An article of manufacture for providing an automobile turbocharging fitting is disclosed. A turbo fitting is a funnel shaped device that is attached to an outgoing airflow port of an air filter intake enclosure and secured into an air flow line running to the input to a throttle body of an internal combustion engine. The inner diameter of the turbo fitting is reduced from its width at the air filter enclosure to its exit diameter in the air flow line. Air directional devices, which may be raised tabs or grooves, running the length of the inner surface of the turbo fitting. These air directional devices are oriented in a clockwise direction when viewed into the turbo fitting from the air filter enclosure end.

An air suction device for a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine. The air suction device includes a device guiding purified suction air for combustion in the direction of the internal combustion engine, and an air filter element and a housing receiving the air filter element, and at least one air guiding device. The air guiding device is formed in the shape of a channel and is provided for guiding suction air to the housing. The air guiding device extends in the region between a holding device and the housing. The holding device is formed to receive at least one light source and has an air leading channel adjacent to the light source, which is connected in an air guiding manner to the air guiding device.

In a method, dynamic pressure oscillations in the intake tract or outlet tract of a respective internal combustion engine are measured during normal operation, and from these measured oscillations, a corresponding pressure oscillation signal is generated. A crankshaft phase angle signal is determined at the same time. From the pressure oscillation signal, an actual value of at least one characteristic of at least one selected signal frequency of the measured pressure oscillations in relation to the crankshaft phase angle signal is determined, and the current trimming of the intake tract is determined on the basis of the determined actual value, taking into consideration reference values of the corresponding characteristic of the respectively identical signal frequency for different trimmings of the intake tract.

An intake duct structure of a motorcycle includes front forks disposed on both of right and left sides of a head pipe of a body frame and a main frame extending obliquely backward and downward from the head pipe, wherein the intake duct structure extends from a front end of the motorcycle toward the head pipe and is formed in such a manner that an interfered area where a rotational orbit of the front forks at a time of steering overlaps the intake duct structure is elastically deformable.

A combustion air intake apparatus for a truck, tractor, or bus vehicle for highway use includes an air deflecting element that is selectively deployable to cause dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion to increase static air, pressure within the intake apparatus under appropriate conditions. Deployment or retraction of the air deflecting element is responsive to at least one of forward speed of the vehicle, air pressure downstream of an air inlet opening, or throttle position, and may further be responsive to detection of precipitation and/or particulate material. An air deflecting element may include a moveable plate or flap, moveable louvers, or a moveable duct.
