<details><summary><u>Sequential</u></summary>
|
||||
|
||||
Often this refers to Sequential injection, which means the injectors fire individually for each cylinder and often at a specific crank angle.
|
||||
This can be handy for engines direct injection or to try to spray the injector into the cyl while the intake valve is open. If an engine can inject onto an open inlet valve it will reduce the amount of fuel wetting the port walls and help reduce low load emissions.
|
||||
Sequential is required for direct injection engines like common rail diesel.

|

<details><summary><u>SD</u></summary>
|
||||
|

||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
<details><summary><u>Staged injection</u></summary>
|
||||
|
||||
The use of 2 injectors for one cyl. This commonly means at low RPM and lower loads, one injector is turned on which allows for finer control over idle fuel delivery, while at higher RPM and higher Loads both injector inject fuel which allows for larger amounts of fuel to be delivered.

Phrases
|
||||
Twirling the Iron
|
||||
Wrenching on your vehicle, often used when changing a tire, but has been commonly used other times when you are doing heavy wrench work.
|
||||
|
||||
Green Brown Green
|
||||
A rally term that that reminds you the proper way to drive. Green is trees or vegetation, which you don't want to drive in, Brown or Black is the road where you want to be, so it's preferred if brown and black are in the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
In like a lamb, out like a lion
|
||||
Term about approaching quietly, then tearing though a closed stage like a beast. Usually credited to John Buffum. But it was probably Tom Grimshaw that actually penned the words to summarize John's philosophy.
