Intake Manifold: Description and Operation
Intake Manifold Design
Shown on engine 112
The intake manifold is composed of several magnesium die-castings. When assembled this results in individual intake manifolds and the air collecting
volume. The parts are sealed to each other by plastic. The intake manifold cannot be disassembled.
The approximately 800 mm long individual intake manifolds are arranged in a spiral shape around the air collecting volume. An individual intake
manifold is assigned to each cylinder.
Each individual intake manifold has a wider opening to the air collecting volume in the middle. These openings can be opened or closed by the control
flaps which pivot through approx. 60°.
