We won't delve into them here, but the type of intake manifold can affect its containment. For example, a single-plane manifold tends to dampen reversion pulses more effectively than a two-plane ...

Intake manifolds may not be the most well-known automotive components, but that doesn't take away from their importance. These devices are responsible for sending a precise mixture of fuel and air ...

FIGURE 1—At the risk of oversimplification, here are schematic representations of the three basic types of intake manifolds. The I.R. design is absent of any plenum chamber. Two-plane (or two ...

The time has come to buy a new intake manifold for your hot rod ... But let's back up a bit and see how the two manifold types differ. Different StrokesFirst, let's look at the most common ...

Let us begin by saying this was the most impressive stock replacement-type intake manifold we ever tested. Having a forced induction (turbo) combination to enhance the higher airflow volume of the ...

The fuel injection types used in newer cars include four ... which is the throat of the engine’s air intake manifold. For some automakers, single-point injection was a stepping stone to the ...

Any insight into this issue? —Carl Shelton ANSWER: Leaking intake manifold gaskets are a fairly common problem on several GM V-6 and V-8 engine types built during the past two decades.
