Another critical design of the Throttle Body would be the type and size of Air Filter to use when running the FSAE race car. Under operating conditions, the FSAE race car kicks up many debris particles from the ground over which it runs, ranging from dead leaves to sand and even small rocks. Those, in addition to other foreign airborne particles, are harmful additions to the air in which the engine is taking in. In the best case, these particles are disintegrated when they enter the combustion chambers, but decrease the power created. In the worse case scenario, these particles accumulate and eventually cause damage to the pistons and combustion chambers, and lead to piston seizure, and eventually to a blown engine.
