– Long intake path, 705 mm
– Changeover flap closed for high torque
Each of the two splined shafts is fitted with
four flaps per cylinder bank.
The shape of the rubber-encased flaps
ensures unimpeded air flow in the torque
position and reliable power position sealing
of the duct. This is a prerequisite for
utilisation of the gas-dynamic resonance
effects. In the power position, the backs of
the flaps take on the shape of the duct wall,
thus allowing low-resistance intake air flow
into the cylinders.
Mechanical couplings provide a link with the
vacuum units for adjustment of the two
shafts and thus the intake manifold flaps.
– Short intake path, 322 mm
– Changeover flap open for high power
with high air throughput
Changeover from long to short at 4,480 rpm
