T-VIS (TOYOTA-VARIABLE INDUCTION SYSTEM
)
GENERA
L
a
. The intake manifold passage leading to each
cylinder is divided into two parts
. One of
these (the variable induction passage) is
provided with an intake air control valve
.
This valve opens and closes in accordance
with the speed of the engine, thus acting as
a variable induction valve
. This makes it
possible to improve engine performance in
the low-speed range without sacrificing the
high engine speed and output that are
distinctive features of engines with four
valves per cylinder
.

. The intake air control valves for all cylinders
are constructed as one unit, and are opened
