They open at higher RPMs in order to allow full air flow through both ports.
A new twin - airbox intake path lifts horsepower by four and torque by nine pound feet, thanks to a secondary intake stream that
opens at high rpm.
Not exact matches
The car is in full fighting mode now: shift times are down to 50 milliseconds, 275 electric horses are ready to boost for up to 30 seconds, gear changes are conducted
at high rpm in Drive, the ESP / ASR threshold is even lower, the tail rudder is in runway position, and the nasal air intakes are wide
open.
With an automatic transmission this is very difficult because if you try to run the engine
at wide
open throttle the automatic transmission will extend your shift point up to the
high RPM range and you will get very bad BSFC and in turn efficiency.
This means that the
open circuit voltage
at full load and
high RPM is very
high.
The system used the same EX-SE twin outlet muffler, a revised air intake tract, a revised camshaft and a revised intake manifold using IAB butterfly valves which
open at 4600
rpm to increase air intake breathing
at high rpm.
This electronic control system yields
higher combustion
at wide -
open throttle, when more power is required and increased torque
at lower
RPMs.
It offers expanded valve
opening angles (Wide) which enables the engine to operate in a modified - Atkinson cycle
at low
rpm for improved economy and lower emissions, and in the Otto cycle
at high rpm for better performance, while delivering
high torque throughout the
rpm band.
Whereas traditional VTEC operation changes valve
opening duration based on
higher oil pressure during
high rpm operation
at one side of the valvetrain's rocker arms, the Civic's i - VTEC system can switch valve timing duration
at low
rpm and low oil pressure using two hydraulic actuators on both sides of the intake rocker arm.
Examples of Vs are V - twin, V4, V6, V8, V10, V12 and V16 Vacuum Servo: The clever use of the engine partial vacuum to assist in pressurising the braking hydraulic system Valve: In engine parlance Valve is a device that
opens and closes an air passage to let in or let out gasses Valve Bounce: A condition where the fast moving valve has exceeded its springs ability to keep from bouncing up off its valve seat
at high rpm.
At higher engine speeds (above 3,600 rpm), both the primary and secondary passages are opened, helping boost power at high rev
