Managing air flow for maximum performance Air management is a building block of ACERT™ Technology. The C175 has a tall cross-flow cylinder head that accommodates larger ports and helps direct a large amount of cool air into the cylinder with the least resistance, resulting in the best port performance of any engine in the world. The C175 improved breathing enables a greater amount of cool air in and out of the engine, which helps produce higher power ratings and lower emissions. This, along with lower air pumping losses, results in reduced fuel consumption. Fuel system advances for multiple...
