WOT - what does this mean???

jal3lee · 07-01-2005, 02:02 PM

i'm pretty new to this forum and to my s2k (about 3weeks for both), so this may be a STUPID question, but what does WOT stand for? I've seen this word used in some of the threads, but not knowing exactly what is meant.

I guess I wasn't clear. It means you are depressing the throttle pedal all the way until it will go no further. In doing so, you open the butterfly on the throttle body fully. If you have ITBs (another abbreviation: independent throttle bodies... one for each cylinder), you open all of them fully.

You can do this above VTEC, below, in reverse, on a lawnmower, with the engine off... doesn't matter. Just a shorthand for saying that you're giving it all the engine's got.

I've always liked the phrase "Hammer Down".

Probably got that from "Convoy" with Kris Kristofferson
