Air Filters and Intake Manifolds

Air filters are devices that remove solid particles such as dust, mold, and bacteria from the air. Used in building ventilation systems and engines, they contain an intake manifold that is primarily tasked to optimize the system/engine’s performance and efficiency.

Will a 350 stock intake manifold fit a 305 motor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I had a gmc truck once that had a terrible exhaust leak I was told it was because it had 305 heads on a 350 block and the mechanic that told me this plugged up the leak with a bolt it sounded like it was out of oil all the time go figure! acctually if you put 305 heads on a 350 it will increase compression and you will have more low end torque so go for it dude

Where do vacuum lines go on a 1994 dodge shadow?

Asked by Wiki User

To many to try and go thru on this site, but your Dakota should have the routing on a label that is on the under side of the hood. If not, my Chiltons book in the Emissions chapter starting at page 4-20 has routing diagrams for all of the engines.

Inlet Valve is comprised of 2 words i.e. Inlet & Valve. Therefore Inlet Valve is that valve through which fuel or a mixture whose pressure in increased by reducing its volume in intaked into the cylinder.

What is a Buchner or filter flask and how is it used?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From Wikipedia.com (see Link to the left):

A Büchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, filter flask, side-arm flask or Kitasato flask, is a thick-walled erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an inch from its neck. The short tube and hose barb effectively acts as an adapter over which the end of a thick-walled flexible hose (tubing) can be fitted to form a connection to the flask. The other end of the hose can be connected to source of vacuum such as an aspirator vacuum pump or house vacuum. Preferably this is done through a trap (see below), which is designed to prevent the suckback of water from the aspirator into the Büchner flask.

What causes a Flame?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rather than what the previous answer was, I believe the flame moves because of where the reaction is taking place. The combustion reaction requires oxygen as well and so where it feels an abundance of oxygen (small scale level), the reaction will follow -> which leads to the visual effect of the moving flame.

Outside from that, many factors can affect motion of the flame, such as a draft from.. anything, and many more simple factors like such.

What causes flames to come from carburetor?

User Avatar

Asked by GAIL

Carb flames are causes by a variety of things. most often the engine is advanced to far or you have a carb leak interally that puts to much fuel in the engine. If the engine has high miles the intake valves may be leaking allow the flame to escape around it.

Pounds to foot pounds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming the question refers to torque, then 1 ft-lb = 12 in-lbs.

If you have a torque wrench reading inch-pounds, divide by 12 to get foot pounds.

Conversely, multiply foot pounds by 12 to get inch pounds.

If you want to get a little more technical, then read on.

Torque quantifies force applied in a twisting action, such as tightening a bolt with a wrench. The longer the lever arm (distance the force is applied from the point of rotation) the greater the torque. This assumes the force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the lever arm, which is the normal case in practice.

Formally, the definition of torque is force multiplied by distance, or force acting perpendicular to the lever arm multiplied by the length of the lever arm.

If you are doing something like using a torque wrench on a car, you steady the connection of the wrench to the bolt or nut to make sure the force you are applying is perpendicular to the axis define by the length of the bolt. Then the reading on the torque wrench is an accurate measure of the torque applied to the nut or bolt.

What is a reasonable amount of time and cost to replace an intake manifold gasket and an EGR valve on a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 6-cylinder OHC?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It should take 1.5 hours to do the intake, assuming a rate of $99 an hour for labor plus parts it should be around $200. It should take one half hour for the EGR valve but the part is expensive so around $300 total for that.

What does an intake manifold do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It basically takes the air from the outside and sends it to the individual cylinders on the vehicle. It has a sensor in it that senses air flow and, with this information as well as other information from other sensors, It will establish the correct air fuel mixture just before the mixture goes into the cylinder.

What is a cabin filter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you are asking about an Auto Cabin Air filter.

The air is drawn in through the vents in the front of your windshield. The filter keep dirt, dust and junk from entering your air-conditioner and cabin when you turn on a fan. I usually get between 50 and 60,000 miles between changes. On my 2003 4Runner and my 2008 Tundra it's located right behind the glove box. I don't know where yours is located but I'll bet it's in the same place. Instructions usually come with a new cabin filter so check the box.

How much horsepower can you get from intake header exhaust?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe you meant to ask about an EXHAUST header. Most headers advertise a 10-25% hp increase. I believe that a more reasonable figure is 5-8% depending on the quality of the headers. "Tuned" headers tend to yield slightly higher gains because each runner is supposedly the exact same length so there is less backpressure. Some back pressure is okay, so don't try to eliminate it all.

Personally I have fabricated my own exhaust headers for quite sometime now, I don't use same length runners, instead I change the rocker arm ratios to adjust for the shorter/longer length the exhaust must travel.

How do you access air filter in a 2005 Acura RL?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Acura RL is a solid built car so it would be hard to access its air filter or any of its technical and mechcanical items for you and me and any small mechanic repair shop for that matter. It's best to take your Acura RL to the Acura Dealership to perform this task.

thats absolute non-sence,

the engine air filter is located in the front left or right hand of the engine compartment it will look like a large plastic box, it has 5 tabs on the sides that need to be pulled away and the top will come free "some wiggling may be necessary" the filter is usually of a paper variety however many after market filters are available. any parts dealer will be able to give you the proper filter based on the make, year, and engine type of the car. by engine type I mean the displacement like a Acura 3.5l RL the "3.5" is the displacement.

lower is rambling, read if you like

thats absolute non-sence, any half witted Nerfherder can do this. dealers rip you off! I will explain. the rise of car maintenance is do to the fact that 90% of people out there don't want to get there hands dirty , the manufacturers make things seem complicated and put danger signs all over because idiots sue them when they stick there hand in the fan while the engine is running.

to make up for this maintenance facilities buy equipment and train the wrench monkeys how to put in to car, push button, and read the code, go to a book that it tells them whats wrong, they pass this built in idiocy to you. the owner. I build and refurbish aircraft. and aircraft maintenance isn't as expensive as car maintenance is! and I hold an actual degree, not only that if I screw up your not dead on the side of the road your just dead.

they tell you it is technical, usually that means with out a computer to tell them, they don't know. some things are usually just hidden or requires special tooling that was made to do the job so you couldn't do it at home, these tools are usually found online or at part stores, and at$89 to120. dollars per hour, at least try it your self . I am not saying rebuild your engine but a filter is basic same with bulbs oil plugs. just read a bit and educate yourself first.

remember nobody is any better than anyone else, they have just been shown before, educate yourself and rid yourself of idiots that want to lighten your wallet.

hmmmm, the horspower on a 440 4bbl in the magnum, super commando or t-n-t engine package was 375 ponies i belive and the 6 pack motor put out 395 but these numbers could be a bit low due insurance companys back the and the govt. regulations, i would say if the commpession ratio was that of the motor options above you should be well over 300 ponies
