88BlueTSiquest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 BPV = By-pass valve, like a BOV, but the BOV vents to atmosphere, the BPV vents back into the intake tubing just before the turbo and after the MAS. MAS/MAF = Mass Airflow Sensor, or Mass Air Flow. 1G(as used here) = First Generation, some state it refers to DSM(see next entry) cars as a whole, I state it stands for the 1st Generation of the Eclipse/Talon/Laser cars. Generally when a car is stated as 1G, it's the first ever body style/design of a specific car that lives long enough to be retooled over and over again, Such as the Corvette, Eclipse, RX7, Camaro, etc. etc. There is no Generation designation for the S/Q as it's only design was just cosmetically changed over the years, no major body/chassis change was ever implemented to create a 2G S/Q, thus necessitating the need to call the originals 1G. DSM = Diamond Star Motors, a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi that produced cars such as the Eclipse/Laser/Talon, Stealth/3000GT etc. etc. To add to that, 1G BOV, would simply be the "BPV" off of a 1G Eclipse/Talon/Laser TURBO, as the 1G BOV as everyone states it, was actually designed to recirculate the air, and not "Blow it off". 1G MAS, is the Mass Airflow Sensor from the 1G Eclipse/Talon/Laser TURBO's. This always refers to the Turbo versions, as the NA versions are useless to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAP: Manifold Absloute Pressure (sensor),More later...Stoich: Short for Stoichiometric, which in our case refers to A/F ratio. A Stoichiometric chemical reaction is one in which all the reactants are used up most efficiently. So, Stoichiometric A/F ratio is that ratio which is just right: around 14.7:1 by mass, but this varies with load and compression and other factors. If your engine is running stoich then it's being as efficient as possible. Stoich is what the ECU strives for in closed loop operation. Closed Loop Operation: When the ECU uses info from the O2 sensor to fine tune the A/F ratio. Open Loop Operation: When the ECU ignores the O2 sensor because it can't be trusted or isn't practical under certain conditions, such as engine warmup, hard acceleration, deceleration, ect.

artinist Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 BCFPR = any plain old freaking fuel pressure regulator. this is a term used and created by Ricers. there are 3 type of pressure regulators: 1. RRFPR (aka FMU) fuel management unit 2. adjustable fuel pressure regulator 3. non-adjustable (factory type) pressure regulator. 2 and 3 could technically be called boost compensating when used on a boosted car. whatever that means. as if one could use a can of yogurt instead. every freakin car has one yet stupid vendors try to toss in that term into the description of their crappy pressure regulator to make it seem like its something more.
