Abstract
Systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of throttle bodies are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an intake system comprising a throttle body device including a first interface structured to be coupled to an intake manifold, and a second interface including a receiving bore; and an intake adapter including a third interface including a radial groove structured to house a seal device, and a fourth interface structured to be coupled to an intake conduit, wherein the third interface of the intake of the intake adapter is structured to be inserted into the receiving bore of the second interface of the throttle body device.
Claims22
An intake system comprising:
- a throttle body including:
- a first interface structured to be coupled to an intake manifold,
- a second interface including a receiving bore, and
- a valve disposed between the first interface and the second interface and structured to vary an intake of air from an intake conduit;
- and
- an intake adapter structured to be disposed between the throttle body and the intake conduit, the intake adapter including:
- a third interface, at a first opening of the intake adapter, including a radial groove structured to house a seal device, and
- a fourth interface, at a second opening of the intake adapter fluidly opposite the first opening, structured to be coupled to the intake conduit,
- wherein:
- the third interface of the intake adapter is structured to be inserted into the receiving bore of the second interface of the throttle body.
A kit, comprising:
- a throttle body having a first interface structured to be coupled to an intake manifold, a second interface including a receiving bore, and a valve disposed between the first interface and the second interface and structured to vary an intake of air from an intake conduit;
- an intake adapter structured to be disposed between the throttle body and the intake conduit, the intake adapter having:
- a third interface, at a first opening of the intake adapter, including a radial groove;
- and
- a fourth interface, at a second opening of the intake adapter fluidly opposite the first opening, structured to be coupled to the intake conduit;
- and
- a sealing device sized to seat in the radial groove.
A method, comprising:
- coupling a first interface of a throttle body to an intake manifold, wherein the throttle body has a valve disposed between the first interface and a second interface of the throttle body and is structured to vary an intake of air from an intake conduit;
- sealingly coupling a third interface of an intake adapter to the second interface of the throttle body, wherein the third interface is at a first opening of the intake adapter;
- and
- coupling the intake conduit to a fourth interface of the intake adapter, wherein:
- the fourth interface is at a second opening fluidly opposite the first opening, and the intake adapter is disposed between the throttle body and the intake conduit.
