Maybe this should be a stickey?

Cruising the forum posts I often see various acronyms that some people are not familiar with. So if someone could put together a list of definitions it would be very helpful for many C5 members new and seasoned. Not like WTF (Why Transmission Failed) or LOL (Love Our Lingenfelter)

but see the following:

BAP
MAF
MAP
FI
NA
LS3
L99
LS1
LSA
LS7
LS9
VVT
CIA
OEM

Please define and continue to add more...

NA is actually Naturally Aspirated, no forced induction.

I see lotsa people asking about: WOT - Wide open throttle

Black5thgen · 12-12-2011, 09:21 AM

BAP= Boost a pump. Axillary fuel pump that is engaged under wide open throttle on forced induction engines to provide more fuel when more air is introduced in to the combustion chamber.

MAP= Manifold absolute pressure. It is a form of tuning done to replace the MAF sensor as the primary air metering device. Commonly used in boost applications where a MAF can't keep up.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential
IAT = Intake Air Temperature
NVH = Noise, Vibration, Harshness

BCM = Body Control Module
TCM = Trans Control Module
KR = Knock Retard (in reference to timing)
AFR = Air Fuel Ratio
ECT = Engine Coolant Temp
EGT = Exhaust Gas Temp
ABS = Antilock Braking System
TPS = Throttle Position Sensor
OHC/DOHC = Overhead Cam/Dual Overhead Cam
OHV = Overhead Valve (pushrod engine)
