I always wondered the same thing, the first thing that came to my mind was "Hate 2 Hate??" and I sat there thinking about it until I got a headache.... :mad: and gave up

[TurboJoe]

This thread has been very helpful thanks kirk. I just have one question what is isc? as in isc valve or isc system. It's mentioned in the tsrm.

[animantoric]

ISC - idles speed control

I'd like to amend kirk's defs (no offense meant)

EGR - exhaust gas recirculation

and of course ATDC - after TDC

This one may raise some ire but I didn't make it up:

Please, I know it's bad...:D :D

[Josh Sulsberger]

PROFEC
Pressure Offensive Controller

[conundrum07]

VTAC

Variable Turbo Acceleration Control

[MKIIINA]

what about some of the stuff im seeing at the bottom of ppls sigs...

(B/A/A/A/B) for example whats that mean?!

[mk3smakemehappy]

wut does fd and dd mean?

[Nucleon]

Someone should explain the M.A.S.H. thing here, or is it anywhere else?

[Disced]

Fd is the code for rx-7 twin turbo models. The FC is the NA model of the rx-7.

DD = Daily Driver(your pos car you drive while your Supra is down)
MASH = Men Against Sneaky Hoes. There are quite a few members.. Me not being one of them =)

[Troux]

How about FJO?

[AGlobalThreat]

Fd is the code for rx-7 twin turbo models. The FC is the NA model of the rx-7.

Horribly wrong

FD is the 3rd Gen 93-2002
FC is the 2nd Gen 86-92
FB is the 1st gen 79-85

[Troux]

Bingo
FJO = Fred J. Oberbuchner , founder of a company (FJO Inc.) that makes automotive electronics.

[Shred]

N/A= naturally aspirated, so there is no n/a-t. If it is turbocharged, it is no longer naturally aspirated. Turbocharged 7MGE will do until it is acronymed.

[Forcedtorque]

OK.......I have been wanting to see this for a long time. I knew most, but some were helpful. I thought I did good for a guy who is turnig 40 in a few days :rolleyes: (OH SHIT.........I don't look it, will never act it, you can't make me)

BUT can anyone tell me where to find the post that explains what all of the upgarde stuff does NOT just what the words are.


WTF = What The Fuck

in a sentence.............WTF do all these ABC's mean?

[OneJoeZee]

BUTFM
Blew up the fuckin motor
GBA
good boostin air

[a_zepeda9236]

[justforkiks]

[OneJoeZee]

bpu= exhaust, downpipe, bcc, boost controller. anything else is +

[Imagination]

BVSV: Bimetal Vacuum Switching Valve

[Snaps]

Can't add anything here but I think this thread needs to be moved, either to newbie forum or somewhere like that, I never thought of looking in the Mk 3 forums for acronym meanings

[mkiii 4 life]

tia imo that answered a couple of my newb questions.

[Snaps]

just came back to this thread after a while wondering what the actual words of these mean:

JDM/JDSM?
USDM
OEM

I know what everyone is talking about when they say these, I'm just wondering what they actually stand for?

[The Captain Was Here]

JDM= Japanese Domestic Market
USDM= US Domestic Market
OEM= not 100% sure but it has to do with original parts. Example: OEM rims are the rims that came with the car fron the dealer.

[Snaps]

yea, I was thinking it could be something like Original Engine Manufacturer or Original Equipment Maker/Manufacturer ?

[deck]

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer

[wchico15]

wat about "56k"

[The Captain Was Here]

wat about "56k"

Its another way of saying dial up internet.
