What does an air bypass valve do?
What does an air bypass valve do?
An air bypass valve causes the throttle to crack open ten to 15 degrees, allowing some of the air charge to enter the engine, or bypasses the air charge directly into the exhaust manifold.
How does the AEM bypass valve work?
AEM’s patented Air Bypass Valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock in the event the filter of your AEM intake becomes submerged in water. It shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged. Air is routed through the bypass valve’s external diaphragm to keep water out and air flowing in.
What is better than a cold air intake?
A short ram intake is the most popular type of intake on the market. Since the intake is in the same location as your factory intake system, it’s design allows for engine heat to have an easier path into your intake system, creating less horsepower and torque than an equivalent cold air intake.
Will short ram intake increase horsepower?
Both cold air intakes and short ram intakes aim to bring more air into the engine. This results in better combustion and more power and torque. Some manufacturers claim that their intakes can add as much as 20 horsepower.
Air Bypass Valve Products. It’s easy with a brand-new Air Bypass Valve. Located at the upper part of the inlet pipe, it locks down filter induction when the latter accidentally submerges in water. It automatically reroutes air through the outer diaphragm to allow continuous airflow and to prevent water from flowing in.
What is an air intake valve?
An intake valve is the name for a valve that allows air or fluid to pass through it, typically during the intake phase of an engine’s operation.
What is cold air induction system?
A cold air intake is like amazing medicine that allows your engine to finally breath. Cold air intakes move the air filter outside of the engine compartment so that cooler air can be sucked into the engine for combustion. Cooler air brings more oxygen (denser air) into the combustion chamber and that means more power.
What is an air control valve?
An idle air control actuator or idle air control valve ( IAC actuator/valve) is a device commonly used in fuel-injected vehicles to control the engine’s idling rotational speed (RPM). In carburetted vehicles a similar device known as an idle speed control actuator is used.
