An air intake apparatus includes an air intake apparatus body including an intake passage and a detection bore, a sensor holding portion holding a sensor, a pipe member constituted by an elastic member and including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the detection bore and the second end being connected to the sensor holding portion, the sensor holding portion including a fitting portion which includes an inner peripheral portion contactable with an outer peripheral portion of the second end, the sensor and the pipe member being fixed to the sensor holding portion by a contact of the outer peripheral portion of the second end with the inner peripheral portion of the fitting portion in a state where an insertion portion of the sensor is inserted to be positioned within the second end of the pipe member to widen the second end.

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 an 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 engine includes a crankshaft. A driveshaft is connected to the crankshaft, and extends in an up-and-down direction of an outboard motor. A propeller shaft is connected to the driveshaft, and extends in a back-and-forth direction of the outboard motor. An intake pipe is connected to the engine. The intake pipe includes a first pipe portion and a second pipe portion that are provided separately from each other. A seal member is disposed between the first and second pipe portions, and couples the first and second pipe portions therethrough.

A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

An intake manifold includes a passage wall portion having a first member passage wall portion provided at a first member, a second member passage wall portion provided at a second member, and an inner joint portion including a division point at which an inner joint portion is divided from an outer peripheral joint portion, the inner joint portion at which the first member passage wall portion and the second member passage wall portion are joined with each other. At least a part of the inner joint portion except for the division point is arranged at a height position closer to a middle part of a gas passage than the division point in a first direction in which the first member and the second member are opposed with each other.

An air intake apparatus of a multi-cylinder engine includes an intake air inlet passage, an intake air distribution portion, a plurality of independent intake air passages, and a secondary gas inlet passage. The intake air inlet passage has one end portion attached to a throttle valve, and the other end connected to an intake air distribution portion. The intake air distribution portion has a space therein. The secondary gas inlet passage is connected at a part spaced apart, in the intake air inlet passage, from the throttle valve. The intake air distribution portion has a reflux passage which is a passage that connects the space and a part between the one end portion and the other end in the intake air inlet passage. The reflux passage is a passage which refluxes fresh air and secondary gas introduced from the intake air inlet passage to the intake air inlet passage.

Methods and systems are provided for regulating airflow through a charge air cooler integrated in an intake assembly. In one example, an engine intake assembly comprises a plenum having an integrated charge air cooler (CAC), a first header seal positioned around a circumference of a first CAC header, and a first rotatably movable seal positioned in a bypass passage of the plenum. The first movable seal interfaces via sliding contact with the first header seal and adjusting a position of the first movable seal may vary the amount of airflow through the bypass passage.

An air intake apparatus includes an air intake apparatus body including an intake passage and a detection bore, a sensor holding portion holding a sensor, a pipe member constituted by an elastic member and including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the detection bore and the second end being connected to the sensor holding portion, the sensor holding portion including a fitting portion which includes an inner peripheral portion contactable with an outer peripheral portion of the second end, the sensor and the pipe member being fixed to the sensor holding portion by a contact of the outer peripheral portion of the second end with the inner peripheral portion of the fitting portion in a state where an insertion portion of the sensor is inserted to be positioned within the second end of the pipe member to widen the second end.

An air intake manifold for an internal combustion engine having a top shell and a base weldment. The base weldment is formed by permanent joining of a bottom shell having a plurality of air outlets with a runner assembly having a plurality of runner components each having an air inlet and an air outlet, wherein the plurality of runner components are attached to one another via a support member to form the runner assembly.

An intake apparatus of a V-type internal combustion engine including first cylinders arranged along a first direction in a first bank and second cylinders arranged along the first direction in a second bank, the intake apparatus includes a surge tank, first branch paths, second branch paths, and a protrusion. The surge tank is provided above the first and second banks. The surge tank includes a lower wall, an air inlet, first air outlets, and second air outlets. The first air outlets are arranged along the first direction in the lower wall. The second air outlets are arranged along the first direction in the lower wall. The first branch paths connect the first outlets to the first cylinders. The second branch paths connect the second outlets to the second cylinders. The protrusion is provided on the lower wall between a closest first air outlet and a closest second air outlet.
