Synergistic induction and turbocharging includes the use of one or more throttles in close proximity to each cylinder intake valve to control air flow in each intake port delivering air to combustion cylinders in an internal combustion engine system. A turbocharger may also be affixed in close proximity to each cylinder exhaust valve to enable a synergistic combination of hyper-filling cylinders with combustion air and immediate harvesting of exhaust gas by adjacent turbochargers. In some implementations the turbochargers may be low-inertia turbochargers. The combination of individual throttles per intake port and a turbocharger in close proximity to each cylinder enables faster ramp-up of an engine in the early stages of acceleration. Various implementations thus provide improved fuel economy and improved engine performance in tandem, instead of one at the expense of the other.

The invention relates to a double distributor for distributing the intake fluid of an internal combustion engine and controlling the temperature thereof, comprising a body (1) in which first and second channels for circulating said intake fluid are arranged, first (10) and second (20) shutters being positioned in said channels in order to distribute the flow passing through said channels, said distributor also including a motor (9) for actuating said shutters and kinematics simultaneously actuating the first and second shutters according to a movement law in response to an actuation of said motor, said kinematics comprising an inactive position in which said shutters are positioned when no force is supplied by said actuator motor, characterized in that said kinematics are configured such that said shutters can strictly follow said movement law when actuated by the motor from said inactive position without returning to said position.

An internal combustion engine may include at least one engine block having a plurality of cylinders and at least one flange component. At least one attachment part may be secured to the at least one flange component. An alignment device may be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part relative to the at least one flange component when the at least one attachment part is attached to the at least one flange component. The alignment device may include at least a first alignment unit, a second alignment unit, and a third alignment unit, which may be spaced apart from one another. At least one of the first alignment unit, the second alignment unit, and the third alignment unit may be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part to a cylinder head in relation to a first aligning direction perpendicular to an attaching direction, when the at least one attachment part is attached to the cylinder head. At least one of the first alignment unit, the second alignment unit, and the third alignment unit may be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part to the cylinder head in relation to a second aligning direction perpendicular to the attaching direction and inclined to the first aligning direction. The at least first alignment unit, the second alignment unit, and the third alignment unit may each be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part to the cylinder head exclusively in one of the first aligning direction or the second aligning direction.
