Define some acronyms for a noob ;)
Ok, I figured out:
FSB : Front Strut Bar
RSB : Rear Strut Bar
HID: the nice lights available from 5th gen on
N/A : naturally aspirated = no NOS/turbo/super
MAF: mass air flow sensor
ECU: engine control unit
what do the following mean:
AE: ?
MEVI:?
feel free to add to this list.. maybe we could make it a sticky if it gets good enough.

the exaust manifold isn't in the picture, but is that plus the y pipe together..
AC= Air Conditioner
AWD= All Wheel Drive
MPG= Miles per gallon
MPH= Miles per hour
RWD= Rear Wheel Drive
WOT= Wide open throttle
ABS= Anti-lock braking system
A/F= Air fuel ratio
ATC= Automatic temp. control
DOHC= Dual overhead cam

MPG= Miles per gallon
MPH= Miles per hour
RWD= Rear Wheel Drive
WOT= Wide open throttle
ABS= Anti-lock braking system
A/F= Air fuel ratio
ATC= Automatic temp. control
DOHC= Dual overhead cam
those are all acronyms....wouldn't an abbreviation be like temp for temperature??

An acronym would be something like this:
NISSAN= Nasty Import Sucks Savings Away to Nippon

TB= Throttle body
IACV = idle air control valve
PCV = positive crankcase vent (or valve)
CAT = catolitic converter ( I know I spelled that wrong)
SE = Sport Edition
CEL = check engine light
ABS = antilock brake system
HID = High intensity discharge
PSI= pound per square inch
SAFC = super air fuel controller
VVT - variable valve timing
VVT-i = variable valve timing (inteligent . . . damn toyotas)

Thanks 2 MaXiMuS 4
I don't find anything wrong with this thread...how are you suppossed to find out what some of these acronyms stand for unless you ask? Especially if you're not mechanically knowledgeable (like me). I think it would be a good idea to have a sticky with the meanings of all the acronyms...or add it to the FAQ's. If you think this is a dumb thread then there's no point posting in it.

was in the supercharged forums earlier...what does FI stand for?
also...noob question: what does OG stand for?
BTW, that FAQ is insufficient, I think a complete list of acronyms for new members is a great idea
