Intake & Forced Induction

Boost pressure regulation is central to the performance, efficiency, and durability of any forced-induction engine. By controlling how much compressed

Forced induction is a proven method of increasing engine performance without relying solely on greater displacement. By compressing incoming air,

Forced-induction systems compress intake air to increase the amount of oxygen entering an engine. However, compression also raises air temperature,

Turbo lag is the delay between pressing the accelerator and feeling the turbocharger deliver additional boost. While a brief response

Variable Geometry Turbochargers improve forced-induction performance by adapting exhaust-gas flow to engine speed and load. Their movable turbine vanes help

Twin-scroll turbochargers improve forced-induction performance by dividing exhaust pulses before they reach the turbine. This separation preserves exhaust energy, sharpens

Supercharger types are designed to force more air into an engine, allowing it to burn additional fuel and produce greater

Turbocharger operation enables an engine to produce greater power without a proportional increase in displacement. By redirecting exhaust energy to

Intake manifold design is a critical factor in determining how efficiently an engine receives air. Runner geometry, plenum volume, port
