Intake Manifold
DESCRIPTIONFig. 6
The aluminum alloy manifold is a cross type with long runners to improve inertia (Fig. 6). The runners, attaching below at the cylinder head, also attach above and support an air plenum. The air plenum chamber absorbs air pulsations created during the suction phase of each cylinder.
OPERATION
The intake manifold directs and delivers air to the combustion chambers. This air allows the fuel delivered by the fuel injectors to ignite, thus producing power.
