JSM Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Is there a acronym page somewhere? Can we start one? In all my reading I'm continually baffled and don't want to ask what something means. Maybe when I have a question I'll just post it on this same thread. Please add along if you've got others I'm sure there are. AFM = Air Flow Meter CDI = Capacitive Discharge Ignition COP = coil on plug CTS = Coolant Temprature Sensor EBC = Electronic Boost Control EDI(S) = Electronic Distributorless Ignition, add an "S" and it stands for System EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation FI = Fuel injection HO2S = Heated Oxygen Sensor HP = Horse Power IAC = Idle Air Control IAT = Intake Temp Sensor IC = Intercooler MAF = Mass Air Flow (meter/sensor) MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure More Rust than Mull = Huge Amount of Rust MS = Mega Squirt MSnS-E = MegasSquirt n Spark-Extra NA = Normally Aspirated O2S = Oxygen Sensor OHC = Over Head Cam PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation SBC = Small Block Chevy SBF = Small Block Ford TB = Throttle Body TPS =Throttle Postion sensor LCA = lower control arm UCA = upper control arm TC rod = tension compression rod or strut rod SFC = subframe connector L28E=Naturally Aspirated 2.8 Liter 6 Cylinder L series Found in 280Z L28ET=TurboCharged 2.8 Liter 6 Cylinder L series Found in 280ZX L28et=FI (forced induction in this case, not fuel injected-that one can get confusing really quickly-the t on that motor is for turbo) E=EFI Motor Used on the end of Motor type (Eg l28E) L26E=Naturally Aspirated 2.6 Liter 6 Cylinder L series Found in 260Z L26=Naturally Aspirated 2.6 Liter 6 Cylinder L series Found in 260Z L24=Naturally Aspirated 2.4 Liter 6 Cylinder L series Found in 240Z VG30et=Z31 (chassis code for early 300zx) single cam turbo engine among others in the non-us market VG30dett=Z32 (chassis code for late 300zx) twin cam/twin turbo and possibly other models in non-us market Rb20/5/6det/tt= these engines came from various skyline models as well as some others, generally nissan nomenclature works like this: the number is the liters (i.e. L28=2.8 liters) the e is overhead cam, de is dual overhead cam, and the number of t's indicates the number of turbos, but not always, as in the case of the Fj20e which is a twin cam that doesn't have the d in it. 2jzgte=supra twin turbo engine from the mark IV supra and possibly some others in the non-us market 1jzgte=single turbo variant of 2jzgte available in some non-us toyota models 7mgte=mark III supra single turbo engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z_cars_rule Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 the 'e' in the engine code does not stand for over head cam. it stands for electronic fuel injection. OHC = over head cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 So are the L26e's mentioned above equipped with fuel injection, or twin su's like other 260z's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 well 260s were produced until 78 If I remember correctly... Mostly for the Aussies and the UK. I don't know if they had FI though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd always heard the 260 was only made for one year...I'd believe that the e is for fuel injection, I'm just curious now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
