An automotive intake is an air intake for an engine. Since the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be specifically engineered and tuned to provide the greatest efficiency and power. An ideal automotive intake system should increase the velocity of the air until it travels in to the combustion chamber, while minimizing turbulence and restriction of air flow. This is usually accomplished by flow testing on a flow bench in the port design stage. Cars with turbochargers or superchargers which provide a pressurized intake system, usually have extensive tweaking of the intake system to improve performance dramatically. | ||
| A modern air intake system should have three main parts, an air filter, mass air flow sensor, and throttle body. Many cars today include a silencer to minimize the noise when entering the cabin. Silencers impede air flow and create turbulence which reduces total power; so many performance enthusiasts often remove them. | |||
cold air intake A cold air intake is a system used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car for the purpose of increasing the power of the internal-combustion engine. A secondary goal is to increase the appeal of a car by changing the appearance of a car's engine bay and creating an attractive intake noise. These aftermarket parts come in many different colors and many different sizes, and are an inexpensive way to increase performance. A cold air intake operates on the principle of increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. Because cooler air has more density for a given volume, cold air intakes generally work by introducing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay. However, the term " cold air intake " is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine, causing less cooler air. warm air intake A warm air intake, is a system to decrease the amount of air going into a car for the purpose of environment health to reduce the amount of oxygen going to the internal-combustion engine. A warm air intake system operates on the principle of decreasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. Warm air from inside the engine bay is used opposed to air taken from the generally more restrictive stock intake.
