2. Cold air intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_air_intake

   Most vehicles manufactured from the mid-1970s until the mid-1990s have thermostatic air intake systems that regulate the temperature of the air entering the engine's intake tract, providing warm air when the engine is cold and cold air when the engine is warm to maximize performance, efficiency, and fuel economy.

3. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

   Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

4. MultiAir - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir

   Fiat S.p.A., now known as Stellantis, launched MultiAir in 2009, employing a proprietary electro-hydraulic system to precisely control air intake without a throttle valve [3] to increase engine power and torque, reduce fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and improve engine operation, offering "a more controllable flow of air during the ...

5. Heated air inlet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_air_inlet

   A heated air inlet or warm air intake is a system commonly used on the original air cleaner assemblies of carburetted engines to increase the temperature of the air going into the engine for the purpose of improving the consistency of the air/fuel mixture to reduce engine emissions and fuel usage. [1]

6. Shaker scoop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaker_scoop

   A Boss 302 engine with the optional factory shaker scoop. A shaker scoop (sometimes called a shaker hood scoop or a shaker hood) is an automobile term for an air intake for combustion air that is mounted directly on top of the engine's air cleaner and protrudes through a hole in the hood. Since it is fastened directly to the engine, it moves ...

7. Ram air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_air

   Ram-air intake – an air intake system that aids in engine performance and cooling, commonly used on aircraft and other high-performance vehicles Pontiac "Ram Air" Engines-- a line of performance oriented engines developed in the 1960s and 1970s by General Motors' Pontiac Motor Division; Ram air turbine – an air driven turbine used by ...

8. Acoustic Control Induction System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Control_Induction...

   The ACIS/TVIS System. Acoustic Control Induction System, or ACIS, is an implementation of a variable-length intake manifold system designed by Toyota.. Simply put, the ACIS system uses a single intake air control valve located in the intake to vary the length of the intake tract in order to optimize power and torque, as well as provide better fuel efficiency and reduce intake "roar".

9. Diverterless supersonic inlet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverterless_supersonic_inlet

   J-10B with a diverterless air intake displayed at Airshow China 2018. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow into their engines. It consists of a "bump" and a forward-swept inlet cowl, which work together to divert boundary layer airflow away from the ...
