➡ Swirl flaps are components used in diesel engines, whose main purpose is to introduce turbulence into the airflow into the combustion chamber to improve combustion efficiency. Unfortunately, these flaps have many drawbacks.
➡ Firstly, swirl flaps are a part of the engine that undergoes intense wear and tear and can fail. Their failure can lead to serious engine performance issues, such as power loss, noise, or vibrations.
➡ Secondly, even in the open position, swirl flaps significantly restrict the airflow, causing additional resistance and reducing combustion efficiency. Particularly, when modifying the engine for increased power and torque, swirl flaps become a significant performance limitation.
➡ Ultimately, swirl flaps are also costly to repair or replace. Their removal and replacement with blanking plugs is a popular modification among automotive enthusiasts who want to enhance their engine's performance and avoid expensive repairs.
