Acura RL Intake Manifold

Gasoline fuel must be turned into motion in order for your Acura RL to go about its normal tasks. The internal combustion engine is the primary component responsible for putting your car into motion, but it would not be possible if not for the other sub components comprising it. One of these is the Acura RL intake manifold. This engine system component serves an important role of ensuring that the right combination of air and fuel is channeled to the engine.

Basically, the Acura RL intake manifold is a passageway for transporting air and fuel mixture that originally comes from the carburetor to the intake valves of the engine. The location of the intake manifold varies from car to car. It can be seen mounted between the cylinder heads and the carburetor of late-model cars. On cars with multi-point injected engines, the intake manifold can be seen holding the fuel injectors. On aged cars however, you could see the carburetor sitting on top of the intake manifold.

A properly tuned Acura RL intake manifold will enable your fuel to atomize as much as possible before combustion. But do you know that the length of this car component determines the torque of your engine? Internal combustion engines can produce more torque with long intake manifold runners. This is possible because long units can store more air and fuel in the runner as the intake valve opens.

There are three different kinds of materials used in making intake manifolds: cast iron, aluminum, and modified versions of cast iron and aluminum. Older vehicles are equipped with cast iron intake manifolds. This is very much affordable, so some present day engines are equipped with cast iron intake manifolds. Aluminum intake manifolds provide better heat transfer and less weight compared to cast iron. Some intake manifolds are made of a combination of cast iron and aluminum for more horsepower and torque.

Although your Acura RL intake manifold is made out of highly durable materials, it is still prone to getting damaged. A damaged intake manifold will exhibit some cracking and leaking coolant into the oil as tell tale signs. Extreme temperatures can cause your Acura RL to crack and loose engine response, fuel economy and power. However, you can also replace your stock intake manifold with a new one if you want a performance increase on your car. Do not look much farther, because Parts Train offers a wide selection of intake manifolds that will fit your Acura RL. Get one now, and be one of our satisfied customers!
