Combined WAVE-VECTIS simulation of an intake manifold of V6 PFI gasoline engine

This paper describes the analysis of the flow in the intake manifold of a V6 gasoline engine performed using WAVE 1D engine cycle simulation program alone first, and then using WAVE coupled with 3D CFD VECTIS. The work shows how modeling in 3D selected components of the inlet manifold embedded within the 1D flow network leads to improvements in prediction accuracy.
The main purpose of this work was to improve the WAVE model of the V6 3.2l engine, scheduled for installation in the GTA version of the popular Alfa Romeo 156 vehicle. Moreover, this work was also part of a comparative study between two intake manifolds differing in shape and volume.

Alfa Romeo 156 Brake Replacement

The procedure below was written up for a 1998 2.0 Twinspark with vented front discs but should be the same for all 156 models. The shape of the pads will differ between vented and solid discs at the front. Later models have larger rear discs and therefore different pads. It should not matter if we are talking standard brakes with normal or drilled/grooved discs with high-speed road pads - the process is the same. The only difference is that some front pads don’t have the wear indicator so you will need to tie the cable back out of the way if not required.
