Fresh Air System
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:
