This component is an electromechanical part regulating the amount of air entering an internal combustion engine. Its 90mm bore diameter indicates a significant airflow capacity, typically employed in high-performance or heavily modified vehicles. Its function is to directly influence engine power output by modulating air intake in response to driver input via the accelerator pedal.
The implementation of a larger-bore unit offers benefits in terms of potential horsepower gains. The increased airflow facilitates more efficient combustion, particularly at higher engine speeds. Historically, these units represented a mechanical linkage directly connected to the accelerator. Modern iterations incorporate electronic control, enabling more precise airflow management and integration with engine management systems.
