So . . . If I was anal retentive with an Engineering degree, I would understand there is a paper limit, and know when to shut up to try and learn how to interpret Bisonese.
LMAO! "IF" - uhh no sir, let there be no doubt that you are "Anal Retentive with an Engineering degree."
<<LOL!>> Be that as it may, I have often said that folks would pay to have access to a dictionary or glossary of terms, if you will, for this board! In that, it is a challenge at best to keep up. So, if you learn to speak Bison, then, you could probably make some money by just explaining the terms being tossed about! I mean, just in this thread alone there are hundreds (if not more) terms being thrown about that could use dissecting. Now this is somewhat tongue in cheek, however, to the average person (new to this board) this stuff is like Greek Mythology (ask me how I know)! What with terms like:
“Max flow, 54lbs/min, manifold pressures, drive pressure, wastegate swing valve, positive cylinder fill, locked converter, unlocked converter, degrees of crankshaft rotation, “HIGH” drive pressure, CR, pressure drop, converter slip, out of turbo, converter slip, exhaust pressures, pressure drop post turbo, boost spike, go up in turbine, pounds a minute of airflow, small exhaust wheels, minimum converter, slipping converter, stage 3 equipped turbos, swamp ass air, good air, better air, egt’s, inert gas left trapped in the clearance volume, richer than typical mixture, mass flow control, overspeed, heat power, thrust loading, BSFC, wastegate strategy, boost drop, slow spin,”
Its all no big deal, right???
Oh and being from South Louisiana, I know all about "Swamp Ass Air". However, I can't help but wonder what that could mean to those of you who don't have to; "cut the humidity with a knife, on a daily basis!" And sorry Bison, but, if you want to experience "Swamp Ass Air", then, visit New Orleans in late August / Early September!!!
