    OC - puwedeng ObsCi din.

    EFI - electronic fuel injection

    IHE - intake, headers, exhaust
    ICE - in car entertainment or internal combustion engine... more often used to refer to the former (in regards to stereos, DVDs, subs, etcetera)

    MAF - Mass Airflow Sensor, used by most EFI engines to meter fuel delivery... located right after air filter. Hondas dont' have one... they have a MAP (mass air pressure sensor) that's less delicate and exposed.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
