An exhaust system includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion separated by a common wall. The first housing portion has a first exhaust passage therethrough. The first exhaust passage has a first inlet receiving exhaust gasses from a turbocharger. The second housing portion has a second exhaust passage therethrough. The second exhaust passage has a second inlet receiving gasses from an exhaust bypass valve. The first passage and the second passage are non-intersecting within the housing.

A method and system for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger includes the two-stroke engine comprising an electronically controlled exhaust valve. A throttle position sensor generates a throttle position signal corresponding to a position of a throttle plate of a throttle. A boost box is coupled to the two-stroke engine. A boost box pressure sensor is coupled to the boost box and generates a boost box pressure signal corresponding to a pressure within the boost box. A controller is coupled to the boost box pressure signal controlling a position of the electronically controlled exhaust valve in response to the boost box pressure signal and the throttle position signal.

An exhaust manifold comprises a plurality of exhaust intake conduits structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine and receive exhaust gas from a corresponding cylinder of the engine. At least one exhaust intake conduit provides a reduction in an exhaust intake conduit cross-sectional area from an inlet to an outlet. A plurality of bends are each defined by a respective one of the exhaust intake conduit outlets. An exhaust intake manifold is fluidly coupled to the exhaust intake manifold and defines an exhaust intake manifold flow axis. Each of the plurality of bends is shaped so as to define n angle of approach of exhaust gas flowing therethrough. A first angle of approach of the first bend relative to the exhaust intake manifold flow axis is smaller than a second angle of approach of an inner second bend.

An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

An applied-ignition internal combustion engine includes first and second combustion chambers, an exhaust-gas system with an exhaust-gas purification system is disposed at the first and second combustion chambers, and an exhaust-gas manifold. An exhaust gas from a combustion of a fuel/air mixture firstly flows through the exhaust-gas manifold and subsequently flows through the exhaust-gas purification system. A first section of the exhaust-gas system from the first combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system is cooled more than a second section of the exhaust-gas system from the second combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system. The first combustion chamber is operated with a lean fuel/air mixture, the second combustion chamber is operated with a rich fuel/air mixture, and an overall exhaust-gas lambda value at an inlet into the exhaust-gas purification system is stoichiometric.

An exhaust manifold for an internal combustion engine is provided. The manifold comprises at least one first exhaust gas inlet connectable to a first bank of cylinders of the engine, and at least one second exhaust gas inlet connectable to a second bank of cylinders of the engine. First and second exhaust gas outlets are connectable to respective first and second volutes of a twin volute turbocharger. At least one wastegate outlet is connectable to a bypass passage which bypasses the turbocharger. A diverter valve is located within the manifold, wherein the diverter valve is adapted to selectively direct exhaust gas from the first and second inlets to at least one of the first and second exhaust gas outlets and the wastegate outlet. A turbocharger is also provided having the same diverter valve arrangement, as are internal combustion engines having either the manifold or turbocharger, and a vehicle having such an internal combustion engine.

The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger with a manifold-flow casing, in particular a dual-flow casing (47) and a turbine wheel (34) which is rotatably arranged within said manifold-flow casing, onto which an exhaust gas flow (14; 16) may be led via at least one of several flow channels (18, 26), and an outlet opening (78; 80) following said one flow channel (18, 26) and covering an angle of 180° max. about an axis of rotation (44) of the turbine wheel (34), so that a shaft (38) is rotating which is arranged coaxially and non-rotationally relative to the turbine wheel (34), which is supported in a shaft bearing (42).

An exhaust system includes an exhaust manifold structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine. A turbocharger including a turbine housing is fluidly coupled to the exhaust manifold. An exhaust pulse converter includes a first portion integral to the exhaust manifold and a second portion integral to the turbine housing. The exhaust pulse converter is structured to reduce engine pumping losses by reducing cross-talk of exhaust blowdown events from the engine.

A turbocharger includes a turbine housing that has a bypass passage defined therein. The bypass passage connects a section of an exhaust passage on the upstream side of a turbine wheel to a section of the exhaust passage on the downstream side of the turbine wheel. A wastegate, which selectively opens and closes the bypass passage, is attached to the turbine housing. A valve seat for the wastegate is provided at an open edge of the bypass passage in the inner wall surface of the turbine housing. An abradable portion, which is a deformable portion, is adhered to the valve member of the wastegate. The abradable portion is configured to be deformed in accordance with the shape of the valve seat by contacting the valve seat when the bypass passage is shifted from the open state to the fully closed state.
