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