:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3: thats funny .

 

I think in general people refer to an intake as the cold air intake or air filtration unit because normally people don’t replace the intake manifold.

So yes, I think you’re being semantical.

whizzzzzzzzzzzz:rofl3:

 

doesnt the uppy downy thingy suck the air through the papery filtery thingy through some ducty thingy causing the whole thing to be an intakey thingy?

 

Like I tell my wife.. If you have to ask if your being pissy,, you probably are..

 

Anal Retentive comes to mind. I do agree with you though. Like the term bike when referring to a RZR. I won't go there. By your own admission though, you refer to the moniker "intake manifold"
The filter assembly, throttle body and associated sundry items make up the "intake" of air to the engine.
Semantics I know but as they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. :badgrin:

 

Didn't some old muscle cars have a Ram Air Intake? I believe that referred to a functional hood scoop, not an intake manifold.

 

Only Pontiac. ok Ford used the term too a little bit

 

Hilarious!

 

yes...is it a motor or an engine? There is a difference

 

one is gas - one is electric

 

Is the front door to a building an exit or an entrance???

 

This depends if you are in side or out side.

 

there, clean artwork - take that

 

Short answer.....Yes...

 

I am in complete agreement, gas is engine, electric is motor, together they will be part of a power train management system.
I will state I am not a Hybrid fan but the challenge of bringing this to the point it can be used for training is what I enjoy building.

 

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion.

Motors that convert heat energy into motion are usually referred to as engines, which come in many types. A common type is a heat engine such as an internal combustion engine, which typically burns a fuel/air mixture and uses the hot gases to generate power. External combustion engines such as steam engines use heat to generate motion via a separate working fluid.

Another common type of motor is the electric motor. This takes electrical energy and generates mechanical motion via varying electromagnetic fields. Other motors include pneumatic motors that are driven by compressed air, and motors driven by elastic energy, such as springs. Some motors are driven by non combustive chemical reactions. Molecular motors like myosins in muscles generate useful mechanical motion in biological systems by chemical reactions like ATP hydrolysis - a good example of this is how sperm move...its what is taking place in the tail to propel it forward... I never thought of motors ever again in the same way after learn that in biochemistry..
:rofl3::rofl3:

 

WOW....too funny

 

why do people say ...i am off to the gas station to get gas for my truck....but they drive a diesel????

 

I don't say that....I say fuel!

 

so does anyone know what a KINIVER-PIN is ???,
my car had mushroom pistions,bamboo push rods, crome valve covers and , jewish tires (they not only stop on a dime they pick it up too )

 

CALF ROPE!

 

" Some motors are driven by non combustive chemical reactions.

Is that why Mr Peepee gets wood?
All this time I thought I was a Hunka Hunka burnin Love...:rollfinger::rofl3:

 

No! Thats called vasodialation.... the ATP hydrolysis is what provides sperm locomotion....So for a sperm, the tail is their motor...

:rofl3:

 

Kev you need to get out and ride more. Then you couldn't care less about the semantics

 

If they had said Intake Manifold you would be correct, but they didn't, they said intake. Which is a commonly used (unless your an anally retentive engineer try to prove your intellectual superiority) in and outside the industry to describe the "air filtration" system.

 

No, not the air filtration system but the "air induction system" would be the correct terminology. The filtration is only a portion of the "system".opcorn:

 

To answer the question I would say "who really gives a rat's ass", but with all the comments I guess some do give a rat's ass.:rofl3::question:

 

Heck, I do!

Here you go:

I was going to post it up in the Pay It Forward section, it's my last one. :rofl3:

 

OMG I think some People got too much time on their hands. I would think that the system that brings air in would be the intake. A manifold is a manifold. The exhaust lets air out. You put fuel in your tank not Gas. Kleenex is a brand not a tissue. Channel lock is also a brand, they make adustable locking pliers. It is just too funny how we get caught up in this BS. LOL have a good day all! Let's go riding!

 

Channel lock is also a brand, they make adustable locking pliers.!

case in point - you misssspelled and they are slip-joint - their terminology no mine

Kleenex is a brand not a tissue.

case in point - Kleenex and Linoleum became generic nouns because of incorrect terminology

 

And I wondered if I was being pissy!! Silly me, I do need to get out for a ride...
errr... drive...uhh some fun.:rofl3:

 

LMAO... last time I heard that phrase was from a west coast girl was dating some years back. She thought she was the all that....

Must be a west coast thing...:rofl3:

 

This whole thread is full of lols.

 

I hope for a great change. For a day when all the motors in this great country are fueled equally, be they gaseous or circuitous. No longer will we deal with lobbying on behalf of one race engine over another, and inequality among all intakes and outflows. Yes, change is coming to our great country ! Change we can believe in ! After all, when we bailed out GM and Chrysler, you can BELIEVE DAT !
