Systems and methods for equalizing backpressure in engine cylinders

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.

20200200070 · 2020-06-25 · ·

Apparatus and method for directing airflow into the air intake (carburetor or fuel injection system) of an internal combustion engine for increasing air flow velocity and the quantity of air reaching the cylinder or cylinders thereof through the use of an electrically powered fan, are described. The fan is installed inside of the air filter element such that when the air intake throttle plates are closed or partially closed, the unused airflow exits the apparatus to relieve the pressure created by the fan, and when additional air is needed by the engine, air can enter the filter element. The fan may be continuously operated during the operation of the motor, and at all engine speeds.
