When the engine is running under a light load or
below a certain rpm, this valve closes, creating a
powerful swirl
. This increases combustion
efficiency, thereby improving fuel economy
.
Under a heavy load or over a certain rpm, the
valve opens, increasing intake efficiency, and
thus improving engine output
.
A swirl control valve is provided in the intake
port of each cylinder
