  2. Supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger

    The design used a complex series of bypass valves in the induction and exhaust systems as well as an electromagnetic clutch so that, at low engine speeds, a boost was derived from the supercharger. In the middle of the rev range, a boost was derived from both systems, while at the highest revs the system disconnected the drive from the ...

  3. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.

  4. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_air_control_actuator

    The actuator consists of a linear servo actuator servomotor that controls a plunger which varies air flow through the throttle body. The position of the servomotor and hence the amount of air bypass is controlled digitally by the engine ECU. This allows the engine's idle speed to be maintained constant.

  5. Jaguar AJ-V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_AJ-V8_engine

    Implemented an electric supercharger bypass valve. Added an eco-start-stop starter motor. Updated air box assemblies, mass air flow (MAF) sensors, and throttle body. 2014: Further redesigned timing chain guides, incorporating an added steel button for MY2015 vehicles. Introduced new timing chain tensioners.

  6. Chrysler 1.8, 2.0 & 2.4 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_1.8,_2.0_&_2.4_engine

    The turbocharger compressor housing features a built-in bypass valve, and the turbo housing is cast into the exhaust manifold with a loop-around flow pattern. The boost level varies anywhere from 11 psi (0.76 bar) to 15 psi (1.0 bar), depending on the PCM's desired torque target and temperature conditions, but will be reduced if significant ...

  7. Automatic Performance Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Performance_Control

    If it is, then the control unit activates a solenoid valve that directs boost pressure to the turbocharger's pneumatically controlled wastegate, that opens to bypass exhaust gases from the turbocharger directly to the exhaust pipe, lowering turbo boost pressure until the knock subsides. Knock events that are managed by the APC can be discerned ...

  8. Bendix-Stromberg pressure carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix-Stromberg_pressure...

    The fuel delivery component is either remotely mounted at the "eye" of the engine's supercharger or at the base of the carburetor body. The fuel is sprayed into the air stream as it enters the engine through one or more spring-controlled spray valves. The spray valves open or close as the fuel flow changes, holding a constant fuel delivery ...

  9. Inertial supercharging effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_supercharging_effect

    Inertial supercharging effect is the result of incoming fuel/air charge developing momentum greater than intake stroke would generate alone. It is achieved by the careful design of the shape of the piston head, the valves and cam profile/valve timing which creates a vacuum that pulls more exhaust gases (and some of the intake gasses) out of the engine.
