➡ Swirl flaps are components used in diesel engines, primarily to introduce turbulence into the airflow to the combustion chamber, increasing combustion efficiency. Unfortunately, these flaps have several drawbacks.
➡ Firstly, swirl flaps are parts of the engine that undergo significant wear and can fail. Their failure can lead to serious engine issues such as reduced power, noise, or vibrations.
➡ Secondly, even in the open position, swirl flaps significantly restrict airflow, causing additional resistance and reducing combustion efficiency. In particular, when modifying the engine for increased power and torque, swirl flaps can become a significant performance limitation.
➡ Ultimately, swirl flaps are costly to repair or replace. Removing them and replacing with blanking plates is a popular modification among automotive enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine's performance and avoid expensive repairs.
