Abstract:
1. A telescopic intake runner system comprising: a first tubular section; a second tubular section coaxially located within the first tubular section and movable relative to the first tubular section along the axis thereof; at least one motor coupled to at least one of the first and the second tubular section; at least one sensor; and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the at least one motor, the controller operable to receive an input signal from the at least one sensor and to communicate a control signal to the at least one motor to increase or decrease an overall length of the first and second tubular sections based on the signal from the at least one sensor, wherein the telescopic instance runner system is installed upstream from a throttle body of an engine, wherein the controller, the at least one motor, the at least one sensor, and the tubular sections are integrated in a unit, and wherein the sensor operable to observe pressure pulses passing through the tubular sections, the controller operable to vary the overall length of the first and the second tubular sections based on the pressure pulses passing through the tubular sections.
