AIR INTAKE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The engine air intake system consists of the following
engine mounted component parts:
INTERCOOLER
Turbocharger
Wastegate (if equipped)
Intercooler
Carburetor assembly
Intake manifold
Air filtration system (if equipped)
INTERCOOLER
The intercooler is used to reduce the temperature of
the air after it has been compressed by the turbocharger. This intercooler has tube and fin construction
and a plenum which receives air from the turbocharger. By reducing air temperature entering the
engine, the charge density is increased and a denser
air/fuel charge enters the cylinder. As a result more
horsepower is produced for a given cylinder displacement. Cool air/fuel temperatures also help to prevent
detonation (see Figure 2.15-1 and Figure 2.15-2).

WARNING
The Deltec carburetion system must have a positive gas shutoff valve that opens upon cranking
and closes whenever engine rotation stops. Failure to provide the valve will cause an explosive
environment resulting in severe personal injury or
death.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
The F18/H24 intake manifold is a one piece casting
mounted on the left side of the engine (see
Figure 2.15-11). The manifold is also the mounting
base for the CEC Ignition Module and instrument/control panel.
