A first intake manifold is connected to a first group of cylinders, a second distinct intake manifold is connected to a second group of cylinders and a first, respectively a second, exhaust manifold for receiving the exhaust gas emitted from the first, respectively the second, group of cylinders. An EGR line is connected to the first and second exhaust manifolds. A mixing unit includes a four-way valve having a first inlet connected to an air line, a second inlet connected to the EGR line, a first outlet connected to the first intake manifold and a second outlet connected to the second intake manifold. The first inlet is connected to the air line, the second inlet is connected to the EGR line. The first outlet and said second outlet form a substantially X-shape. The first inlet and said second inlet are coaxial. The first outlet and second outlet are coaxial such that the first inlet is diagonally facing the second inlet and the first outlet is diagonally facing the second outlet.

An engine component includes an intake manifold of stratified layers defining a plurality of runners each having a gas outlet leading to a cylinder head, and a plenum including partial walls forming channels radiating from a common gas inlet extending into a gooseneck conduit having an incorporated positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) apparatus. The gooseneck conduit transitions into the channels and runners such that there is no seal between the gooseneck, plenum, and runners.

An intake system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes: an intake manifold configured to be fluidly coupled to a throttle valve and including intake runners for cylinders, respectively, of the internal combustion engine; and a plenum that includes a flange configured to receive gas from a valve of the vehicle, that is fixed to the intake manifold, and that includes apertures configured to flow gas from the plenum into the intake manifold one of: between ones of the intake runners; and directly into the intake runners.

An intake manifold according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a first intake manifold having a second intake pipe, a third intake pipe, and a first surge tank which temporarily stores intake air flowing through an intake line and distributes the intake air to the second intake pipe and the third intake pipe. A second intake manifold has a first intake pipe, a fourth intake pipe, and a second surge tank which temporarily stores intake air flowing through the intake line and distributes the intake air to the first intake pipe and the fourth intake pipe.

An air delivery system for an engine includes a first air filter, a second air filter, a first conduit, a second conduit, an air box, and a third conduit. Each of the first air filter and the first conduit, and each of the second air filter and the second conduit are disposed at a first angle with respect to a lateral axis of the air box. The first angle is adapted to limit restriction to flow of intake air from each of the first air filter and the second air filter toward the air box. The third conduit is disposed at a second angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the air box. The second angle is adapted to limit restriction to the flow of intake air from the air box to the engine.

A manifold for use with an internal combustion engine defining at least one cylinder and an EGR circuit, the manifold including a first chamber having an inlet and an outlet, where the outlet is open to the cylinder, and a second chamber having a first port open to the first chamber, a second port open to the first chamber downstream of the first port, and a third port open to the EGR circuit.

An engine component includes an intake manifold of stratified layers defining a plurality of runners each having a gas outlet leading to a cylinder head, and a plenum including partial walls forming channels radiating from a common gas inlet extending into a gooseneck conduit having an incorporated throttle body. The gooseneck conduit transitions into the channels and runners such that there is no seal between the gooseneck, plenum, and runners.

A second intake manifold has a first intake pipe, a fourth intake pipe, and a second surge tank which temporarily stores intake air flowing through the intake line and distributes the intake air to the first intake pipe and the fourth intake pipe.

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.
