The intake manifold in your Volkswagen vehicle is
the mechanism that directs the air and fuel mixture from the throttle
body to the valve ports. Its design has much to do with the engine’s
smooth and efficient operation. To achieve even operation, the fuel
charge used by each cylinder should have the same strength and quality.
Therefore, the fuel distribution should always be equal. And it largely
depends on the style of your Volkswagen intake manifold.
The most common designs of intake manifolds for various vehicle makes
and models are single-plane intake manifold, dual-plane intake
manifold, tunnel ram and individual runner. Aside from that, intake
manifolds are also categorized as units for small-blocks and big blocks
and for street and truck use as well. The single-plane intake manifold
has the simplest and most uncomplicated design. This type of manifold
has runners featuring one turn and are reasonably short than the
runners found in dual-plane intake manifolds. Single-plane intake
manifolds will not work that good on mild and meek street engines
because they are tuned for high rpm operation.
As its name suggest, the dual plane intake manifold split down the
middle to have two sides. The two barrels at one side feed on four
cylinders and the two barrels on the other side feed another four
cylinder. Dual-plane intake manifold are perfect for engines that are
tuned to produce lots of torque at low rpm. It contributes to the
vehicle’s superb drivability. For racing applications, one can use the
modified aftermarket sheetmetal intakes.
In the automotive market, most of the high performance intake manifolds
are made from cast aluminum or sheetmetal. Volkswagen intake manifolds
are just among the units in the industry that are tuned to haul out the
best performance from your drivetrain. Made to complement the “people’s
car”, Volkswagen intake manifold are made up of materials that are
tough enough to withstand even the worst temperature. Volkswagen intake
manifolds are made with well-designed walls so that warping at the
gasket mounting surfaces will be avoided.
