Malossi Intake Manifold D 18x21.5 angled for SHB 16 carburetors

The Malossi intake manifold Ø 18x21.5 inclined for SHB 16 carburetors is an essential component for the proper functioning of the engine. This intake manifold allows the air-fuel mixture to access the engine through the reed valve.

The overall performance of the engine depends on various factors, including volumetric, thermodynamic, and mechanical efficiency. Volumetric efficiency represents the ratio between the amount of mixture entering the combustion chamber and the engine displacement.

One of the main factors that affects volumetric efficiency is the friction encountered by the mixture along the path, from the air filter to the combustion chamber. The intake manifold plays a fundamental role in minimizing this frictional loss.

In addition, the intake manifold acts as an accumulation lung for the fresh charge, allowing the mixture to accumulate and compress against the reeds when the reed valve closes.

The intake manifold also has the task of connecting the carburetor to the engine crankcase or cylinder and dampening the vibrations transmitted from the crankcase to the carburetor, preventing the emulsion of gasoline and air in the carburetor float chamber.

Malossi, with its many years of experience in the field of engine fuel systems, has developed a new line of rubber and aluminum alloy manifolds for the latest generation scooters. These manifolds have been tested and developed by the Malossi experience department, both on the road and on race circuits.

Malossi rubber manifolds have a composite structure, with an aluminum insert embedded in a plastic material resistant to oils and gasoline. This structure ensures considerable rigidity in the mounting base to the crankcase and good elasticity of the manifold body.

Therefore, the Malossi intake manifold Ø 18x21.5 inclined for SHB 16 carburetors is a high-quality component, the result of in-depth study and extensive experience in the field.
