Purpose, Function
By lengthening the exhaust passage, the transmission of exhaust pressure waves to other cylinders can be delayed, and the amount of gas exhausted from a cylinder and forced back inside the combustion chamber is reduced By reducing the residual gas, the temperature inside the combustion chamber is reduced and the occurrence of knocking even at a high compression ratio is inhibited.
Construction
The exhaust manifold is installed to the rear of the engine. In addition, the catalytic converter (WU-TWC) is integrated (WU-TWC).

When the No.1 cylinder is at the intake stroke, the No.3 cylinder is at the exhaust stroke. By inducing the high temperature gas exhausted from the No.3 cylinder into the No.1 cylinder, the high temperature gas in the No.1 cylinder remains. If the amount of residual gas is high, the temperature in the combustion chamber rises and knocking can easily occur. With the 4-2-1 exhaust system, the transmission of exhaust pressure waves between each cylinder is delayed by the long exhaust pipes.

Planetary Gear [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The planetary gear is a mechanism which shifts the drive force from the engine.
The planetary gear consists of multiple gears which rotate individually while
revolving. By controlling the individual rotation and revolving of the gears,
the transaxle performs gear shi ...
