like whts f2 mean.. fe3 ,fede, feze kl and so on..


sorry about there being something about toyota.. but i lovee toyota.. hell i love jdm cars..

 

What are you wanting to know about VRIS, VICS, VTCS, etc? These terms are used all of the time for techs because we know what they mean in terms of what to look at. If you are in question of one or more then can define in best of ability at least for Mazda.

 

i know what the ones i listed are.. and what they do... im actully just looking for more... im making up a list of them.. and what they do... and im trying to understand Engine codes/names .. like i do with toyota

 

some codes mean nothing, for the most part, they are just the factory codes...ive done a write up on nissan and mitsu engines, but not mazda...

 

can i have the list for Nissan and Mits..

now im talking about things like
F2
FEZE
KL

did you look at the toyota link...
thats wht im talking about..



before dash..is just the block family



#2 - After the Dash:

* B - Dual standard carbs (only used on non-twin cam engines, obsolete code)
* C - Californian pollution control (also most of the world)
* D - Dual carbs but more powerful than -B
* E - Electronic Fuel Injection
* F - Twin Cam (economy). Narrow Agle, Around 22 degrees between the intake and exhaust valves.
* G - Twin Cam (sports/powerful) with multiple sidedraft carbs (unless EFI). Wide Angle, 45 degrees or more between the intake and exhaust valves.
* H - Unknown but never combined with -B or -C
* I - Single point fuel injection
* II - Unknown - possibly denotes L.A.S.R.E (Lightweight Advanced Super Response Engine)
* J - Unknown, possibly autochoke, possibly another anti-pollution control
* L - Transverse mounted engine (seems to be an obsolete code)
* LPG - LPG fuel
* M - Phillipines market (details unknown)
* P - LPG fuel
* R - Low compression for regular (not super or premium) fuel.
* S - Swirl intake ports (only a few made in mid '80s)
* S - Direct injection & swirl pot pistons (starting from '97/98)
* T - Turbocharged
* U - Japanese pollution control (introduction of "U"nleaded?), (Engine uses TTC-C, TTC-L or TTC-V).
* Z - Supercharged

 

so you figured it out, right?

 

Here are a few terms from Mazda :
EHPAS : Electro Hydraulic Power Assist Steering
OCV : Oil Control Valve ( for VVTA : Variable Valve Timing Actuator )
DPFE : Defferential Pressure Feedback Exhaust
PATS : Passive Anti Theft System
SAPV : Secondary Air Pulse Valve
WU-TWC : Warm Up Three Way Catalytic Converter
HO2S : Heated Oxygen Sensor
VFAD : Variable Fresh Air Duct
TPMS : Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Is this what you are looking for? Could not think of any other interesting ones off top of head.
