Sports Air Filter
An
extremely large volume of air is drawn into the engine when the
throttle is opened fully. When the throttle is closed, an inertial
force acts on this air, causing it to be compressed inside the air
box. When the throttle is subsequently opened, the interior of the
box is subjected to a vacuum and the outside air is drawn in more
vigorously than usual. In other words, the inertial mass of the
intake air can be used to intensify the heavy chain action of the
induction box. Accordingly, the air-intake system of Honda vehicles
is considerably complicated, and in accordance with the fact that
this enables an excellent pulsing behavior to be realized, random
replacement of the air box and/or the intake piping is not recommended.
In the case of NA engines with 100 hp or more per 1000 cc, these
components have a very important role to play. Accordingly, the
Spoon air cleaner was tested with the focus on reducing air resistance
to the lowest-possible level, while at the same time utilizing the
pulsing operation in the same way at on the normal configuration.
It was subsequently possible to successfully achieve optimum matching
for the complicated intake system, and excellent results were recorded
in racing and other situations.
Extreme
care must be taken in the development of the intake system, and
although extremely effective, these components are the most difficult
to design for high-performance engines. Furthermore, since exhaust
gas flows at high speed and temperature, it would be possible to
choose this for handling with some components; however, the speed
of air on the intake side is slow and only limited means are available.
In accordance with this, it is important to consider the reduction
of intake resistance, the securing of in-flow passages, and other
similar factors in a much more comprehensive fashion.
