Your intake manifold. It takes in air and sends it to your engine's combustion chamber. This is basically the start of the combustion process. After all, you can't have combustion without air.
In a naturally aspirated engine, as air comes in through the intake and passes through the throttle body, you've traditionally had two setups for what happens next. Using longer, narrower intake ...
Engine science isn’t quite a lost art, but it’s something that is much more understood than it used to be. Now, engines are incredibly talented at everything thanks to innovations in combustion ...
