N62 Engine
Purpose of The System
The N62B44 engine is a completely new development from the NG (New Generation) series
and is available as a B44 (4.4 liter).
The development objectives were:
• Reduction in fuel consumption
• Reduction in emissions
• Increased power
• Improved torque and torque curve
• Improved engine acoustics
The most important features of
the new N62 engine are:
• 8 cylinders in a 90º V configu-
ration
• 2 four-valve cylinder heads
• Light-alloy design
• Newly-developed variable
intake manifold
• Valvetronic system
In conjunction with the Variable Intake Manifold, the Valvetronic system adapts the intake
valve lift to ensure optimum cylinder filling. The throttle valve use is limited during engine
operation to maintain a constant intake manifold vacuum.

Air Routing
The intake air passes through the air intake duct to the air cleaner, through the throttle sec-
tion into the variable intake manifold and on to the two cylinder head intake ducts.
Increases in engine output and engine torque, as well as optimization of the engine torque
curve, are largely dependent on an optimum engine volumetric efficiency over the entire
engine speed range.
Long and short intake paths contribute to good volumetric efficiency in the lower and upper
speed ranges. Long air intake paths ensure optimum volumetric efficiency in the lower to
middle speed ranges. This optimizes the torque curve and increases the torque.
In order to optimize the power increase in the upper speed range, the engine requires short
air intake paths for better cylinder filling. The air intake system has been completely rede-
velopd in order to eliminate this inconsistency in terms of air intake path length.
The air intake system consists of the following components:

The throttle valve on the N62 is not necessary for engine load control. This is carried out
by the intake valves variable lift adjustment.
The tasks of the throttle valve are:

Airflow is controlled by the throttle valve during the starting procedure when the air temp-
erature is between 20 ºC and 60 ºC, .
If the engine is at operating temperature, it will be switched to non-throttle mode approx-
imately 60 seconds after start up. In cold conditions however, the engine is started with
the throttle valve fully opened because this has a positive effect on the starting characteris-
tics.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Intake Manifold
The N62 engine is equipped with a Variable Intake Manifold making it possible to reach a
generous torque curve even at low engine speeds, without incurring losses in engine out-
put at higher speeds. It ensures that the engine exhibits optimum volumetric efficiency
through the entire range of speeds.
The new feature is the Variable Intake Manifold intake pipe length can be adjusted depend-
ing on the engine speed to provide efficient cylinder filling and scavenging. This is deter-
mined by the optimal matching of the intake pipe dimensions, the exhaust system and the
valve timing.
The intake manifold is located in the engine “V” and is mounted on the cylinder head intake
ports.
Function
In order to understand how engine speed relates to volumetric efficiency, the physical
processes within the intake pipe must be taken into consideration.
To ensure that there is good airflow to the engine cylinders, the intake pressure in front of
the intake valve should ideally be high. This means that good airflow (high gas molecule
density) in front of the intake valve is necessary.
