Throttle Body with Motor Assembly
A link-less type throttle body with motor assembly in which the throttle control motor and the throttle position sensor are integrated is used. It realizes excellent throttle valve control.
In the throttle control motor, a DC motor with excellent response and minimal power consumption is used. The ECM performs the duty ratio control of the direction and the amperage of the current that flows to the throttle control motor in order to regulate the throttle valve angle.

Intake Manifold
The intake manifold has been made of plastic to reduce the weight and the amount of heat transferred from the cylinder head sub-assembly. As a result, it has become possible to reduce the intake air temperature and realize the high intake volumetric efficiency.
Intake noise has been reduced by installing a meshed gasket between the throttle body with motor assembly and the intake manifold to reduce the size of pulsations in the intake air.
An insulator (No. 2 intake manifold insulator) made of foamed polyurethane is provided between the intake manifold and cylinder block sub-assy to reduce sound radiated from the engine.
