  2. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    The manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP sensor) is one of the sensors used in an internal combustion engine's electronic control system. Engines that use a MAP sensor are typically fuel injected. The manifold absolute pressure sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine's electronic control unit (ECU).

  3. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    In a propeller aircraft, an overspeed will occur if the propeller, usually connected directly to the engine, is forced to turn too fast by high-speed airflow while the aircraft is in a dive, moves to a flat blade pitch in cruising flight due to a governor failure or feathering failure, or becomes decoupled from the engine.

  4. Propeller speed reduction unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_Speed_Reduction_Unit

    A propeller speed reduction unit is a gearbox or a belt and pulley device used to reduce the output revolutions per minute (rpm) from the higher input rpm of the powerplant. [1] This allows the use of small displacement internal combustion engines to turn aircraft propellers within an efficient speed range.

  5. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston 's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.

  6. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

    The output power from the propeller is equal to a product of propeller efficiency and input power from the engine. Manifold pressure gauge - When the engine is running normally, there is a good correlation between the intake manifold pressure and the torque the engine is developing. The input power into the propeller is equal to a product of ...

  7. BMW N20 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N20

    The BMW N20 is a 1.6 and 2.0 L (98 and 122 cu in) turbocharged four-cylinder DOHC petrol engine with variable valve lift and variable valve timing which replaced the N53 (or BMW N52 in some markets) and was produced from 2011 to 2017 by BMW. Although the N20 is a four-cylinder engine, it is considered a replacement for the naturally aspirated ...

  8. BMW M57 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M57

    The injection pressure is 1,350 bar (19,600 psi) [2] in the non TÜ engine, whilst all other engines use a pressure of 1,600 bar (23,000 psi). [2] For fuel injection, magnetic injectors are used, except from the TÜ2 OL and TOP engines, which make use of piezo injectors. [ 2 ]

  9. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.
