - Fuel pressure Driver module FRPP = Ford Racing Performance Parts FRPS == Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor FWHP/TQ = Flywheel Horsepower/Torque GND = ground also denoted as COM for common. GT = Gran Turismo HC = hydrocarbons HID = high intensity discharge H PIPE = A type of exhaust crossover pipe in the shape of an "H" HO = High Output IAT = Intake Air Temp sensor INT = intake IUP = Interior Upgrade Package JAFO == JUST ANOTHER FUCKING OBSERVER ( for a bench racer) KS = knock sensor LB = long block (fully-dressed engine) LCA = Lower Control Arm LED = light emitting diode LSD = Limited-Slip Differential LT's = Long Tube Headers LTFT == Long Term Fuel Trim M5 = 5 Speed Manual Transmission M6 = 6 Speed Manual Transmission MAF = Mass airflow sensor MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (used on speed density cars, not MAF cars) MET = Metric MIL = malfunction indicator light MPI = multiport fuel injection MSD = multiple spark discharge MT or STD = manual transmission N/A or NA = Naturally Asperated (or non-alcoholic) N20 = Nitrous oxide NOS = Nitrous Oxide Systems (A brand) NOx = nitrous oxides NVH = Noise Vibration Harshness O/D or OD = overdrive O/R = Off Road (No Cats) O2S or 02 sensor = oxygen sensor OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer OHC = overhead cam(s) OHV = overhead valves PCV = positive crankcase ventilation PHB = Panhard bar PLENUM = Another way to say intake PN = Part Number PS = power steering PTEC = powertrain electronic control PWR = power RAD = radiator Rib = Number of ribs (grooves) on accessory drive pullies. (Example 8 rib or 6 rib) RT = Reaction Time RWHP = Rear Wheel Horsepower RWTQ = Rear Wheel Torque S/C = Super Charger S197 = Chassis designation of the current production Ford Mustangs ('05+) SAE = Society of Automotive Engineering (standard sockets) SB = short block (referring to the engine without heads, intake, or exhaust) Shorties = Short length primaries on Tubular header SJB = Smart Junction Box SRS == Supplemential Restraint System STFT == Short Term Fuel Trim T/C TC = Tourqe Converter or TurboCharger or Traction Control TB = Throttle Body TCS = Traction Control System TEL = Tetraethyllead = old time Ethyl fluid used to raise octane of gasoline and also to protect soft exhaust valve seats on older cars. Extremely poisonous!!! Kills O2Ss and CATs on modern cars. For off road use only. TPS = Throttle Position Sensor TS = Twin Screw TT = Twin Turbochargers UCA = Upper Control Arm UDP = Under Drive Pulley VCT = Variable Cam Timing VERT = Convertible VI or VIS = viscosity index (motor oil) WAO = wide ass open (same as WOT in most cases.) WB = wide band WOT = Wide Open throttle WP = water pump |
