EG-90 ENGINE - 2GR-FE ENGINE
INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
1. General
The linkless-type throttle body is used and it realizes excellent throttle control.
The intake air chamber made of plastic is used.
A stainless steel exhaust manifold is used for weight reduction.
ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent) provides excellent throttle control. For details,
see page EG-118.
ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System) has improved the engine performance. For details, see page
EG-126.
The air intake control system is used to reduce engine noise. For details, see page EG-128.

2. Air Cleaner
A nonwoven, full-fabric type air cleaner Air Cleaner Hose with
element is used. Resonator
A charcoal filter, which adsorbs the HC that Air Cleaner Cap
accumulates in the intake system when the
engine is stopped, is used in the air cleaner case
in order to reduce evaporative emissions. This Charcoal Filter
filter is maintenance-free.
Along with the use of the air intake control
system, an air intake control valve is provided Air Cleaner Element
on the air cleaner case. For details, see page (Nonwoven Fabric)
EG-128.
Resonators have been provided to reduce the Air Cleaner Case
amount of intake air sound.

3. Throttle Body
A linkless-type throttle body in which the throttle position sensor and the throttle control motor are integrated
is used. It realizes excellent throttle valve control. For details, see page EG-118.
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.

4. Intake Air Chamber
The intake air chamber is made of plastic to realize lightweight.
The intake air chamber contains an intake air control valve. This valve is activated by ACIS (Acoustic
Control Induction System) and is used to alter the intake pipe length to improve the engine performance
in all speed range. For details, see page EG-126.
The ACIS actuator uses an electric actuator and is laser-welded onto the intake air chamber. Many of the
components are made of plastic for weight reduction.

Laser-welding:
In laser-welding, a laser-absorbing material (for the intake air chamber) is joined to a laser-transmitting
material (for the ACIS actuator). Laser beams are then irradiated from the laser-transmitting side. The
beams penetrate the laser-transmitting material to heat and melt the surface of the laser-absorbing material.
Then, the heat of the laser-absorbing material melts the laser-transmitting material and causes both
materials to become welded.
5. Intake Manifold
Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the intake manifold.
The intake manifold gaskets have rubber coating applied onto surface, and provide superior durability.

6. Exhaust Manifold
A stainless steel exhaust manifold with an integrated TWC (Three-Way Catalytic converter) is used for
warm-up of the TWC and for weight reduction.
An ultra thin-wall, high-cell density, ceramic type TWC is used. This TWC is incorporated on each of the
right and left banks.
This TWC improves exhaust emissions by optimizing the cells density and the wall thickness.

7. Exhaust Pipe
The exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel for improved rust resistance.
A thin-wall, ceramic type TWC is used.
Ball joints are used at two places: one at the exhaust center pipe joint, and the other between the exhaust
center pipe and the tailpipe. As a result, a simple construction and reliability are realized.
