Here Is the Performance Chip!! by subash seo / Advertising, marketing, public relations community A secondary air management system enables the newly designed powerplant to provide approximately 40kg/m of torque during ordinary low-rev driving, which gives an optimum air-fuel ratio for around-town efficiency and helps the Nissan GT-R meet ultra-low emission vehicle (U-LEV) standards. 'Ultimate supercar' by Gulf Weekly Using larger fuel orifices lowers air-fuel ratios, while reducing the size increases the air-fuel ratio.
