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.
