Patent ID: 10655567

Abstract:
A system for optimizing performance of an engine, including an intake manifold with an upper mount, plenum floor defining a plenum opening, lower mount defining intake openings, and intake runners communicating between the plenum and intake openings. The upper mount may be coupled to an air inlet device and the lower mount may be coupled to a cylinder head. A mountable device has an upper portion and lower portion and is configured to be inserted through the upper mount of the intake manifold to be coupled to the plenum floor so the mountable device covers the plenum opening and at least the upper portion of the mountable device remains between the upper mount and the plenum floor. A fixation system is configured align the mountable device to the intake manifold and to prevent the mountable device from decoupling from the plenum floor during engine operation. The mountable device is interchangeable without removing the intake manifold from the cylinder head.
