Here are some more information for Performance Intake Valves:
Not too many automobiles have the distinction of being both a supercar and a cult car, but the Lamborghini Countach is one. Referred to by Forbes Magazine as "the poster child for cult cars", the Countach featured the exotic design and high performance criteria for supercars. Yet it also has the 'cult car' charisma.
The word countach itself implies exotic. In the native Piedmontese language it is used by men when they encounter an amazingly beautiful woman. The word is not translatable into English but expresses the same idea as a wolf whistle.
Marcello Gandini of the Bertone Design Studio designed the Countach. The Bertone Studio was also responsible for the Lamborghini Miura. The Miura is among the first if not the first of the super cars. British motor journalist used the phrase to describe the Miura in an article in CAR Magazine published during the 1960's. CAR magazine then claimed the credit for 'coining the phrase.'
A single prototype, the LP500, painted sunflower yellow, made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971. However the design needed considerable modification before it could be put into production.
The first production model was the LP400. It was a 2-door sports coupe with a rear mid-engine and rear-wheel drive.
Several modifications had to be made to the prototype. The air intake valves on the prototype were found to be inadequate for cooling the engine. So large air box scoops were added on the rear shoulders and large NACA ducts were added on the sides. The original futuristic light clusters were also replaced by conventional lights.
A total of 157 LP400's were produced. The first recorded delivery was made to D. Milne of the Australian Defence Force Transport Corps.
Then in 1978, Lamborghini brought out the LP400S. This was manufactured in a series of three. While the interior modifications were limited to an upgrade in the engine, the exterior changes were extensive. Lamborghini added fiberglass arch extension and replaced the tires with Pirelli P7 units, a much wider tire than was mounted on the LP400.
In 1982, the LP500S was introduced. The engine was upgraded to a more powerful 5-liter model but no changes were made to the exterior.
In 1985 additional improvements were made to the engine. Other changes were made to conform to US federal standards so the car could now be sold in the United States. This model was priced at $99,5000.
The year 1988 marked the 25th anniversary of the company. They celebrated by introducing the 25th anniversary Countach. This model had undergone considerable changes in styling that proved to be unpopular with many Lamborghini followers.
Then in 1975, Walter Wolf, an extremely wealthy Canadian businessman and owner of the Wolf Racing Team, purchased a LP400. However, he didn't like the engine. He, therefore, contacted Lamborghini's chief engineer and requested that the company custom build a special high-powered engine.
The result was an engine capable of reaching 315 kilometers per hour and producing 447 hp/7900 rpm. This model was also equipped with the upgraded wheels, Pirelli P tires, large fender flares and rear spoilers as had been installed on the LP400S. It was painted red with black fender flares.
The company produced 2,042 cars from 1974 to 1989 when they retired the design. Although its popularity has declined somewhat, it continues to be a collectible with a loyal following.
Solenoid Valve Under The Hood Is One Of The Hottest Trends In Automotive Design
As a true lover of all things mechanical, I find the automobile to be one of the most fascinating solenoid valve we humans have ever created. Now that the fallout from the auto industry crashing and burning has settled, you can begin to see the outline of the many good things which are yet to come.
There are forward thinking trends all over the auto industry, and one of the hottest new car trends which I see evolving substantially during 2010 and beyond revolves around what goes on under the hood of our cars and trucks.
There is a lot of fringe activity within the auto industry on all things electric, with new batteries being developed, and many different flavors of new hybrid electric cars being designed, and quite a few hybrids being sold. It would appear that we are on the brink of a serious power plant design revolution. The standard system under the hood of most cars and trucks is a simple internal (or infernal if you don't really love them) combustion engine. In light of the fierce competition to keep this older technology in place, and maintain it as a viable contender in future designs, automotive engineers have to work harder to squeeze every bit of energy out of the smallest engines ever. The task is only complicated in that it takes quite a lot of testing and design work to reinvent something this simple.
Lets face it, if the internal combustion engine is going to survive, then it is going to have to get in shape, and really start carrying its own weight. One truth is that these damn things are truly amazing, yet even after all the time they have been around, they are still an exceptionally inefficient machine. What the engineering world is now tasked with is to advance the basic technology of the modern gasoline engine, and propel it forward into the new millennium.
Manufacturers are going to be putting more of their engineering focus on the efficient use of fuels, and by focusing on squeezing the most out of smaller engines, the engineers are moving quickly towards corporate efficiency objectives, while still maintaining a reasonable level of performance. It appears to me that the auto engineers are finding that the simplest tricks might be the smartest way to achieve their efficiency goals. There are also federal emissions and efficiency mandates in place which the auto industry needs to keep ahead of, or there will be serious financial consequences for any manufacturer which falls short of these goals.
The primary trend which I have been watching and hearing about for quite a while now, has become all about which power plant is being put under the hood of our cars and trucks! For most new car models the newest trend is to design and build them with smaller more efficient engines, with a secondary objective of maintaining, or increasing the power output of these engines. With the upcoming technical enhancements, many of these smaller engines will operate near the same output of their larger predecessors. Auto engineers are accomplishing these complex design objectives by incorporating better electronic controls for their engines, and also by adding inventive new ways to operate critical mechanical parts of these engines.
One example of the heavy investment into this type of new technology is with a little car company called Fiat, which was recently merged with Chrysler. Fiat has pioneered a very unique internal combustion engine air intake control system dubbed "Multiair," in which the intake and exhaust valves are controlled by a special solenoid valve system. This "electromechanical" system is one which varies the opening and duration of the intake and exhaust valves, and this gives the engine management systems more and finer control over the actual combustion process.
What this means to the consumer is that they now can adjust the engines efficiency and performance by simply adding a special solenoid valve with specific controls that adjust to your driving demands automatically. If you are aggressively mashing the throttle, then the valves will be opened wider and longer, giving the engine more fuel, therefore more power, and when idling, or at other times when low power is all you need, the solenoid will automatically adjust the valves for smooth yet ultra efficient engine operation.
Incorporating this control scheme into many of the newer engines means that Chrysler cars will now be on the road to recovery with respect to gaining better mileage and keeping similar performance that Chrysler customers have come to expect. Now if only they could do this amazing control thing on a 440 "Hemi" engine! or better yet, on my 1995 Jeep six cylinder engine. That is a retrofit that I would gladly install onto my older cars!
There are a handful of other upgrades which will accompany these newer engines, and one of the first places we will see rapid advancements in the next few years is in the transmissions and controls for them as well. Automotive engineers are working on ways to increase the efficiency of their transmissions, especially the automatics, since they are inherently inefficient. also the auto manufacturers are excited to add hot toys which will help squeeze maximum horsepower out of the engines by adding cool gadgets like turbochargers, which for example you could get on a tiny 4 cylinder engine in their PT Cruiser, this gave the car great fuel mileage in normal driving conditions, and yet some fairly impressive torque when you really needed it!
In summary the more important trends are not about which color pallet will be coming out at the car show this year, nor about which DVD TV system will be in the new minivans, but I believe that it will be more about efficiency and performance, and this will be achieved with new Pneumatic technology under the hood!

2004 Suzuki LTZ400??????????? ATV HELP!!!!!! Please........?
i took my '04 ltz400 to a dealer ship a while back and they said a valve was going bad. since then i've noticed the performance has deceased. i'm preparing to change out the engine valves. i know there is an exhaust and intake valve, but is there just one of each in the engine? or are there more? i need to know so i know how many to buy. do you have any tips or suggestions before i take on the task of replace my engine valves?
