An intake system of an engine of a vehicle includes a turbocharger having an elbow configured to be connected to a compressor of the turbocharger. The elbow for the turbocharger includes: an inlet through which a first fluid is introduced; an outlet through which the first fluid is discharged; a passageway part extending between the inlet and the outlet; and a fusion part provided between the inlet and the outlet and configured to communicate with an inside of the passageway part.

An intake system of an engine including an intake manifold, which includes an intake air introducing pipe and a plurality of independent intake pipes, is provided. Each of the independent intake pipes has an arc shape surrounding the intake air introducing pipe from outside with a space. A first independent intake pipe is curved more in the cylinder lined-up direction than a second. From the side in the cylinder lined-up direction, the arc shape of the second independent intake pipe is more distant from the intake air introducing pipe. To a first member constituting part of the intake air introducing pipe, a second member is joined to form the arc shape of the first independent intake pipe. A third member disposed radially outward from the first member is joined to the second member to form the arc shape of the second independent intake pipe.

An air pipe for motor vehicles, in particular for connecting a hot component to a cold component, is provided. A first connector at a first end of the pipe is provided for securing the pipe in an airtight manner to a hot component and a second connector at a second end of the pipe is provided for securing the pipe in an airtight manner to a cold component. At least one flexible pipe portion is provided between the first and the second connectors. Supporting rings made from a material which is dimensionally stable in relation to the flexible pipe material are provided. The supporting rings surround a free pipe cross section and stabilize the cross-sectional shape of the flexible pipe portion.

A body structure includes a generally trough-shaped first structural member having a floor, two opposed side walls having respective top edges, and an open top along a length of the first structural member defining a generally U-shaped cross-section. The first structural member has a first portion with a first flow direction therethrough and a second portion with a second flow direction therethrough different from the first flow direction, the first portion having opposed first and second ends with a first opening in the first end, the second portion having opposed third and fourth ends with a second opening in the fourth end, wherein the second and third ends are in fluid communication with each other. The first portion has a first average depth and the second portion has a deepened portion having a second average depth larger than the first average depth.

The present disclosure provides air intake ports and/or intake manifolds having an altered configuration to improve the efficiency of the air intake ports, intake manifolds, and by extension, the engine.

An intake passage includes: a main intake passage provided with a throttle valve and extending from one side toward the other side along a cylinder bank; and a bypass passage provided with an EGR valve and connected to a part of the main intake passage located toward the other side with respect to the throttle valve. The bypass passage extends from a branch of the main intake passage toward the one side and then turns back and extends toward the other side. The EGR valve is located in a part of the bypass passage extending toward the other side and overlapping with a part extending from the branch to the one side.

The intake manifold includes an intake air introduction port, a surge tank and a plurality of intake pipes. The intake air introduction port is connected to one end side of the surge tank in a direction in which the intake pipes are arranged. The surge tank is provided with a stepped portion over the direction in which the intake pipes are arranged. The stepped portion has an erected wall erected from a surface of the surge tank and connected to the plurality of intake pipes, and a curved wall connecting a tip side of the erected wall and the surface of the surge tank. Further, the surge tank is provided with a concave portion recessed toward the stepped portion at an intermediate portion in the direction in which the intake pipes are arranged.

The present disclosure provides air intake ports and/or intake manifolds having an altered configuration to improve the efficiency of the air intake ports, intake manifolds, and by extension, the engine.

An intake duct structure of a motorcycle includes front forks disposed on both of right and left sides of a head pipe of a body frame and a main frame extending obliquely backward and downward from the head pipe, wherein the intake duct structure extends from a front end of the motorcycle toward the head pipe and is formed in such a manner that an interfered area where a rotational orbit of the front forks at a time of steering overlaps the intake duct structure is elastically deformable.

An intake device for an internal combustion engine configures a flow passage for intake air that is drawn into combustion chambers. The intake device includes an intake manifold configuring multiple runners that respectively distribute intake air to multiple cylinders, a surge tank including a cavity that is connected to the runners and defines a convergence portion, a throttle body incorporating a throttle valve, and a connection pipe connecting the surge tank and the throttle body and configuring a curved flow passage extending between the throttle body and the surge tank. The connection pipe includes a partition plate that divides the curved flow passage into a circumferentially inner flow passage and a circumferentially outer flow passage.
