independent suspension: any suspension in which the camber of a wheel is not directly affected by the vertical motion of the opposite wheel. intake charge: the mixture of fuel and air that flows into the engine. intake manifold: the network of passages that direct air or air-fuel mixture from the throttle body to the intake ports in the cylinder head. The flow typically proceeds from the throttle body into a chamber called the plenum, which in turn feeds individual tubes, called runners, leading to each intake port. Engine breathing is enhanced if the intake manifold is configured to optimize the pressure pulses in the intake system. intake port: the passageway in a cylinder head leading from the intake manifold to the intake valve(s). intercooler: a heat exchanger that cools the air (or, in some installations, the intake charge) that has been heated by compression in any type of supercharger. An intercooler resembles a radiator; it houses large passages for the intake flow, and uses either outside air or water directed over it to lower the temperature of the intake flow inside. |
