Turbo ancronyms and words
This list is for everyone who wants to install their own turbos but are still newbies like me and are stuck with all the acronyms and common names used with turbos. But since I don't know much about turbos yet, I'll start the list with the simpler ones
![]() Maybe this can even be a sticky once there's enough! FMU: Fuel Management Unit PSI: Pounds per Square Inch I/C: Intercooler AFC/S-AFC: APEXi S-AFC= Super Air Flow Converter APEXi V-AFC= VTEC Air Flow Convereter which is the same as SAFC but with VTEC controller. These are tuning devices. EF: ? SMI/SMIC: Side Mount Intercooler, just like the stock Eclipse intercooler DSM: Diamond Star Motor, usually refers to Mitsubishi engines. Look closely at the Mitsubishi logo. It looks like a diamond star. EGT: Exhaust Gas Temperature, which is measured immediately after the exahsut gas leaves the engine. Turbo cars usually reads it off the exhaust manifold. IHI: Dont know exactly what it means BUT it is a manufacturer of a turbo. Commonly found on Ford Probes and various Domestic and European cars. Flange: is just a connection spot on a piping system. An example is how your exhaust header is connected to your catalytic converter. The piece that connects the two is called a flange. Please add what flange will work/fit with what turbo. Down pipe: Pipe section that connects from turbo to exhaust system. Charge pipe: Pipe section from the turbo outlet to the throttle body. The intercooler is also considered "charged" section. SPFI/MPFI: Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection Shaft Play: Loose/wobbly turbo turbine Turbo models: Would really be helpful if everyone can fill in what turbo can handle how much boost, what rpm it starts to spool, when it gets to full boost, what size engine the turbo is optimal for, what make/model car a turbo is stock on. ie: T3/T4/CT26/TD04/etc. Big Thanks to thermalfi'd16 for the extra info. ![]() Boosted3g, please add what you can too ![]() |
